Pulled more carrots, piched some runner beans, and lifted some cabbage for tea.
More,and more weeding to be done after weeding again. This rain has been a welcome to the weeds and not to the gardener.
Took some fuchsia cuttings and transfered the strawberries to larger pots.
Sowed more carrots, lettuce, beetroot, and spring onions.
Looked at the sorrowful excuse for a cucumber plant. Cukes are not as big as first thought. Only a few inchs long not six as first thought.
Gave the garden a once over to see if there are gaps to fill with anymore crops.
Found space for some more chinese salad.

I stayed indoors today as it has been pouring with rain all day.

Hope you mean picked not pinched some runner beans, or you would be in real trouble. ;D ;D ;D

i have allowed the garden and the greenhouse to become not only untidy but a bit of a hazard, so since yesterday i have been tidying, just popped in for a late lunch will go back out in a minute.

Stayed home to do the garden today. Its looking a bit better for the attention given it. We have tended to neglect it a little this year what with one thing and another

Dug up my Turbo onions and put in the shed to dry. Soil was too wet to do much else so concentrated on getting the grass cut at home and the garden tidied up. So nice to have a day without rain!

saddad · « **Reply #2718 on:** August 02, 2009, 17:09:36 »

Still at it, just come in to make the coffee, it's my turn... it's always my turn... :-X
