Topic: What do you plan for Easter?

[glosterwomble]

I had a quick look on metcheck and I'm afraid the weather doesn't look promising for the Easter weekend. However, ever the optimist I'm planning a bumper weekend at the allotment.

Potatoes, Onion sets (red and white), Carrots, Parsnips all to be sown or planted and hopefully some more beds of our new plot next door dug over and got ready. Oh yeah, I also want to put the bean trench in and poles up ready for the runners when the time comes...  ;D

[Sparkly]

Over the school easter holsI am planning to finish clearing the area for the greenhouse and get it up. Also to finish clearing the main planting area and dig all the potato trenches!

[Jeannine]

A lot of lottie work, a rest from school, a few meals that take longer to cook and a trip or two to Bridlington for fresh caught crab....and maybe I will pop over to Holland to see the Grandbaby.

Some house decorating, some seed sowing, re do the back garden, pave the front,pressure wash the house outside, finish the quilt I hoped to have ready for Easter,demolish the old shed, build three nore raised beds....


Oh eck, I think I would do better to stay at work

I've got a whole week off and no money to go away, so i'm really hoping we get some decent weather to have a concerted go at the allotment and garden. Fingers crossed! :D

[manicscousers]

I sold a caravan on Ebay (eventually!) it took 3 auctions because people would try to outbid each other until it had reached stupid money and then back out of the sale  >:( hope you don't have any probs and enjoy Flamingo land (never heard of it?)

[posie]

Well depending on weather (isn't it always) I'd like to get my 1st early spuds in and my early nantes carrots, then finish digging rest of the beds over and lay the last of the paths and then start digging my fruit beds.  On top of that I also need to write 3 essays and a research project! Oh and revise for 2 exams.

[glosterwomble]

crikey, I thought we had lots planned but looking at what others are doing we're taking it easy!!  ;D

[froglets]

Planting early spuds, sowing a few speculative cabbages & beetroot, digging over the rest of the beds, sowing beans and stuff, whatever takes my fancy in pots to be kept in the sheltered corner for a month or so, painting the bathroom walls & ceiling, spec'ing a kitchen, serious cleaning, digging a tiny wildlife pond, changing the car tyres and updating my family history data.

Alternatively, sleeping in, drinking wine and reading books!

Just going away in ours about 15 miles. Enough so we can just chill and shakedown our new one.

I'm going to be racing around the infamous Nürburgring. It's my 3rd time, but I promise I will be careful  :)

I'll leave the webcam image on this page, it updates every minute...you never know, you might see me!


I'll be in this



Wish me luck!...well, more luck than the above :)

mmmmm might be busy over Easter weekend, so it's this weekend that I will be doing things!!! Getting in some more manure, planting the early spuds and setting up my polytunnel to sow the first seeds (early carrot, beet and radishes and maybe some peas if I am keen)
But I am having a week off in April for school hols so hopefully I will be able then to make several manure runs, prepare lots of beds and sow lots of the main season stuff!!!

[glosterwomble]

So according to the BBC forecast it looks like I might be shovelling snow for Easter!!!  :o :o :o  ;D

[lorna]

Finishing off the decorating of the hall, then if weather permits gardening. If the weather is bad might as well start decorating the dining room!!

[GrannieAnnie]

After attending a contemporary Easter service with fantastic music I'll be cooking ham and Pineapple Bake for company who I hope won't stay too late  ;D  so I can enjoy sitting on the pond bench looking at the bulbs greeting the Spring.

[froglets]

Wish I'd got my liner for the wildlife pond sorted 'cos it could be filling up with rainwater over the weekend. :-\
