potted up some plants; greek basil x 2, tomato from cuttings x 1 and two sweet potato plants i hope to over winter as they had a late slow start, i found 2 sweet potatoes growing in one of the pots so potted it up in a very large pot, fingers crossed they'll grow to a nice size.

also watered everything, sowed some harvested seed from an overwintered gone to flower carrot plant.

cleaned the ancient apple tree of all/ practically all the diseased fruit.

Fed and watered the garden and veggies, also earthed up my very late spuds in the greehouse. Finally sat back and enjoyed the view of what I have put together. Yes a garden which I can say is complet. But there is a change in the wind me thinks. All change next year as there will be spaces to fill and more veggie to try. :P

dug up a load of spuds, id bought some plants so planted them and did some more pots etc, aching now lol

Well, I spent the best part of an hour picking runner beans off of two rows of them.
The old folks and neighbours were very pleased to get them as the prices seem to be on the up again.

Sorted out and bought some more seed from Mr Fothergills. Looks as if I am going to be a busy bunnie for some time now with all the sowing and potting on required. Must remember to oreder some more trays and modules to put them in too.

Grass cutters had to be moved again today. Those are the resident guinea pigs, not the swimming pool as someone thought it was.

Spuds in a bag are earthed up again. Boy are they growing away well.

Watered the garden and await more veg to produce for us to eat.

Carried on shovelling more manure. Managed to get a 2nd plot on my site so have decided to cover it with inches of manure to keep the weeds down and deal with it over the winter. Trouble is i didn't realise how long it would take to do. been at it 10 days now lol. Still it's worth the aches and pains and it's doing wonders for my bingo wings lol.

I also harvested more runner beans, hoed my 1st plot to keep on top of weeds and watered.

Still loving my 1st year

Discovered I'd managed to miss a 2 inch long caterpillar the other day... ::) Cue mumbled swearing & the removal of a few dozen munched peppers. :(
