I liberated my raspberries from large clumps of grass, watered and mulched them, hope they give me a good crop like last year :-)

watered the greenhouse newbies after work,thats all

the dills pumpkins have shown themselves  ;D no courgettes yet but shouldnt have any problems

sweetcorn isnt great tbh,got about 10 out of nearly 30 so far  :( sowed them in peat pots as i had them spare but had no available modules.

il give it another week and sow more if need be.

sunflowers are all up now,just waiting for the leeks and peas to show to feel content :)

need to transplant the toms in the week,il pass a few on to fellow plot holders.

Popped my tomatoes into their own little pots-note to self-buy a grow bag to warm up in the greenhouse.  We're not growing so many this year  as we were over-run last summer and being away for  five weeks didn't help!

Recovered from migraine by sitting in the shade outside potting on tomato plants for our plant sale in May....

Had another all dayer today.. 9 - 5

Planted last 3 rows spuds.. still got a wide row of PFA to do in a few weeks.

Planted my peas from my drain pipes that I started in the GH.. not too easy to remove - I think my soil was too moist and reckon if it was semi dry it would just pour out easily??

Gave away to to plot neighbour all the broken flags that I had dug up and collected around the plot..

Flagged the side of the shed and tidied up the adjacent storage area..  Also flagged the path to the compost bay.. 2 long fence panels came in really handy for this..

Manured half the last side ready to dig..  Watered the onions, strawbs, garlic and broadies. Also sprinkled wood ash over my onions.

Now I deserve a rest...

Topping up raised beds with compost from the heap. Also found several horsetails on the plot  :'(

Sweet corn is up so sowed the dwarf borlotti and yin yng beans  :)

[Kleftiwallah]

Covered our plum tree to keep Jack Frost away.  The bird table is for corvids, they don't like landing in our little garden.    :D   Cheers,     Tony.

Planted two rows of Rocket spuds. Still can't get my rows anything like as neat as the old chaps but never mind!

[Ninnyscrops.]

Deadheaded some prims, polys and daffs, discovering the odd slug that went into the middle of the lawn for the birds.

Fleeced all the seedlings in the greenhouses and some of the plants outside tonight, plus put on the greenhouse heater.....again, but after all it is only the beginning of April.

Brussels is it that time already??

[antipodes]

Put up some wigwams for the future runner beans, sowed some more lettuce, picked a few radishes and watered the others (lacking rain here).

[green lily]

Drained the water in the big tanks into the poly bins so any rain'll have plenty of room.
Planted out some parsley plants I reckon their roots'll be warmer in the ground than in pots.
Re potted some patio roses i should have done in the winter.
Covered potatoes with 2 layers of fleece as well as the French beans in the poly coz its definitely cold but no rain so far and the beeps maps are getting more and more vague about rain around here.
I wish, I wish...it would rain for 3 days and then the sun come out so I could sow my seeds without using a watering can ::) Wouldn't it be wonderful ;D

FINISHED THE DIGGING!...on plot 1 at least.....thankfully plot 2 is a lot "cleaner" anyway and I won't need most of it until May cos it's tagged for beans, peas and sweetcorn.... so the Broad beans "Express" will be going out soon, followed by the Masterpiece Green Longpods and I've got a load of Telefono (tall) adn Hurst Greenshaft (short but gorgeous) peas to go out soon so need to sort out the frames/twigs for them this weekend and get them in.... starting to think we could do with some rain tho.....
