What did you do in the garden today?

[landimad]

Yesterday,
Got the rest of my blue piping cut and in the ground, just in case there is a late frost to contend with. Cut the grass, sown some more seed for the garden and weeded the beds a bit before the rain came and spoiled the rest of the day.
Oh well the is always today to look forward to. Now if only this rain would ease and let me get on with things.

Just back from the lotty and there is no chance of getting on to do anything needs at least a week of totally dry weather to even consider doing anything , just glad I have my broad beans coming on in the shed my spuds on top of the wardrobe, :)

[tonybloke]

planted 36 tubers of 'rocket' potatoes, in the ground, and planted  48 runner bean seeds, (24 'white lady', and 24 'black russian') in pots in greenhouse.

Eldest spent the time talking to the girl next door, while sitting on the compost bin, youngest spent it getting filthy and playing with worms.  ::) ;D

Planted out 3 types of Lettuce, Cabbage and 2 types of Carrots (seedlings and seed)

Took 4 bags of spent hops up to the plot, put pea plants in, repaired pea netting, and received a lovely gift of 5 Italian long courgette (and I mean long  ;D) seeds from a fellow allotmenteer. Duly sowed in the greenhouse this evening.

[Emagggie]

Planted spuds and was given a few more autumn raspberries. Distributed tansy to all who would take some. ;D

[landimad]

Well, finally started to put more seeds in.
More salads and dug out the trenches for the spuds.
Also put down some bark chip for the paths as this will be better than the slabs that have been used for another project.
Got the grass cut and weeded some more around those plants that have shown growth.
swept up and put some hoops on the beds for the first time.

[manicscousers]

planted up 6 tomato plants and a burpless cucumber in the poly border with bell jars over, planted loads of living lettuce(99p from lidl)..there were about 50 plants in it  ;D

[grawrc]

Edged, dug over and weeded the parsnip bed and sowed ... wait for it! ... parsnips and radish. Weeded onions, garlic, leeks. It's still incredibly cold here. Peas parsnip are up. So unfortunately is the asparagus so I covered it with mulch and told it to behave.

I re-potted 30 mooli seedlings in greenhouse, sowed some gherkin, la diva and crystal lemon cucumbers and made sure all my other seedlings are doing okay.  My husband made a 16ft X 4ft raised bed for spuds - one of ten eventually - and set it into the ground.

[powerspade]

Down the plot 6.00am this morning, I put in Onion sets that I started of in toilet rollw cut in half - 360 of them also sowed a short row of ATLR lettuce

[gwynnethmary]

spent 6 hours barrowing manure, helping to make edges for paths and planting  potatoes.  I also ate my lunch in the warm sunshine, with coat off, smelling the hyacinths and just looking at our lovely dug beds!

[cornykev]

Re sowed some celeriac
Transplanted some Toms and a cucumber
Cut grass
Took veg peelings to the lottie for the daleks.

mpdjulie, talk to me about mooli.  It's one of my new tries for this year and the packet says sow in late June/July - can I start some now? I much prefer spring sowing.....

[javahart]

Was planning on playing golf but ended up down the lottie with wife and kids!

Sowed carrot seed and herb seeds (parsley, rosemary etc).  Dug in some compost for the beans and erected two wigwam's for the climbers.

Back at HQ all the seeds requiring germination are in the propagator's

French Beans, squash, sweetcorn, pumpkin etc

I'm worn out!

[gaz2000]
