Topic: What did you do in the garden today?

[chriscross1966]

Got the tall peas into a bed made from recycled bits of edging and some imported topsoil/compost mix., they'll be climbing up net attacehd to long canes leaning against a small palm tree. Planted out the red cabbages and got them under a netting cloche  and the rest of the crimson broadies, the parsley oregano and the sunflower. Potted on the brussel sprouts and some peppers.... rejigged the autowatering for the toms in the polytunnel.

Checked the rest of the stuff and it all seems OK, indeed the Hispi's look like the pictures in the seed catalogues, I've never grown better looking cabbages.....

finished planting the green zebra tomatoes in the poly and the most prolific outside, planted the last melon inside and some more cinnamon and lemon basil, looking really good now, all the toms are growing very quickly with lots of flowers on  ;D

Finally got the onions sown.  Also got everything well watered before the temperature took off too much.

Catching up fast now.. Joh  had finished making all the raised timber beds, all tilled, fed etc. Bed of pre chitted parsnips  and beets, 3 colours, in along with carrotts.

The Rose de Roscoff onion seedlings made it in,, late but I have my fingers crossed, spring onions in too.

Finally the last of the potaatoes made it.

Bed of dwarf peas in.

2 supports erected for climbing beans all ready now.

Composter installed and starting to receive.

All in all I feel like a person again with a lottie..well a mini lottie.

Also have prepared the disabled long high raised bed I have been allocated , winter squash going in there,we have also  dug over the mini demonstration  patch we have signed up for which is to  to grow veggies for the food bank. Subject chosen is mini veggies suitable for small places.

Lets out long sigh............................................... life begins again.

After the breif rain I weeded and edged the salad bed , weeded the path and pinched out the side shoots on the greenhouse full of tomatoes. Lovely to see them comming into flower thinking about the fruit to come.

The ground is still so dry even after the rain.

Going to tie in the sweet peas later and more weeding.

[Digeroo]

Planted out some sprouts, caulis and brocolli hoping that the rain will help the move.

[landimad]

Ground now to wet to do anything.
Took some photos and painted the ramp that I am building for the garage.
Not much else to do at the moment.

[tonybloke]

harvested some more asparagus

[camo_lady]

Collected some unwanted green marble floor tiles to create 'stepping stones' in the new herb bed.

[Emagggie]

Mustered enough energy to dig a bit more so I can plant some more. Got the 'when will you be home' call at 6pm so thought I'd better stop for the sake of harmony in the home. ::) Not too much further to go now though. ;D So frustrating.....

Ooh that's a good idea.  I might steal that.   ;D

As long as you don't steal my marble (only the best for us! Lol) tiles! ;-D

I don't know how they'll stand up to the weather: it is but a freegle/freecycle experiment. Once it's done I'll post photos. (note to self.: pay 2010  sub to this site so I can upload photies.)

Tonight will be spent with graph paper 'designing' plot, while drinking home-made ice-cold mead. Oh, the suffering!!

 ;D AT SCARTANORE MAINEAR
1) Cleared weeds from a prepared bed
2) Planted 4 rows of beetroot (Detroit) and sadly, had to photograph as evidence someone's been up today! (sigh, we have  Meldrews' on the site)
3)  Mulched some raspberries.
4)  Re-inked our plot numbers on posts so they a) can't go 'wandering', again: b) keep folk from trying to take over our top plot! I ceded one to someone as we really hadn't been able to do much apart from plant trees and cut back brambles since Yule. Thankfully, they're letting us move the trees in a fortnight, but I'll be a dutchwoman before I cede another! Harrumpf!!
