Finally got on to the lotty and sowed my Broad beans and started to net my fruit cage, since Saturday the lotty as dried out and the soil was workable and will be ideal if the weather stays the same till the weekend when my onions and shallots go in :),

Finally got out there to do something.
Sowed some marigolds, nigella,cosmos, cornflower, and KochiaTrichophylla(burning Bush).
Also started with Carrots, chives, beetroot and spring onions under the cloche.
Weeded and cleared the deep beds ready for some veggies.
First cut on the grass at the highest cutting point.
pruned a few shrubs that needed it.
Put up a nest box for years to come as the smell of me will be on the wood.
Finally trimmed the mint pots to encourage new growth.

Went into the greenhouse to sow seeds, but noticed that some of the early daffodils. colchicums and sternbergias looked poorly. tipped them out to check and found that a lot were killed by the severe cold last year. :'( :'( :'(

Lovely sunny day here, but cold- an ideal day for digging! Dug over a big patch with the azada (not as thorough as the fork, but quicker!), spread pelleted chicken manure and some BFB. Was going to plant some onions sets but was put off by the forecast of frost tonight.

More weeding and cultivating
Sorted out saved bean seeds
Shovelled the last of the bonfire ash and give it to the site sec for his compost bin. ;)

had a busy morning - weeded and tidied, planted 1.5kg of Epicure and 1.5 kg of Lady Christl spuds (only 15 kg of 5 more varieties to go ;D), sowed some broad beans, greenhouse is nearly full and takes ages to water now but still managed to sow some coriander and more cabbages - it was lovely down there and so warm after a frosty night

manicscousers · « **Reply #4496 on:** March 08, 2011, 17:20:18 »

weeded between the blackcurrants and fed all the fruit on plot 2, started painting the new beds, took measurements and did the planning ;D
radish and carrots up in the hot bed ;D ;D

cornykev · « **Reply #4497 on:** March 08, 2011, 17:24:52 »

Planted out three lines of Turbo onions. ;D ;D ;D

A spot of digging then harvested lots of rocket and lamb's lettuce from the greenhouse, gave the shallots and garlics a handful of chicken pellets and enjoyed the sunshine. At one stage I wondered about taking my fleece off, but in the end it stayed on.

pumkinlover · « **Reply #4499 on:** March 08, 2011, 18:24:52 »

Sowed most of the seeds, put in my heated propagator.
With the peas and B.beans in conservatory away from mices.
Hurrah feels like I've started! :)
