Watered tomato plants and salad bed gave the onion plants and peas a feed of organic fertiliser which stinks to high heaven, hoed between the onions, put up another half dozen runner bean poles, :)

yesterday i dug some more holes (these are for aubergines and sweetpeppers) and half filled them with small mammal manure and backfilled, will be doing more of the same today (this lot will be for the courgettes and cucumbers).

Just popped up to water today. (hairday today). Did some transplanting and sowed me beans including some for the allotment shop. Sorted out the chrysanths that I want and the rest will go to the shop. It's easier for us to grow a few extra plants for them to sell than muck in on the working weekends they have.

Controversially I planted out my sweetcorn plants, I did cover them with fleece, so fingers crossed there... also weeded couch grass...

Weeded and cleared garden borders. Like others, nothing but watering at the allotment. Looks like being a bumper year for plums and gages - loads of fruit forming on the trees.

well my abdomen is killing me from the holes i dug yesterday and the sunday, so i wimped out and transplanted my french marigolds and spring onions instead, also sifted some compost and added it to the bed i planted the spring onions in, then i still had a half hour to kill so i bit the bullet and dug two holes for the cucumbers, OUCH!!!! washboard tummy here I come ;).

Had a day off today with Oh. Hauled myself round the shops, which I don't enjoy, apparently i am supposed to like shopping :-\

Anyway after 6 hours of this got myself to the lottie at 3pm, and then shifted an old compost heap, hoed my onion, rhubarb and strawberry bed, and earthed up tatties.

Headed home, cooked dinner (veggie! much to OH's disgust no meat), and I am now happily rubbing in the linament after a nice bottle of french red - shared with OH of course - has to be some compensation for a veggie dinner.

Finished potting up the chrysanths for the shop. Ended up with at least 100. Went to the plot this afternoon to do a bit o weeding and to encourage the mange tout to climb up the wire mesh. Tied the sweet peas in (will be glad when they are up the sticks) me bluddy knees are killin me.

planted out my onion seedlings, dug and filled 6 more holes for the cucumbers and some of the squashes, only 18 more to go :-\

yesterday, planted out some leeks ;D

saddad · « **Reply #2357 on:** May 07, 2009, 07:39:37 »

After tea potted up T+M sweet potato slips... not happy about condition. At over £1 each (with p+p) to have lost 4 in transit is not funny... also some annual grases for OH, some sunflowers, liquorice, nicotiana etc.. OH planted out leeks lettuce and chard into her "pottager"... ;D

Re sowed sweetcorn as none of the 42 came up :'( I have E-mailed Fothergills about the duff seed. ;D ;D ;D

Thought it was going to rain this morning, but we only had 10 minutes of very fine drizzle. So had to go and water my seed beds.

Started second batch of sweet corn. Very upset ;D one of the previous batch did not germinate. Rest growing nciely under plastic bottles.

Just seen my first courgette. It is about an inch long.
