Third session of digging out a very old strawberry bed, slowly, cos it's riddled with bindweed and I want to try and get most of it out by hand, so its a sort of double digging exercise. Phew!

part 2 of digging a bed full of couch grass.
Not helped by the fact I have a cold and hayfever and asthma together, I was not a pretty sight.

planted the last 150 onions, pleased with that as it isn't a job I like doing very much but the soil is so good this year it made it easy, planted some new raspberries, spread some home made compost, sowed some lettuce and rushed home to watch the cricket ;D

manicscousers · « **Reply #4674 on:** March 26, 2011, 20:00:40 »

planted some lettuce out under demi john cloches, planted some more inside the poly along with some fennel and kohl rabi, transplanted some more herbs and watered my stuff inside, my parsnips are showing ;D

We planted 10 rows of potatoes... Epicure, Red Dukes, Ballydoon and Charlotte... and dug out a load of bindweed from the boundary.. now we have active neighbours we might beat it... as we are both working on it... :)

cornykev · « **Reply #4676 on:** March 26, 2011, 20:58:44 »

having a nice time at home sowing a few more seeds - teasle and lavender for the meadow and cabbages and leeks for the allotments - will be potting on time soon, how time flies :D

Yesterday, I planted the raspberry canes that I bought in France last year.

Today I will be pricking out tomato seedlings into small pots, then I need to sort out my seeds, put the peas into soak and see what else needs sowing.

manicscousers · « **Reply #4679 on:** March 27, 2011, 15:44:35 »

transplanted more tomatoes, sowed calabrese and more lollo lettuce, transplanted grown lollo out under demijohn cloches, found some of the outside earlies are up, under fleece ;D
