I sowed some a variety of different summer and winter squash. My new ones this year are
Bon Bon [winter squash]
Sweet Dumpling [winter]
Moonbean [summer squash] looks pretty thats why I chose it.

I did loads on Saturday, I was down there at sun up! Yes you heard right! I had to take my son to rugby for an away tournament so afterwards I went to the garden. By the time the others were up and about I had weeded all over the place, uncovered the netting on the peas, sowed beetroot, French beans, rocket and planted out lettuce and flowers, and generally tidied up quite a few things. And all to the sound of birdsong. Beautiful. We had rain Sunday so I was rather pleased.

Done some edging, weeding, sowed some carrots, butternut squash, pumpkin, spring onions - really enjoyed it today - managed to leave children at home - only came away because they needed feeding!

Went down in the sun/rain/hail for a couple of hours to try and sort out the area where the gooseberries were, it got in a bit of a state with the couch grass making a renewed bid for domination......two large containers of couch later I'd had enough for the day and it's still nowhere near clear enough! Now I just have to decide what to plant there...I'm sure I can find something! ;D

Spent a couple of hours digging out a bucketful of bindweed. Timed it well and only got one short shower, otherwise lovely sunshine.
Sowed cerinthe, cosmos and cornflowers at home.

Dug ground elder out of part of the JA patch.

Reclaimed a patch of lawn by digging out the cr*p the previous owners left me and then backfilling the ensuing depression. Unfortunately, said "depression" is in the order of semi-circle with a six-foot diameter and four inches deep.

Had to barrow over the top soil which meant many, many trips. Arms and legs now ache but the large patch of bare soil does look soooooooo much better than what was there before.

Now bring on the grass

Fleeced everything this evening - it looks like the January snows have visited the garden again :(

Erected pole & bits ready for runners (with a lot of help from daughter 2's muscle bound lover) and did even more digging.

Tucked up all my seedlings as there was a frost last night.
Shall let them out after I have had a snooze.
All my Peas and Broad beans are showing their little heads now.
I must get round to splitting my lettuce so they can put on some growth.
Put some bark chip down to suppress the weeds between the beds, which will make it easier to walk on if we get a good downpour.

Sorted out the plants in the greenhouse and on the garden benches, what's to go to the plot and what's to go to the plant sale this Saturday.

Planted peppers, aubergines, a couple of rock melons and a cucumber in the greenhouse border all surrounded by my eggshell posses ;)

Planted out last of broccoli plants, weeded fruit beds, went mad with strimmer. Everything has a short back and sides now. ;D

Tatty · « **Reply #3638 on:** May 04, 2010, 21:59:47 »

Sorted out my little plastic 'greenhouse'.

Repotted butternut squash, pumpkin, french beans.

Sowed more french beans, planted my toilet roll parsnips and sowed some parsnips and swede.

Put some netting up for the peas.
