Moved some bits into the mini greenhouse, weeded and noticed flowers on my Broad Beans ;D

We finally got our Canadian mini lottie and started working on it, digging it over seemed to be easy as the ground is very easy to dig and full of worms, no perennial weeds. We have cleared all the junk off, knocked down a sort of gazebo thing held together with wire and plastic bags, today we started to lay out paths and get ready for building raised beds.. coming along well so we are very pleased.XX.Jeannine

Watered it! :o

Sandy soil, no rain, plenty of sun and a steady breeze for six days - even the pond is looking low. Not funny.

Not much with my torn ligaments :'(

But with the aid of my crutch, I am surprising mobile. I am working from home today - mostly responding to emails, so I'm wondering when I could reasonably have a POETS moment. I have peas chitting that desperately need planting. I'm thinking I could shuffle along on my derriere.

finished off marking prices on hanging baskets for next week, transplanted my dwarf french beans and watered everything in the poly ;D

In toilet roll cardboard cylinders, I sowed mangetout peas that had developed shoots whilst sandwiched in some damp kitchen roll indoors. Picked some nettles to make fertiliser with, planted and transplanted some herbs and did a little bit of digging.

I am about to go to the greenhouse to sow my sugar snap and Victorian peas.

Found clumps of cat fur all over the garden- territory wars this AM
Found fox poop in various places and one dug up a tomato (maybe smelled bone meal)?

Mixed up some planting mix in holes for squash.

Weeded out rampant ivy and found one (only) volunteer poppy! Don't you love volunteers?

Rinsed off some squash seeds I'd planted last week to see if they're germinating (they are but slowwwwly.)

Filled the Windowgrow I won (from Greenhouse Sensations) with some compost and sowed the Lettuce seeds (Red Salad Bowl), Radish seeds (Scarlet Globe) and some of the Dig In mixed Salad Leaves, then left it out in the garden.

Planted out Cabbage (Greyhound), French bean (Dig In - Blue Lake), Onion (Red Baron), Onion (Rijnsburger 5), and some Shallots (Paris Silverskin) seedlings.

Re potted one of the Tigerella tomato plants, a Courgette plant (Dig In - Black Beauty) and a Cucumber plant (White Wonder).

Sowedcorinader and parsnips.Potted up some sweet peppers. Cut down aclematis which was swamping my trellies and my crab apple- quite a job but lots more light in that area now!

I had a good planting out session this afternoon, purple podded peas, calendula seedlings, banana shallots, clumps of pink torpedo onions and then had a good watering session too as the topsoil is really very dry everywhere...

manicscousers · « **Reply #3576 on:** April 24, 2010, 20:53:06 »

planted out the banana shallots, potted on 100 gardener's delight tomato sedlings, 100 nemophila white seedlings, planted up a few more baskets, got 63 now ;D
priced some of the trays of bedding up, phew, getting closer now ;D

Pulled out loads of bluebell leaves, literally filled up my composter with them and put the rest in an unused corner. ::)
