Planted up the rest of "our" toms in the greenhouses... peppers and Aubergines next... (yesterday) I'm not able to garden in the dark... not like Thifasmom!!  ;D

I planted out one side of my runner beans waiting for the others as they havent germinated yet growing two different varieties and don't want them to come at the same time

weeded, watered..tied in the toms and pinched out, one had grown a huge sideshoot, pinched it out and planted it for a spare..Ray covered my onion seed bed with chicken wire, the wild plot cat(who keeps down the mice and rats) has been digging in it. put out all the seedlings on my shelves so they will be watered while I'm in filey.. picked lettuce, red mustard, radish and some onions that were going to seed, nice salad for tea  ;D

planted out the caulis, cabbages, romenesco, and some of the psb and kale, and of course netted the lot.

Netted summer fruiting raspberries. Planted out squashes under cloches. Sowed some spinach. Weeded and watered. Slaughtered some slugs and snails. Cleaned the pond filter.

Had a look at the lotty this morning after yesterdays rain, I do enjoy looking at an allotment after rain because everything is erect and upright my leeks are certainly standing proud, :)

planted out some of my runner beans, and transplanted a cucumber into the greenhouse @ the plot. ;)
You couldn't make it up!

thifasmom

planted out all my squash, pumpkin and courgettes, hope they do well as the wind has been 40+ today but has died down now for the night. they simply could not stay in the pots any longer. also attempted o make a mini greenhouse for the sweetpeppers and aubergines but the wind showed me it need tweaking :-\.

Didn't get out until 3pm having been to Squash's open day....
lifted the fleece on the carrot/parsnip rows... weeded out about 3,000 Poppies (somniferum) murdered some slugs. Put some more sweetcorn in modules, sowed more lettuce, transplanted another 44 Kohl Rabi, generally nantled.. took OH coffee while she prepared the brassica beds on 118/119... finally got rained off..  :)

Sparkly

Put in a row of summer cabbages and started filling out the flower bed.  ;D

Ninnyscrops.

Planted runner beans, two blocks of sweetcorn and a couple of artichoke plants. Weeded in between shallots, garlic and winter onions.

Potted on some tommies and went to the lottie and braved the winds  :o  pulled up brassicas and planted my left over spuds in bags.  ;D ;D ;D

Actually got around to doing a few bits in the rain, still not feeling 100% :-\
Planted out the angelica and pink flowered strawberries purchased from Squash's plant sale yesterday, and put to use the environmesh mini tunnel to cover the caulis and carrots...dodged a few showers, took the cloches off the dwarf french beans so they got watered and that was it really! Pathetic..... ::)
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

The backstroke.....been torrential!!! We put up a wee gazebo thing and cut timber to make/put up frames for mesh...put on/cut/fitted mesh. Planted out Romansco...iceberg lettuce and more chinese cabbage. Sowed carrots in containers. Sowed more perpetual spinach from a different source as only 3 plants from another sowing...sowed Mipoona...Red Osaka...Chard (couldn't find it before...in my garden jacket pocket with a bag of humbugs, so well impressed. Ate humbugs in greenhouse and looked at Noah blokes blueprints for Arks in case the rain didn't stop...read Joy Larking when it did.

planted out the chinese leaves, would have done more but was afraid the wind might have snapped them in two while i plated them out. maybe I'll get them in tomorrow

tonybloke

sowed my 1st batch of sweetcorn, harvested some asparagus and some blanched rhubarb (crumble with double creammmmmm)  ;)
