I picked vast quantities of asparagus and then had the pleasure of sorting them into piles according to length and thickness.
Tomorrow all my colleagues in Sandbach School Maths dept will get a nice surprise in their in-trays!

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. I have to wait a little longer for any real colours to appear in my garden.

Planted sweetcorn, cabbages, pak choi, corriander, parsley in beds.

Planted more peas, beans as my lot are looking a little frazzeled.

Managed to put 2 wheelbarrow loads of weeds and grass into the compost bin.

Weeded and prepared a bed ready for some carrots to go into tomorrow.

Leveled, rollered and then laid slabs for the shed base.

Sparkly planted some sweetcorn,

Only managed an hour today after I dropped kids to school, but managed to clear half of the area planned for the beans/peas of the dreaded couch grass and ouch my blisters on blisters are killing me! :)

Got my sprouts and calabrese in, mulched with hops and netted. Didn't have time to get my onions and leeks in so left them down there- just hope they've not been eaten overnight! Also got sunburnt- hence why I'm up at this unearthly hour- couldn't get comfy!

prepared beds and boxes for carrots, prepared a large bed for for the first brassicas to go in which will be caulis, potted on some squash, had to water it's been so hot and almost impossible to work in the greenhouse but loved it :)

Just harvested the last of our broad beans! we have just frozen 9 freezer bags! (was getting a bit fed up of eating them!) Oh and weeded the tomatoes, off out now to weed the sweetcorn

manicscousers · « **Reply #877 on:** May 10, 2008, 16:57:12 »

planted out some more sunflowers, ran around like mad helping customers so, no more plotting today :)

caseylee · « **Reply #878 on:** May 10, 2008, 17:18:06 »

not as much as i'd hoped as i sliced my hand badly on a tin of tomatoes last night and have those fancy butterfly stitches holding me together. But i did do a bit of weeding, sowed some salad leaves, parsley, coriander, thai basil, radishes, spring onions and carrots. oh and some optimistic watermelons.

Set out my bean poles - if the front garden in the best place for beans then the front garden is where they will go! (along with the chard and red cabbages - my husband despairs of me)
