Allotments 4 All

After the manure was delivered last weekend(eight ton) we got stuck right in today spreading a good layer, tomorrow I will be back to finish the job off, :)

Moved some more  strawberries to their new home. Planted some spring bulbs under the fruit trees

Watered and took some dry beans home for seed saving.  ;D ;D ;D

but did you get shot of the corn bits  :D

harvested the last of the sweetcorn, the butternut squashes and some more outdoor tomatoes.

Cleared some ground by removing and composting the sweetcorn, sadly planted too late so no crop.   :-X

Hoe'd weeds.
Transplanted strawberrys.
Harvested 1celeriac and my last sweetcorn.
;D ;D ;D

we took down the runner beans and Ray dug trenches for next years in the next bed, took down some of the sorry looking tomato plants, sowed some of my sweet pea seed from flowerlady, thanks, flo plus some honesty from georgie, thanks, georgie, i will keep them inside to see how they go  ;D

We spent 3 hours clearing some of the plot that I've just taken on! still got masses to do :)
From this:




To this:

cor, Le-y, give yourselves a pat on the back, amazing difference  ;D

Thanks Manic, many hands make light work and all that, managed to rope the parents and grandparents in on a promise of free veg  ;D

and we managed it all with a toddler, newborn and dog in tow  ;D

Wow Le-y did you dig all that by hand? Can you all come down and do a bit on mine?  ;D

Lushy x

Took delivery of some nicely rotted cow's muck, and spent a couple of hours barrowing and shovelling it to where I wanted it! Bliss...... ;D ::)

Nothing, I've told you already its raining.   ;D ;D ;D

Planted some tulip bulbs and wallflowers on the project garden .Dug up some dahlias.. It going to rain here tonight and tomorrow.

Planted the last of the overwintering onions. The next job is to mulch them.

i got mine in too .. and the garlic. What do you mulch them with Robert?

Mine still need to go in... picked some more toms... see "still at it"  ;D

 :) after work picked toms, and red and yellow raspberries, watered mushrooms, have some baby ones now :o watered toms etc/ shades x

Re weeded the bed where the onions are going in, and emptied three barrow loads of my compost from the big bin onto it....lovely stuff! Tried digging the last remaining bit of the last bed, which has so many dandelions and couch roots it takes about half an hour a row......... ::) I'll go back and have another go today!
