Allotments 4 All

Laid down 20 tyres and planted 40 pink fir apple spuds. Planted all my earlies, resited my strawberries, planted 2 blueberries and made 1 raised bed. I then watered all the plot.

Nothing yet, I was waiting for it to get light!!  ;D

I planted out all my lettuce Mixed leaf , Iceburg,cos,sladin and lollo rosso my salad bed looks great i have raddish spring onions and two diiferent beetroots  >:( its a shame i will have no toms to go with them and cucs will be ages yet  :)
well that gives me the excuse to sow and and buy more seeds  ;D ;D

Dug a new bed in an area that's been covered in old carpet for a year and planted my maincrop Romano potatoes in it. Planted out some beetroot and marigold seedlings grown in modules, put netting around french beans to protect from possible frost, harvested some butterhead lettuce and asparagus, admired my new fruit cage, turned the compost heap, tidied the shed, hoed and weeded, straightened some edges, watered.  Had too many cups of tea. All the while, listened on my ipod to Dylan, Bach, Beethoven and Rossini. Lovely!

 Ower Tone strengthened all the posts holding the raspberries, blackberries and Tayberries. I planted out all my dahlia tubers and mowed the paths again

I got very bad sunburn!  :-[

Played tea parties in between giving the Daphne and Forsythia a tickle ;D

weeded and demossed a small patch of lawn (not that i  fastidious about the lawn but this little area looked so sad in comparison to the rest it had to be done)

sowed seeds of Kohl rabi, chinese cabbage, lettuce calabrese and PSB. pricked out lemon grass seedlings and shuffled things around the greenhouse to make more space ::). i think i did a couple more things but my greenhouse fried brain can't think of what they were at this time ;).

i put in more yes more tatty's

the tattys are taking over
but at least i get to use the rest of my lotty . its so mahosive

We found it was too hot yesterday so decided half way through digging to go to Llandudno instead  ;D  had a lovely day but we've got a lot of work to do this evening now lol

I planted out more geraniums and lobellia along with some more Nasturtians in the long bed next to my front path will have to sort some photos as I'm proud at what Ive accomplished with the front garden need to sort out a subscription out 

At long last we have our water turned on,  watered my carrots, beetroots and leeks, filled up one of my water butts so I'm a happy lottyman, :)

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

OOOOH FROGGY! My two favourite things to do in the whole wide world :D

Today I have strimmed and strimmed and strimmed. Helped out a mate I share one of the allotments with and strimmed under the fruit trees - inadvertantly strimmed all the wildflower seedlings she'd carefully planted under them. WELL SHE COULD HAVE TOOOOOLD ME!

Started a horseradish patch ... mmmmmmmm  :)

we watered the peas, turnips and kohl rabi seedlings, planted more tomatoes and peppers, Ray put up the canes and sank the pipes next to them..moved more plants around for the plant sale, transplanted more plants for the plant sale..looks like it might rain, now  ;D

 :-\ cut the lawns today

Be careful with the horseradish patch or it may became an allotment patch.  My next allotment holder and me and another one are trying to get rid of it.

Bit like Mint then  ;D ;D

Did make horseradish sauce once, but as we don't eat it that often, buy a jar.  I don't believe it, but my mint seems to have disappeared this year, or it is not up yet.  Mint is good cause I use it a lot.

 :) :)

Mint Is super (you killed it how )  I love it in new potatoes Super stuff And easy to grow  :) and control too !!

I have sown more carrot seeds after my trial and ERROR discovery yesterday !!!
Thanks Palustris.

Also planted more sunflower seeds in pots as 'back up' plants for the kids at the nursery school I work in as the ones they have sown are not looking so good, but we are gonna plant them out anyway. When mine are ready I will sneak them in !! Shhhh!
