Me too weeded round my strawberries and potoatoes!

Planted chillies, (Cayenne, Czechoslavakian Black and a orange one) planted 1 pumpkin (for the OH),  sowed some parsley, sunflowers around the shed, more sweet peas.  Watered the courgettes seedlings, and watered, watered and watered.

enjoyed the sunshine and had a bbq all good stuff. :)

Put some more wire up to support the climbing peas.
Sowed beetroot, cucumber and some flowers. Built a wigwam for the cucumbers first!
Planted out 2 aubergines that were big enough and the first tomato plant (A Gardener's Delight). We'll not get frost here now.
Did a bit of weeding and fertilised the strawberries that have green fruit on them!!!! oooh excitement!
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

Dug. Barrowed grasscuttings. Planted out broad beans. I thought the heatwave was supposed to be over, but it was as hot as ever. The bees were enjoying it.
