Topic: What did you do in the garden today?

[Dirty Digger]

i got round to finishing off a bed preparation then planted all my sweetcorn and half my butternut squash.....then it rained......excellent timing.

[bcbeans]

Planted radish, beets, carrots, and zucchini out in pots. Watered beans. They're growing well.

We took all the wood down there to build raised beds tomorrow XX Jeannine

[pigeonseed]

Ooh building raised beds, exciting!

I planted out 3 squash plants, dug out bramble seedlings, thistles and bindweed from my potato patch and weeded the flower bed.

Not much, but back bad today. There's always tomorrow!

Prepared areas for squash, pumpkins, and cucumbers
Sowed a 1/4 of the runners
Watered Rhubarb

We went up to water the toms in the GH and came home. Bloody weather is gettin me down.

[goodlife]

Nothing... :-\...rain, rain, rain... ::) But instead I visited neighbouring allotments ;D..just to snoop around how others are doing..and see fellow gardening friend....
It is so interesting to compare other allotmenteers plants and see how they are growing and doing things.. ;)

[manicscousers]

transplanted my sweet potato slip into the poly border, covered it with a glass demi john cloche..planted up one of the sweetcorn beds, planted up some sweet peppers, put fleece around the beans and over the french beans in leaf holders, phew, I'm worn out  ;D

Its been a horrible day here today so I sorted out my seed box. I found some seeds which I think might have been a freebie. They are a pumpkin seed called snow man. I dont know where to put them if they germinate. I think it might look pretty spooky.  ;D
I also found some old sunflower seeds ~ they are a deep burgundy colour called Black Magic!

From one extreme to the other  :)

[Robert_Brenchley]

[Ninnyscrops.]

Took lots of seedlings to the plant sale at the local horty.  Only came back with some Aloe and Jade. Interesting.........all the marigolds both African and French, Sweet Williams seedlings went. Lots of cottage garden seeds sold too. Maybe we're going back to traditional gardens.

did you give your sweetcorn any protection from the elements? nearly put ours in today but was too scared of frost/cold getting them...perhaps i will do tmrw seeing as you have!

John built raised timber beds and I read  A Night to Remember , we both got sunburned. John quite badly.

I had to organise things at my church this morning, forgot the notices, and had to run home for them. But apart from that, I was in a committee meeting all afternoon so I barely got onto the plot.
