Allotments 4 All

dug up my spuds yum yum

sowed carrots in the rain, planted brassicas in the rain, planted chicories in the rain, planted tomatoes in the rain, harvested peas in the rain, singing in the rain  ;D

All my plans for today have gone out of the window.
Really raining heavy here now and have been out in it at work all day

Just had a look which part of the country you both are....... nice day here although a little overcast at the moment. Better go and pick the strawberries in case the rain is on its way :)

took pictures in between the rain, tied in tomatoes and pinched out sideshoots, we all worked out where the chicken shed is going to go if we get permisson, generally got wet  ;D

Nothing but the weekend starts soon...  :)

i have so much to do in my front garden have set all the railway sleepers in place as to have threetiers because there is a nasty slope and cutting the grass wasnt very clever
i have about ten ton of top soil comming to put in then the good bit planting  :D :D :D :D

Tied up sweetcorn and watered.  ;D ;D ;D

picked the first of the runner beans!

Felt a bit better about my strawberries as I found five hiding under some leaves, including one really big one! But worried about my french beans and sweetcoen which are very yellow and very small, despite feeding.

i have fettled my earlies and second have pots on both but no flowers have flowers on my peas and flowers on my squash its all comming together
wont be long and i can have a whole dinner from the garden without from the shops aprt for the meat that is

cant wait

Picked a bag full of peas for the roast dinner today.

What a happy person you are!!!  The sort of person we need here  :D  Keep on the good work  ;D

dug up some kestrel spuds, 10lb from 4 plants, some whoppers, too  ;D

Picked some cherry tomatoes - Sungold and Supersweet.

Picked all the 'Mangetout' - sorted into what could be cooked and what needed podding and frozen as 'petit pois'.

Composted all the lettuce - bolted in the heat.

Too many 'mangetout' to pick the green beans - do that tomorrow for the freezer - some are nearly 8" (20cm) long.  Not quite 'yard long beans' but I'm impressed !

Then home for a long cool drink (or two) - 30°C here today !

Rain promised for Wednesday.

Cleared more of the brambles and harvested some rhubarb.
Had a coffee and sandwich in the shed

planted the sweetpeas my mum gave me in a pot out front, just got to hope the slugs dont dine on em, lil grrrrr.... oh and dreampt about the lotty...what id be doing if it wasnt too hot to take the kids....got quite a lot done in imagination land  ;D

we had a bit of room in a bed, Tony had some spare gardener's delight tomatoes,a bit tatty and pot bound, took off the side-shoots and buried them deep, may as well try  ;D
trying hard not to have any empty ground this year, either green manure or crops in  :)

stopped my kids my kids eating every thing that is remotely ready :) my five year old was eating raw broccoli and cauliflower  :o and keeps complaning that we don't have enough sprout plants  ::)

Harvested spuds, raspberrys, peas, broadies, lettuces and radishes. Dug out most of the broadies and thinned and transplanted cabbages.  ;D ;D ;D
