Tonybloke,
What a Bl,,,y good idea to place a sink under the outside water tap. I will definitely do the same as I have a drain beneath mine. I did not do much in my garden today apart from picking strawberry's and raspberry's.

[Ninnyscrops.]

First pickings of redcurrants and blackcurrants today, about 4lbs of each.
More sweet peas and halved them with my plot neighbour.
Last of the tall peas as the rest will now go to seed and the grape vines will take over.
Sowed Marion and Invitation swede where the shallots were.
Hubby watered, cut the sweet peas and commented on the blackfly on the middle crop of Liberty runner beans (he's getting there  :-*).

Apart from up to my neck in compost, I shall be watering again. :(
At this rate we shall have the water board crying themselves into the reservoirs just to fill them up again.

tied up tomato plants after a long, long walk (six days spent walking Hadrian's Wall- amazing!)

[Jayb]

Cut down blighted potato helms from one bed. Others had all had a copper spray a few days back so they may be ok for a little longer. Seems some toms are affected too, so I've been taking off any spots I can see, not a happy bunny  :(

Sowing lots and lots of seeds, pricking out kale, potting on some plants, hoeing, watering, weeding, picking berries & veg..phew..how long is a piece of string.. ::)

[Le-y]

took the  troops up there to help me reclaim the plot from the weeds!!!

managed to get quite a lot out and ground covered.

prepped the ground for squash to go in, dug up some potatoes, pulled a couple of carrots, rebuilt the chicken run with a roof and had a nice old natter with the fella next door!

blinking lovely day :)

Watered and weeded! Picked a few courgettes and dug up some garlic- some ok, some rotten.

Picked loadsa strawberries, more Rhubarb, some gooseberries, raspberries, peas and mangetout. Oh I love the fruits of my labour!!!

[gwynnethmary]

first time at the lottie in a week (been walking Hadrian's Wall-that's another story!), I was amazed at how much everything had grown.  I weeded the paths, planted more leeks in every available spot, dug up our first potatoes (kestrel), pulled our first turnips and sowed some more, picked strawberries and had a good natter with my lottie partner after her long holiday in Spain and Potugal (she was even more amazed than I was, after almost 6 week's absence!)

[Jeannine]

We pulled up all our two Canadian bought lots of spuds, after a firkle we were not happy with what we found so saw no point in leaving them there.The Charlottes that came from England and grown in pots were beautiful. So I have another bed free LOL

Planting tomorrow XX JEannine

Had a sneek peek at our 2nds potatoes today "Kestrel" 2 weeks early and I'm delighted!!





And not a blighted leaf in sight!!

[smudger28]

Also harvested our first French beans and half a punnet of Raspberries

[Mortality]

Harvested the cabbages because the caterpillars have eaten more of them than I have, at least they left me some tiny hearts.
Harvested my first tomato and the first of the french beans, also harvested a small lettuce.

[caroline7758]

Picked loadsa strawberries, more Rhubarb, some gooseberries, raspberries, peas and mangetout. Oh I love the fruits of my labour!!!

Surprised you are still getting rhubarb- mine's been more or less finished for a couple of weeks now.
