Topic: What did you do in the garden today?

[GrannieAnnie]

Pouring here so repotting and talking to my Crown Prince and Queensland Blue Winter Squash seedlings ;D.

I'm very tempted to "help" Crown Prince shed the dry seed coat from his seed leaves but know I MUST NOT!
Anybody else have that addiction? 

[manicscousers]

transplanted potimarron and butternut squash, orange banana and most prolific tomato seedlings  ;D

[cornykev]

Watered the strawberry's
Dug up old sprout and PSB plants
Washed out and filled plastic bath ready for carrots
Harvested last of the leeks and first helping of Rhubarb
The kid wants me to take her out on her bike
Not on your nelly, I'm bloody knackered.
 ;D ;D ;D

Yes - have 'helped' one of my sunflowers at the cost of a chunk of leaf! Let me be a warning to you.

I have sorted my greenhouse out today.  I am also off to the allotment to give the peas and beans some protection.

[manicscousers]

planted out some cabbage, cauli  and romanesco, barely got it in the ground and a cabbage white landed  :o
didn't get far, though and now the nets are up  ;D

[cornykev]

Finished filling a bath with soil and sowed the carrots in it.  ;D ;D ;D

[gaz2000]

hoed my pathways

broke up the heavy clay clods where my leeks will go,bloody hard work but looks great now with compost applied

[lidd63]

I pricked out my petunias - filled 72 cells and I still have some left. Also, visited a garden centre that I'd never been to before and couldn't resist buying three unusual cucumber varieties - Lemon Apples. Apparently they are shaped like lemons. Anyone seen or grown these before? I stuck 'em in a grow bag in the greenhouse.

[gwynnethmary]

sowed more runner beans, french beans (thanks BBC) and sweet corn.  Potted on tomatoes, pricked out antirhinums and sowed an apple seed ("nut") with my 4 year-old grand-daughter. Went to the lottie and did some watering. Put more compost round my potato in a bag and watered stuff in the garden.

re  helping a seed out. I always thought it a no no but just got Amy Goldmans Tomato book and she mentioned she does it!!

I transplanted little  tomatoes, still under lights, but planted out my two Tumblers and two Patio's onto the balcony today, figured they should go out as they are in full flower and 1 Tumbler has little fruit on it. broke one of the Tumblers so I think I might just have one now.

Planted squash, baby pumpkins, eggplant, peppers and beans in small pots to go under lights.

I'm on hols this week, so was determined to do some work even in the drizzle....I planted out my broccoli and cabbages, earthed up the potatoes, and constructed some of the famous 'Wilkinson arches' to act as net supports over the brassicas as my old ones are falling apart now......I only made them half as high as they should be in case you were wondering what kind of massive brassica bed I had! ;D

[grawrc]

Gosh you are so lucky! I'm miles behind you in Edinburgh! :-[ :-[

[theothermarg]

sowed some swede just before it rained then got wet catching up with the digging
beetroot, carrot,turnip and spinage beet are coming up. earshed up spuds and started putting bean canes up.undecided whether to put beand straight in or start them in greenhouse. better make  my mind up soon
brassicas are out of the greenhouse getting used to the real world :)

I'm being a bit pushy with the veg due to lack of space in my cold greenhouse Anne, I have been starting to harden things off as soon as they look big enough to survive the slugs, but will shall see if I shall live to regret it later.......! I am trying very hard to do successional sowings of things this year just in case... ;)
