Topic: What did you do in the garden today?

[Froglegs]

After hurricane, propped up flattened twig arbor.
Am hopeful its blue morning glory and moonflower vines will continue to bloom since they only commenced  in Sept.!

Never mind the morning glory,as long as you are ok.

[Kea]

Got stung all over both arms from the elbow down weeding.....the nettles grown back!
Picked raspberries and dug up the rest of my potatoes!

[cornykev]

Dug up last few earlies, then dug some kestrels and stored them in the lottie shed.  ;D ;D ;D

[Emagggie]

Dug up the rest of mine too and made space for and planted cauli and cabbage plants.
Dismantled the collapsed arch ::), had a bit of a tidy up, forced red cabbage on plottie neigbours and was given blackberries and sweetcorn :)Picked tomatoes (now skinned, squished and in the freezer), more blackberries, a few raspberries and dug up celery. Tough as old boots-wont be wasting precious space on that again.

My late sown radishes had germinated beautifully,went to lottie last night and most of the tops had been bitten off.Big swear.

Pulled some carrots and beetroot,various sizes due to me not thinning out properly,very tasty.

Sweet peas still lovely although bedraggled with all this rain.

Turks Turban just beginning to turn orange.

Please stop raining.

Tidied out my shed. Hung up most of my nets and hammered in lots of nails to hang up my tools. Quite enjoyed doing that  ;D.

Had our first EVER grown sweetcorn. Once you've tasted it you will never buy it from the shops again. Mmmmm  :P

Amazing you can grow corn in all that rain!  A major accomplishment I'd say.

[cornykev]

Harvested sweetcorn, carrots, spring onions, runners, beetroot and dug up and stored some kestrels.  ;D ;D ;D

Lovely day until the torrential rain came down at about 5 pm. Cleared space for planting all the spring bulbs, free from "The Guardian" which will be arriving soon. Bagged up lots of leaves from the Sorbus tree (yes, autumn has definitely arrived), cleared leaves from around the cyclamen so that they can be seen in all their glory, gave the bay bush a last prune, pulled up the last of the blight-ridden tomato plants and harvested a goodly crop of Charlotte potatoes grown in a tub.  Also looked for Desiree potatoes grown in the compost heap but only found a few feeble specimens - won't try that again.

hoping now that the weather is dry i can get up and dig out some spuds before there eaten :) and check in my corn and my peas/beans.

Got my brown bags ready to pop them into once they dry out in the sun for an hour or two.

Carrots were a bit of a loss as when you cut into them the core was green so husband will not use them :(

[tonybloke]

cleaned the white shade paint from the greenhouse, it's that time of year again! ;)

[Emagggie]

Picked loads more beans and tomatos, more blackberries and a few raspberries, weeded and found one pea :o, ate it, surveyed the paths and sent up a prayer that someone gives me a strimmer for my birthday ;D

[tartonterro]

built the majority of a greenhouse for my mum from kit - my arms, legs and hands are killing me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[GrannieAnnie]

Picking beans and toms and  froze some Concord grape pie filling from our grapes. Next year I vow to spray them so we get more of a crop.

[saddad]

Yesterday I picked all the mouldy rasps off the canes to give the new fruit a chance... and same with the brambles... got some spuds dried and bagged up! ;D

[cornykev]

Dug up the rest of my kestrels and dried in the sun, bagged and stored in the shed.  ;D ;D ;D

[Mr Smith]

Improved my French drain at one end to take the extra water off my neighbours allotment this winter, picked another bag full of sweetcorn, forked half of the allotment that was not used this year in preperation for my muck that comes next weekend.

[cornykev]

Dug up a row of Maris poopers.   :'( :'( :'(

[Emagggie]

Arrived at 10.30 am. to find a swarm of people on the next plot :o. My plottie neighbour has very recently passed away and so his family had come to harvest his crops. Very sad. Offered my condolences and set to with weeding and removing horrid celery,a no-no for next year. Picked tomatoes, beans,carrots,raspberries and blackberries and swapped a red cabbage for some cooking apples.Got to go back to spray sprouts as they are heaving with white fly. ::)
