tied in and pinched out the tomatoes, planted up some romanesco and red cap cabbage, weeded, watered in the poly, planted the 11 herb plants  :o
I bought while in Brighton at the weekend, really pleased, I got back some of my herbs that died in the frost and a few I liked  ;D

[Emagggie]

Finished the digging at last :D. Planted out last of tomatoes, the butternut squash plants and the courgettes. Decided I'll have to replant climbing french beans as nothing appears to have germinated. Not going to sow direct again, that's for sure. >:(

Nothing, we have had hard rain for more than a week now and a weeks more to come..serve me right for rolling my eyes at your frosts when I got sunburned three or four weeks ago. What goes around comes around!! All sorts here getting two big for the modules they are in..we can but wait.

Planted out 4 tomato plants.
Planted up 3 hanging baskets.
Weeded my small veg patch  that has strawberries ,raspberries, peas, onions  now carrots in.
And finished off with a well deserved coffee.

Some kind soul gave me some Fuchsia cuttings again.
So I potted them on again.
Got 50 tomato plants ready for sale at the farm shop.
Potted on some of last years Bergamont.
Went to London for my Medical at 50. ;) ;) nudge nudge

watered all the herbs I brought back from brighton, weeded the other brassica bed, tied in some top heavy sprouts plants, dug up some spuds for tea and planted a potimarron squash in the space , watered in the poly to bring down the temperature (104 degrees at 9.30 a.m. )  :o ;D

[gwynnethmary]

rejoiced over our first  tomatoes!  Too small and green to eat yet, but promise much!

A break in the rain and we got the brassicas and bean plants in XX Jeannine

Started planting out the shelling beans on the allotment, sowed squash in modules into propagators, sowed sweetcorn into rootrainers into propagator...... Will now go and finish sowing squash, hopefully plant out sokme beetroot and have a sort out of the asparagus, then pick up manure on way to work....

potted up 20 lavender cuttings, I've been pruning my lovely old one, it's on it's last legs  :-\
planted up a deutzia cutting I knocked off 3 months ago, it's been in water all thet time and just grown roots, planted up 5 hazel trees from the nuts the squirrel had buried in my pots in the garden and another self seeded plant I like but can't remember the name, also weeded the bean bed and thinned out the self seeded sunflowers  ;D

[gwynnethmary]

sorted out the bed at the front of the house- sounds complex but just meant moving the polyanthas and popping in some lovely garden compost and some busy lizzies.  Had a good afternoon at the lottie in the glorious sunshine, trying to find ways to stop things eating the cabbages- ended up with (organic) slug pellets, much to my dismay but needs must, and flags on sticks using orange Sainsbury's carrier bags.  We WILL have cabbages!

Watered the back and front gardens this morning in my PJ's before the sun came over the oak trees.
Topped up the garden pond this afternoon.
Started off some elderflower champagne, more water. ;)
Watered both my plots this evening.
Watered a neighbour's plot as he is/was on holiday this week, only to see him walking up the ride when I'd finished  ::)

PS.........plus I had a bath this morning  ;D

[macmac]

Did me back on Tues so the OH put me on house arrest  :(

[chriscross1966]

Planted out beetroot and sowed trays of mostly squashes and associated cucurbits  this morning, planted out more beans this evening..

Finished digging the 4th bed after 3 days non stop and it was hot and horrid, I then informed the wife I was moving the fruit patch to the bottom of the garden and so it needed digging up too and a fruit cage purchasing, went down like a lead ballon.

[Ninnyscrops.]

Weeded and watered. Sowed some White Detroit beetroot and Snowball turnips, more Selma fennel and Meteor peas.

Erm, hubby had a lovely glass of Pimms at the ready when I got back from the plot. Our daughter had picked "mint" leaves which turned out to be sage leaves  ::)   tasted OK though   :P

Went to water plots and salivated over the strawberry I knew was waiting for me.......but some creature had beaten me to it >:(  Strawberry patch now tightly netted and I'm ever hopeful once more. ;D
