Allotments 4 All

Sowed all the cucurbits; squash, marrow,pumpkin, courgettes and then Sunflowers, 8 types, for the sale...  :)

Raining here today in Enfield, went shopping and popped in the £1 shop and bought a few more packets of seeds.  Went to Morrisons and bought a few plants for hanging basket.  Hopefully the rain today and the sun we may get on Saturday/Sunday will get things moving on the allotment.

Loads of potting up for the sale, kept me out until dark... put the leaf beet in, general weeding...  :)

Sounds as if you've had a good day SD.

Same as Saddad here, loads of potting up. 

took delivery of bedding plants for the sale(can't grow lobelia, begonia and busy lizzie, hands don't work), by the time we'd watered all the baskets and plants, had our lunch at 2.45 and came home, worn out  ;D

Nothing, I've been at a beekeepers' get-together.

Ok to do this in pictures?


Today I spent another 10hrs at my allotment and...

Planted some lettuce....



Two more rows of spuds...



Made a hotbed for my courgettes...



(I know it needs digging agian)

and sowed a few seeds....

Nothing- did a 12-mile charity walk. Just hope the aches and pains are gone tomorrow so I can get down to the plot on the last day of my week off.

i love looking at pictures of other peolpe's allotments i'll have to work out how to post mine :)

Did some weeding and a general tidy up one of my lotty neighbours turned up and said I could help myself to his parsnips and leeks, Lubbly, :)

 ;D

Turned the compost yesterday. It all looks crumbly and like a christmas cake mix at the bottom so I mixed it all up and put it all back, it will be gorgeous in a few weeks! How sad am I... :-[

tied in the sweet peas, made up a couple of hanging baskets, planted more fielderkraut cabbage, creamy romanesco and fillbasket sprout, red cap and kalibos cabbage..watered everything that needed it, Ray put the debris netting over the cabbage bed..found 2 CABBAGE WHITES today  :o ;D

lots of watering and talking to other plotters..planted more sprouts" wellington "....sown red cabbage in cold frame.

Built the shed and painted it dark brown - for that been here for years, aged look ;D

Organised our first plant and seed swap - sort of worked but I now have a tray full of seed packets - more than we started with ??? ???

Did a bit of weeding and launched chemical warfare on the bindweed that overwhelmed the strawberry bed last year.........but disaster struck when the seam on the sprayer bottle split and roundup went everywhere, fortunately I was in the area I wanted to spray, so I picked up the bottle and sprayed from the seam, but I wouldn't recommend it! ::)

Planted two lines of Ratte and sowed half a line of Sprouts.  ;D ;D ;D

I was tied up at church most of the day, but I managed to barrow a few loads of grass cuttings tonight.

Not a thing,went to a plant fair at Chatsworth house in Derby,on the way home had fish n chips in Matlock Bath.

Planted out some leeks, french beans and beetroot grown in modules.  Mowed my own and my neighbour's plot.  Caught the sun.

tidied up the strawberries need to feed them tomorrow as they are already in bud and even some flowers. also mowed the lawn and turned the rabbit droppings and sawdust compost heap.
