Planted a blueberry, transferred some herbs from pots into allotment. Looked for signs of spuds and broadbeans, but nothing yet. Then cleared a load of rubbish from surrounding area - no one else seems bothered about the mess. Then came home and had a BIG slice of lemon drizzle cake and watched The Wizard of Oz .

Big weekend... Saturday planted out 240 broad bean plants (mixture of Masterpiece, Giant Green, Express, Sutton and Crimson Flowered with a ew Aquadulce Claudias to fill some gaps) from modules into the ground, also 120 onions and small clumps of onions from modules, a half-row of carrots from modules into a fleece tunnel, plus a 3/4 row of peas (Meteor from module strips), then went hoem and did some more to the GH frame...

Sunday sandwiched around trip to the folks for lunch on "Give Mum choclates and plants day" I finished potting up the 300-odd tender veg (tomatoes, chillis, aubergines, peppers, a half-tray of celeriac) into 15-cell trays and got them into the cold-frames... 20 of 25 tray spaces in the frames now filled.... Then refilled the propagators with pickling onions, leeks, an early shot at sweetcorn (experimental, I have loads of seed), and got some cold trays going in the kitchen of maincrop peas, a tray of assorted brussel-sprouts, one of assorted summer/autumn brassicas, a tray of herbs, and a couple of Misticanza salad......

Alas, nothing for me. Got stuck in the house while the Mrs shopped for holiday and now I have Man Flu (a lethal strain that would kill a women).

However, last thursday I planted my earlies (rocket) and inspected my rediculously earlty sown edamame beans. Now 4 inches high, just waiting for them too collapse like reports predict.

Melons and redbor kale have germinated :)

;D ;D ;D ;D

Yesterday got 30 Rocket spuds in, also about 40 Stuttgarter onions, worried about being too late for some things, but calmed down now that I have seen what other plot holders have done!

Planted out some more chitted peas and beans, took the bottles off the first ones and replaced it with a black fleece screen to keep the wind off them. Planted out some strawberry replacements previous batch total no show. No rain here for weeks so did some more watering.

Planted out some chitten chard I left it too long so not sure it will survive.

Got some more spuds but the ground is rather like concrete. Put few courgettes to chit and sat the pot on the radiator. Can't find my old packets from last year.

watered the spuds

landimad · « **Reply #4734 on:** April 05, 2011, 06:48:55 »

More and more seeds sown for this year and to sell on if to many to put in.
Cut the grass a bit lower and tidied up around the place.
Guinea pigs moved outside for the summer ahead.
No signs of new growth on my fuchsia's as yet.
Onions are just showing, as are the beets and carrots. Brassicas are not doing to well as started late.
Leeks are moving up in height and will transplant when ready.
Roses are now starting to be trained against the fence to help the clematis grow through them.
Put in actinidia kolomikta for a bit more colour along the fence line too.

Nothing, cold and rain here today. Went to Clockhouse Nursery and bought some cauliflower and broccoli plants for allotment and some plants for hanging basket. My seeds are not too advanced at present. Then went to lovely Morrisons and got two bags of compost for £5. Spent £50 + on heavy shopping as has OH took me in van, but only went for compost, but it will all keep in the freezer (the food). Kicked the terrible twins (cats) out of the plastic greenhouse and over the fence (hope they have gone home).
