Hi, Im a newbie, can you tell my wood ash is good on the onions?
Cleaned up the cat toilet lovely job ;D
Had a little bit of a tidy up as the green waste is collected tomorrow some of the beetroot is the size of footballs so i think might be 2 woody to use now. Still no sign of PSB producing although looking very healthy. B.Sprouts are looking really odd some have spouts forming on the trunks but the top 1/2 is full of lush growth and i would swear some of forming heads on top like cabbage?? Leeks and onions also looking good.Well this morning my spanking new propagator (had to take the plunge as still no greenhouse) has turned up along with the £15 of free seeds so i can finally get started on sowing things for the garden. (free seeds were Petunia choir of angels and colour parade mixed f1, Marigolds citrus mixed, Sunflower velvet queen, russian giant and the queen series mixed, Morning Glory mixed and Heavenly blue, Swan gourd & Jim Jam Gourd).My laptop died in a fairly major way last week so i need to see if the husband can recover the data from the hard drive otherwise i need to start again with my seeds database. Going to concentrate on getting some flowering plants started for the garden as i have a few weeks yet before i can clear out one of my veg beds for new plants. And i need to dig over the bed for 3 sisters (area which was going to be for greenhouse. Its been covered for months so am going to ask a friend for some well rotted horse manure to be delivered and dug in next month so its ready for the 3 sisters.Mega excited although its going to be tomorrow before i can hit the gardening books and decide what to plant as Harriet has a pretty nasty cold so no nap today.

One allotment (I have 3) a total mess and am determined to get it back in order.....but it is SO heavy and wet and full of creeping buttercup. Spent several hours yesterday and today and have only dug enough ground to plant 20 potatoes. Plus starting to clear through my gooseberries and blackcurrants - creeping buttercup again, plus some couch grass and convolvulus.I have this vision in my head of the most perfect, clean, raked earth, and refuse to be downhearted. It WILL happen.
