Watered, put some old branches in for the peas to grow up, some onions are finally showing, not sure which type though since youngest removed the lables. ???
Washed out some old pots I found while clearing out the last of the garden rubbish, bonus !!

planted some hebes that had seeded themselves into the gravel and spent the last few months in pots- that was at home. Dug another half bed at the lottie-it's starting to look more like my Dad would have liked it- he loved tidy soil!

Wrapped and covered all tender and new plantings as there was a frost over night.
I didnt want to lose the new shoots on my fruit trees as they have showed themselves.
Watered in peas and broad beans, dead headed flowers.
potted on some little violas. I think they were minnie, free from T&M with other seeds. Eight in a packet but only three have grown into lovely little crackers.

Had a clean up round the church, found some nice old-fashioned violets which had self-seeded, and managed to rescue a bit. I've strained my back enough for one day so I'll give the plot a miss.

Hurrah. I managed to do everything i wanted to during the school holidays. I've got all my spuds in (8 rows) carrots, onion sets, parsnips, strawberries in their nice new bed (so proud of myself lol). I got the asparagus bed built and ready to go but don't think i can get the 20 plants i orderd in there lol. I also managed to build some compost bins. There have been nights i couldn't sleep because my arms ached so much and my husband isn't thrilled by my newly developed muscles but i've loved every second of it.
Counting the days till the next holiday when i can spend all day plotting :) :) :)

Worked on my front garden today. Cut down a hawthorn that was threatening to have someone's eye out and a phygelius that refuses to die but is definitely diseased. Then cut off the rusty bits on all the groundcover hypericum- back-breaking but nice to see it looking green rather than spotty brown! We were promised light rain but it didn't appear- hope we get a bit overnight so the digging at the plot is easier tomorrow.

After long and lazy morning I finally got myself into lottie...been potting up, taking cuttings, watering, weeding, pruning...lovely day.. ;D

saddad · « **Reply #3536 on:** April 18, 2010, 18:51:50 »

OH has spent a whole weekend re-doing a border... so inbetween moving sacks of compost and mulch, I pricked out @100 toms, 45 Marigolds, lettuce, Kale... potted some stuff on and generally moseyed around... :)

gwynnethmary · « **Reply #3537 on:** April 18, 2010, 19:43:00 »

did a bit more to the carrot/parsnip bed to get it a bit more tilth-like.

Deb P · « **Reply #3538 on:** April 18, 2010, 21:27:21 »

Potted on the chillies and peppers in the greenhouse at home, started hardening off some peas, calendulas, leeks and banana shallots. Then went down the lottie, took some home made compost with me to top up a raised bed, then hoed everywhere, watered the carrots, spinach and salad onions that are staring to show now, and did a bit of general mooching around.... ;D

Planted up 4 hanging baskets... Then down to the plot to Feed/Water the hens, plant out the Pak Choi, and set seeds for: Chard (Rainbow and White), Lettuce, Spring Onion, Spinach, Carrots & Beetroot.

Then gave everything a good soaking along with the green house and all the plants that we are growing for the plant sale on the 16th May... Spent an hour or so talking to fellow plot holders and enjoyed a cold can of larger.

Home for dinner and the the back garden needed watering :P
