Tidied and weeded the front borders and planted bulbs. As the light was going I just soaked the ground and hope the local cats don't treat the borders as their newly built loo before I put the mahonia cuttings over the soil ::)

Just gazed longingly at the garden and thought about the plot. Hatching some lurgy here and got no energy. :(

Tied the new shoots of the thornless blackeberry in now that the chrysanths are up. Put them too near this year. Tone went to the dump with 20 bags of rubbish. planted some bulbs and sweet william under the remaining 2 fruit trees. Came home and planted my chitted sweet peas in their pots. All the broad beans are up and ready to go into the ground next week. Sowed them at home to stop the mice gettin em.

Had a really good day after being back from working away, planted two gossegogs and a redberrie also three rhubarb plants, picked the best sweetcorn today which was 'F1 Conqueror' from Thompson and Morgans really good big cobs but a late variety, :)

shirlton · « **Reply #2933 on:** October 17, 2009, 17:33:15 »

Planted out the broad beans that I had grown in pots( to save the mice eating them).Put the grease bands on the apple trees. Tones going to do it next year. I hate sticky hands and I coudn't get rid of the stuff. Picked a big bunch of chrysanths for me Mom. She is 87 tomorrow.

Shirley Wish Mum a Happy Birthday tomorrow from me. I remember that lovely photo of her enjoying a visit to your allotment. How is she? (sorry to go off thread)

lorna · « **Reply #2935 on:** October 17, 2009, 17:55:22 »

Picked the last of the Gardeners delight, had a bit of a tidy up and have sown some of Shirl's sweet peas in John Innis. Like Emaggie still suffering from the remains of the dreaded lurgy.

tonybloke · « **Reply #2936 on:** October 18, 2009, 10:15:02 »

cleared the last of the tomatoes from the greenhouse. :(

cornykev · « **Reply #2937 on:** October 18, 2009, 15:27:09 »

Cultivated some new ground and transplanted some Strawberry runners in it.
Cleared brassica leaves under the plants.
Dug and filled 5 squash pits for next year.
Harvested 1 red cabbage.
Watered.
;D ;D ;D

Corny,
Did you ever get a good crop of Sweetcorn?, I've just started to pull my F1 Conqueror(Thompson&Morgan) best Sweetcorn I have ever had big full juicy cobs, it might be late in the year but worth waiting for, :)

caroline7758 · « **Reply #2939 on:** October 18, 2009, 16:32:49 »

Gave up on my sweetcorn and pulled them up today- had a total of five cobs.Mind you, when I dug over the patch after pulling them up it was so dry, maybe that was the reason (as well as late planting). On the positive side, still picking raspberries and dug up a huge parsnip. Just wish the weeds and grass would stop growing!
