Yesterday the council dropped off about 15 tonnes of compost right next to my plot, so I've been barrowing it on the plot for the last two afternoons, only take 4 or 5 barrow loads each said the secretary, oops I may have taken more than my share, honest guv it fell onto my plot when the council bod tipped his lorry, hahahaha.  ;)      ;D ;D ;D

Dismembered the apple tree in my garden using only a bow saw.   Managed to reduce said tree from approx 20' high to a nice stack of firewood.   Have now only got a 3' stump in garden which comes out on Sunday.

Didn't want to remove apple tree but the presence of canker decided otherwise.

We also had compost from the Council today, only took four wheelbarrows as had back ache from digging and planting potatoes.  We occasionally get wood chip which is good for the paths.  It is amazing how quickly the compost goes, but luckily we do get it quite frequently, hurray for Enfield Council.  Not sure if it is that good but put it around the trees an fruit bushes.

when you say transplant do you mean potted up or did you plant these plants all outside today? just trying to gauge when i could put some things out to create more space in the greenhouse :-\

[Ninnyscrops.]

Planted Greyhound cabbages and some more of "Lester's" peas up at the plot...sowed more pea seeds in the greenhouse.

Hiya, thifasmom, only put the greyhound cabbage, romanesco , kalibos cabbage and red cap cabbage outside under glass cloches, the rest were all transplanted inside , oh, the sweet peas in buckets have gone outside in a sheltered place  :)

Sowed a few beetroot Red Ace in modules - not tried this before, so thought I'd give it a go. Also sowed a few more French beans in toilet roll cardboard "pots". No time for any more today as I now have to go to a ceremony to dedicate a stone in memory of my late wife (1952-82) - will take a few flowers to plant.

Thanks Pippy. That's kind.  Our son, now 28, is over from Cambodia (where he's teaching) for the occasion.  We're hoping it can be occasion for happy memories and celebrating her life.

[pippy]

Thats a lovely thing to do Hopalong - so important to remember our loved ones.  She must have been a very special person.

[shirlton]

Hopalong, It's so good to remember the nice times you shared together.

Potted on tomatoes....lots of tomatoes.......some will have to go to the plant sale!!

Went down the plot and mulched where I had planted the tomatoes with mushroom compost that OH lovingly moved from the top of the hill for me, bless him! ;D I rewarded him by letting him sit in the shed and listen to the football on the radio while I did the mulching.... :-X

Came home to find a neighbour had a sign out selling some paving slabs for 50p, so snapped them up to finish off the lottie path on new half plot...at last!

Hopalong, It's so good to remember the nice times you shared together.

Thanks. You're right. It was a lovely day, a simple ceremony with some old friends - including her closest school and work friends.
