Look forward to seeing pictures.

I have been out and about all weekend.... but today, last day off, am going to spend in garden catching up with some planting and have some more sweet peas to put in. Then I think will just sit out and enjoy the sunshine with a cold drink (non-alcoholic .... Friday is still a blur)

Hope everyone is having good weather and enjoying garden/allotment :)

sowed parsnips and carrots, earthed up & watered the spuds ( some got flowers on) and harvested more asparagus

Today I planted up hanging baskets, sowed second batch of sweet peas and some cornflowers.

Put in some peas, hope its not too late !

Re-sowed some sunflower seeds as someone/something has been scoffing them.

Husband who is still playing head greenkeeper put some feed and weed on the lawn.

Then sat and enjoyed the sunshine...... back to work tomorrow :(

Not a lot done today as I am still at work.
Yesterday I managed to pot up 135 nasturtiums, 48 AYR cabbage and a dozen or so caulis. Also got to pot up more nigella's, about 100, and also done my Hosta into a large pot ready for the big display which has begun in this new pot of which I think will be the last move before splitting.
Kochia's are now into their second stage before planting out as are the sunflowers. God only knows where I am going to put them all.
We have a nice show of Alyssum Saxtile in the back now as I put them in last season and they really are going to show me up.
Oh well back to work as I have to go out again.
Catch up with you all another day.

Angel you have given me a brilliant idea. My husband doesn't know it yet, but has now been promoted to 'head green keeper', I'm sure having a title will encourage him much! ;)

Yesterday we admired all the dandylions and daisys on front and back lawns. Checked the rat bait, which isn't going down any more (think it's done the job). Had no choice because they were under the shed very close to the wooden aviary and wouldn't want them getting in there!!!

Also plenty watering, earthed up my 4 homeguard spuds and planted out butternut squashes (12) into a raised bed.

Managed to get carrots, cabbages, courgettes in :)

my cucumber died and it looks like my fennel seeds got lost somewhere in the wilderness :-\

Have weeded and netted up gooseberries and strawberries, and have earthed up the potatoes again..

;D

Dealt with a swarm which moved into an empty hive this morning. Did a bit of digging, potted up the Daubenton Kale Goodlife sent, and spread some grass cuttings. We had a few drops of rain, and it's a lot cooler.

landimad · « **Reply #4932 on:** May 06, 2011, 06:34:22 »

Did not do a lot due to making some forms for a new fence which shall be going in when the neighbours go away on their hols. Tried to reason with them about a new fence, but they want to keep it the same as they have already. Not a chance of that as we maintain the fence line so I shall do what I think will last longer. :-X
Watered plenty and planted out Toms, checked on a few tender plants to make sure they are ok. ;)
Got more trays ready to pot on more seedlings. :-X

Started tying in all the new growth on the tayberries and black berries that will fruit next year.Saves getting them all jumbled up at the end of the season.
Tony did our first 3 small raised beds on a spare piece of ground and we started our first nettle brew of the year.Oh and planted two cobaea to climb up one of me wilkie arches.
Still watering here in Brum. Had 2 spots yesterday ;D

Got myself out of my sickbed after 10 days of inertia in order to vote, and crossed road to my local allotment to find devastating frost damage. All the potatoes on the site are withered, mine being better than most because of my big apple tree protecting them. Watered a bit, helped by son and his wife. All squashes OK because of fleece, but beans dead. Went back to bed.

shirlton · « **Reply #4935 on:** May 06, 2011, 08:32:35 »

Oh dear. I am sorry. I hope that you soon feel well again.

manicscousers · « **Reply #4936 on:** May 06, 2011, 15:55:14 »

planted out some dwarf french beans and a courgette, planted some more peppers , roma tomatoes and a couple of melons in the poly border, planted some calabrese and cauli in Callum's bed, planted some lollo rosso in spaces I found ;D
Ray planted out the 'colossus peas around 2 wigwams,
watered everything that needed it, the rain last night never got below 1" :-\
