Took a service at church this morning, then sent on a work party for an hour till we got rained off, making an empty plot usable.

Prepared a bed for the salad stuff on one plot.

Went over to the other plot to try out my new Azada (medium 7") works like a treat, so very happy!! :) Although it was raining really hard and was the only one down there - extreme gardening or what!! lol

got alot done today. It only started rain about 1/2 hour ago, so this morning we all went down to the allotment. I planted my blackcurrants and gooseberries while the OH put up my bean poles. :)

started with resowing the dead seedling (brussel sprouts and cabbage) which greeted me on my return after five days away, they were left in hubby's care.

also sowed some kale, romenesco, cauliflower.

watered surviving plants and seedlings ::)

cleaned mini vege plot pond.

gathered up lots of last autumn leaves to give the birds better access at eating the slugs and any other nasties (i know, i know its a job i should have completed during the winter but it was so coooolllldddd :-X).

then rain came and stopped play will finish off tomorrow if the rains don't continue as they are forecasted.

Said that I would get my spuds in today come hell or high water. I got the water. Got all my spuds in but found I needed more. Toddled off to Wilkos to buy 3 kg of Arran Pilot reduced to £1-50. The shoots are a bit on the long side but what the hell.

Took the cloches off the beetroot.hoed everywhere cos the weeds are growing so fast. Last years coriander has self seeded everywhere so wont be spwing any more.

potted up some yucan tubers that were sent to me, planted out young celeriac plants, erected my carrot fly barrier around emerging seedlings now that i have taken off the cloche and my mum and a visiting friend cleared a patch of ground of weeds and covered with a layer of cardboard to stop more growing as i am planning to grow my squash and pumpkins there (tomorrow will probably reveal a passing fox has ripped up all her hard work ::)).

Pink Fir Apple, it's a potato. Contact your local Beekeepers' Association. Hives are pricy unless they can find a second-hand one, but if there are any swarms going this year, they at least come free. If you have to buy bees they come expensive.

Twoflower · « **Reply #2158 on:** April 12, 2009, 09:44:12 »

I planted some of those too. Have you grown them before? I have a hive( christmas present) and the bees i am working on my father in law as he keeps them ;D It's my birthday soon and i might get a buzzy present ;D ;D ;D
