Moved my one and only raised bed to a new position to be planted with strawberries, that was quite a job because i had to move the soil as well.
went to tidy a plot i had squash in last year which is covered in straw....as I reached done sort of half wondered why the straw was in a neat spherical hump......then as i started to lift i felt something move...........

well my autumn planted broad beans were really beaten up by the last snows and today after more than two weeks recovery time i did a proper inspection and out of 18 plants i was left with 4 :'(, so i resowed some more today.

also sowed some giant radishes with a cloche placed on top for a little extra protection.

harvested some parsley from the green house and some overwintered springonions.

the autumn chinese leaves and pak choi are doing well so hopefully will be able to harvest some soon.

the PSB is coming along and should be ready in a few weeks much to my husbands disgust ::).

Have you tried babbington leeks? They come up without protection at this time of year and are very prolific at the "baby" leek stage... :)

Reclaimed two feet at the end of the garden from the woodland that we'd fenced off when we moved here because our dog kept escaping. Unearthed a shoe that belonged to our son when he was about 6 (nearly 30 now!) ;D

Went to plot to escape from a bad morning, pulled some spring onions and cast my eye for the final planning of this years planting. It always makes me feel better to go there even if I don't do anything :) Sowed more sweet peas (having been to Wilco's for a new 4 tier mini greenhouse now erected in sewing/sowing ;D room for germinating) Bought Rocket pots too and put them to chit. Not grown them before...expecting great things.

I planted my onions and garlic that I had started off in pots. Picked some leeks, Celariac, cabbages - which are now in a nice pot of soup! - yummy!

I also cleared my strawberries of all the dead stuff and mulched my rhubarb.....

I have now taken two lots of painkillers and am almost bent double!!!

How I love gardening!

Started the mighty tidy up of my garden with a little help from grandaughter and her dolly pram. Very handy for transporting prunings ;D ;D

cornykev · « **Reply #1875 on:** February 28, 2009, 20:28:57 »

Planted 3 more earlies for the challenge and started digging trenches for the spuds. ;D ;D ;D

Our broccoli isn't sprouting yet, but got the rest... the kale is producing flowering side shoots which are going in a stir-fry tomorrow... :)

Had a very productive morning helping out on the allotment.
A paddock has now been seperated into 5 plots (1/2 plots) for newbie allotmenteers. ;D
On Wednesday we will probably get another 10 plots available from another paddock ;D ;D.
No horses were harmed or evicted in the process ;)
