Digging and weeding the area where I'm going to put a rhubarb plant that my plot neighbour Joe has said I can have.

Did one of my favourite tasks, clearing leaves and the last of the edible ones off the beanpoles to let the selected pods ripen off. I HATE putting up beanpoles, HATE picking and preparing beans, but this tidying up just suits me.

Had a lovely burn up today ;D. It's so very dry still. Not much else to be done till the groung softens a tad. Looking a bit tidier now though.

harvested dried peas and beans, still loads to go but these were near the bottom and bits of them were eaten..cut lots of calabrese and our first sprouts, trimmed everything in the fruit cage, planted up the chicories and endives, found a row of radish with what looked like carrot fly damage ???
picked tomatoes, cuc, lettuce, ishikura onions instead of spring onions and 2 radish with no damage for lunch..more runner beans, they're winding down now, and we planted up some garlic :)

Picked the first years cooking apples and eating apples. Got on with the winter digging while Tone lay on the ground weeding the broccolli underneath the wire mesh. He can't stand for long now so have to find him either sittng or standing jobs. ;D. I too collected some seeds from the beans that I had from folks on here. Picked a nice bunch of chrysanths to take to Mom tomorrow.

It took me most of the day,
But I dug one of my pits for the runner beans next year.
Picked some late strawberries and cut some cukes for the guinea pigs.
Cukes are not worth eating with salad as they are a bit bitter.
Runners are still coming and being eaten with all sorts of meals.
Carrots have not yet got big enough from the late sowing, so I will have to wait on them.
The spuds which went in late are nearly in flower and no sign of blight as they are in the greenhouse.
Mustard green manure is doing well and they will keep the weeds down on one of the beds.
Now there is a chill in the air, I think the chillies and hot peppers are the thing to be cooking.

Ate strawberries, watered squash and sweetcorn, picked another bucket full of courgettes. Bemoaned the lack of days in the weekend as I have made other plans for tomorrow, so the leeks will have to wait another week for transplanting.

manicscousers · « **Reply #2877 on:** September 28, 2009, 19:16:50 »

picked the rest of the squash to ripen off indoors :)

cornykev · « **Reply #2878 on:** September 28, 2009, 19:53:50 »

Watered.
Harvested 7 sweetcorn, one small butternut and a handful of self growing tommies.

Walked into another spider's web, didn't mean to break it, but wish they wouldn't swing them from my washing line. Sorry spider, all your hard work on my face. Picked some red hot chillies, and not sure if I burnt my hand cooking my squash soup or it was the chillies. It didn't hurt but fingers looked burnt and kind of red, mottled and swollen but only on my left hand. Thought I had some terrible disease, and would have to go to A & E, but washed and scrubbed them and put hand cream on and then after an hour it got better. My hand looked like an alien monster hand. Panic over. Or could it have been the skin of the squashes I was cutting up??. Very strange.
