I tidyed up the greenhouse trying not to disturb my resident frog (who is fab at eating up the small slugs !)
I tied up the tomatoes and planted the last and very straggly looking aubergines and peppers , planted some marigolds in there to.

In the garden i planted out all the dried up straggly bedding that ive been hoarding , stocks dwarf lupins lobelia and some very negelcted gladys.

It feels like summer now the greenhouse is planted up. yay!

mowed the lawn, gave the geraniums a hair cut (should then give a second flush of flowers later in the season) these two tasks filled two of the compost bins to capacity.

after the school run this afternoon pond dipped with the girls, can't believe how two ponds within spitting distance of each other, created at the same time, planted with the exact same plants could have such different amount of wildlife.

[saddad]

Showed a school group round and planted 3x31 French beans with them... watered.... spent hours pricking out and potting up... dug some rough ground..
generally had a jolly time  ;D

[Deb P]

Had a tidy up before the open day.......found some little wild bumble bees nesting in my compost bin!

Harvested my Marco garlic, well impressed with the size of the bulbs, this was from my saved bulbs last year so will definitely do the same again. The other varieties have not produced as well, Solent Wight, Albigensian and Iberian....don't think I will bother with them again. All laid out in the greenhouse to dry now.....the smell!!! Courgettes are now in the empty space...well is was empty for about half an hour.... ;D

[angle shades]

 :) in the pouring rain and thunder, dug up gone to seed spinach, dug up  rest of Jap onions to eat  as I started getting white rot in March and have been eating the onions since then, dug the whole bed over which was dry as a bone and rock hard, we certainly needed the rain ;D

planted more toms in greenhouse Cherokee Purple ( my faves) came home soaked to the skin ;D/ shades x

[manicscousers]

went to Saddad and Debs open day, bought meself some fancy climbing beans, salmon flowered peas, red kuri squash, fancy toms and a couple of peppers, plus a LICQUORICE plant, for a bit of fun  ;D

[shirlton]

Weeded and weeded some more. So easy when the rain has been pouring down. Took some pink and penstemon cuttings for future plant sales..Picked me first sweet peas. A bit late but I've been waiting for the 4's (flowers). Cut a spring cabbage, Dug some spuds, picked a few broad beans and picked a nice lot of strawberries.Ower Tone built another compost container.. You just have to make the most of the dry weather at the moment. Don't know what tomorrows gonna bring.

[flossy]

   Potted up the last of the toms and cot the rotten ends off my work bench legs.

   It had spent 2yrs on the pot and the legs had rotted,  two coats of Med Blue and

    it looks like new,   will add -- 19.99 from Focus,   erm  ......    10 plus years ago and they

    are still selling them !

     Might get another for the shed !

Picked some beautiful beetroot, carrots, lettuce and radish, :)

[cornykev]

Dug up last of the brassicas and turned the ground and set up two three foot wigwams ready for some more beans.     ;D ;D ;D

[hopalong]

Harvested broad beans, radishes and spinach and started giving tomorite to the outdoor tomatoes.

[Digeroo]

Went down to the recyling centre and bought another 5 bags of recycled compost £1 each.  Have to fill your own bags.  Managed to cover myself with black.  One of the bags split and put compost all over the car.   Car stinks.

All my seedling growing mixture of it and potting compost are doing well. 

[manicscousers]

planted up the sweetcorn, tomatoes and sweet peppers I got from Derby..Ray dug up half a bed of earlies to plant out the fancy beans and salmon flowered peas tomorrow, picked a pound of ripe strawberries, lettuce, radish and spring onions towards lunch  ;D

Harvested some Lady Christyl tats, Meteor peas and spinach for supper. Dug up french garlic for drying in the greenhouse, sowed some more beetroot, carrot and parsnips (a tad late with the last bit hey ho nothing ventured nothing gained!). Watered everything as the soil was so dry underneath the garlic and tats.
