Allotments 4 All

...and thought uh, oh!!

Hmmmm......................Tim I have started my courgettes to early I think.

I nstead of nice short stocky plants they have long stems.They have got their second set of leave.Do you think I should scrap them?

You could put them out under cloches if you've got any, or replant. Metcheck is forecasting temperatures around 50-55 over the next week, which is only the typical April temperature, so don't panic.

Didn't much like the sound of these -

Been out & covered all the Potatoes.

Trouble is, the Beans are not fully hardened off yet , but really need to go out.

Yes I have Beans crawling up my dining room windows.

The weather people said it would be pouring of rain this morning so I took the housework option......yuk.would rather have gone to the lottie.

Not a drop of rain yet,I suppose it will come.

ours are planted out, surrounded with fleece, they were just too big, purple podded, yin yang and cannelloni

it is good to know that the 'wise ones' are just as impatient as the rest of us  ;D

I`m so late this year I hope we have a long Autumn

I only sowed mine in loo rolls yesterday, hopefully they will be ready to go out at the end of May

I follow our site tradition and sow beans on the 1st May.  Has always worked for me just fine.  I would like to harden some more veg off to make room in the greenhouse for the ever growing number of seed trays and pots, but for some reason, I seem to be being very cautious this year.
