Topic: What did you do in the garden today?

[Ninnyscrops.]

My granddaughter ate dirt and carrots  :o

Aw bless her, I just love the picture  ;D

I trimmed all the box, leylandii and other pompoms around the pond, accompanied by Mr Robin who picked up a few tasty morsels.

Harvested the last small beetroots in my back garden and stringed up shallots and onions that were drying in my mini greenhouse.   ;D ;D ;D

[manicscousers]

finished off planting up the new strawberry bed, puled all the rest of the worn out squash plants and composted them with the dwarf beans, planted up another 50 overwinter onions, still got garlic to put in, then shallots , picked the grapes to make grape juice with  :)

Just back with the last few kilos of outdoor cherry toms, squash, courgettes, cucumber, fennel and turnips. Got too dark for proper tidying up so that will need to wait till tomorrow.

Took off the lower sprout leaves, picked some kale for freezing and weeded underneath. Raised the netting as the kale is up to my waist now, then saw the very black clouds and made a dash for home.

Dug over more ground.      ;D ;D ;D

Was my first time in the garden to do proper things - it seems like forever since I had the chance!

Just weeded out a bed. Achievement. Small thing perhaps but meant a lot to me.

Have become bogged down with work, but now, lesson learnt!

Yes - i did a bed yesterday - another bed to do today (oh my poor back lol!)

Unfortunatly I left some squash down the allotment last weekend and the frost got them - d**n : (

Dug some more on the new allotment, laid some more paving down the boundary path with next door plot... had long chat with next door plot about nothing in particular, planted out three different varieties of tree onion from plants transported down from old plot, checked up on the assorted garlics and overwintering onions I planted out last week, weede the brassicas, planted out some potato onions. Sowed up 8 trays of Aquadulce Claudia broad beans , potted up the six blackcurrant bushes I got from Lidl on Friday evening, pickled up a load of onions including a big load of small ones into mustard vinegar (1oz mustard to 1 pint vinegar) as an interim for the picallilli I'll make probably on THursday. Did the filling, sanding and washing on what will be my bedroom adn got the first coat on the wall that due to previous decoration will probably need three coats.....made 15 portions of onion gravy adn 15 portions of pasta sauce from nearly all homegrown ingredients (OK , not the olives or mushrooms)....

Harvested the last of the borlotti beans for drying, cut down the dahlia foliage now that it's all been blasted by the frost, planted garlic, weeded the paths, dug over a bed then sat down and drank tea and ate cake.

Had a good sort out, cleared one of my old strawberry beds and forked it over, then planted up two new ones with the new Ken Muir and Marshalls plants.....there was one plant short in the Marshalls lot as well (funny, I'm sure I remember another post somewhere recently that mentioned they were one plant short in a strawberry order as well, I wonder if they make a habit of it?)

Planted out a whole bed of Jermor shallots, and half a bed of Messindor Garlic (new variety I'm trying this year, my Marco garlic will go in a bit later on).

Took down the bean poles and weeded, so it is all looking quite neat...except I still have load of potatoes to dig up!! ::)

[cornykev]

Pulled up sweetcorn storks and pulled up all the big weeds and clumps of couch grass, and threw out some cabbages that are going rotten.
I did find a short fat cob that I will be having with my dinner and picked a rossa cabbage/lettuce.
 ;D ;D ;D

[tonybloke]

mowed the front lawn!!

[goodlife]

Mucked out chickens pen and all that good stuff went into lottie on bed on top of chopped up sweetcorn stems. Now there is lovely deep topping on and plenty of stuff to worms to get their 'teeth on' ;D Can't wait untill spring when I'm going to turn all that lovely stuff over and the soil is going be almost 'eatable' ;D
Now I just have to get chickent to s....more and do same to the next bed.

[Sparkly]

Dug over the final bed ready for winter! Never been this far ahead before, good job since we took on the extra half plot as we have that to do yet!
