Mortality

Planted out the 5 Broad Bean plants, covered em with cut plastic milkbottles, hopefully to protect from mice and slugs. Just as well I did Hail stones just started...

The radishes arnt growing out there yet.

Sowed some carrot seeds indoors in toilet rolls.
Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

Tipped my home compost into the daleks with a drop of wee
Planted two rocket spuds into toy tubs
Checked the covered area for the Spud challenge
Washed some pots at home
Transplanted two tommies into pots.

Moved the mini greenhouse to sunnier side of garden.  Filled a polypot with a little compost ready for potato planting tomorrow.

Indoors - potted up chilli and tomato plants.  Sow spinach and herbs.

Everything is still frozen, so nothing !   I kinda tidied the greenhouse, still need to wash pots and get the jeyes out and give it a proper clean.  Everyone seems to be busy........ I havent sown anything  :-\

Robert_Brenchley

I'm not sowing anything yet. If I did, stuff would be getting too big before I was ready to plant it out. There's no hurry, next month is soon enough. Remember you're not supposed to plant in the open ground until you can sit on it comfortably with your bare bum.

Thats the bit I look forward to most Robert. :P :P :P

  Looking forward to sitting on it with your bare bum ??  oh my!!

Nothing! waaah! I wanted to plant out the onion sets and dig in some green manure today, but woke up to 6" of snow. So I will restrict myself to making newspaper pots and watching my potatoes chitting.

Sowed a few cauli and cabbage. I won't be doing anymore for a while now.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

I will let you do testing RB if I may please as it might give some of the other plot holders a heart attack if I did some mooning on my lottie.  One man is 90 plus.
I am only 2-3 miles down the road from you so timing should be o.k.  I will pass your tip onto the others.

Cleaned the shed and greenhouse had a tidy up down the plot finally managed to plant the rhubarb. Currently collecting toilet rolls for my parsnips first time of trying this method. Put in another raised bed on my friends half of the plot for her. Put some weed supresent on the paths and covered with wood chip. I haven't sown anything yet waiting for seeds to come in the post should be here in a next couple of days Yippee

Screwed a padlock on the shed door...had good intentions but it was freezing up North..snowed as well.

Not a lot outside in the snow and sleet so I went to aldi and bought 2 apple trees. Indoors pot up some more chillis and peppers.   Roll on spring!  ::)

Ninnyscrops.

Planted spinach, kale and cabbage plants in the greenhouse (the ones I'd neglected to put up at the plot before Christmas that were covered in snow on the garden table below  ::)) - nothing ventured nothing gained and didn't want to consign them to the compost heap. Hopefully I'll be able to harvest them before the toms go in. Sowed some Greyhound cabbage seed and potted on onion seedlings. Cerinthe Blue Kiwi sowed in the heated prop.
