Got my remaining maincrop potatoes in the area of rough clay that is the new potato bed....OH spent ages digging it over, tried the Mantis on it but it was just skipping over the hard lumpy clay soil so we just added some claybreaker granules and bashed it as small as possible with forks....and then went to work for the night! ;D

Nothing until late on when I went down and dug all Deb's spuds out and back filled the trench...  ;D
Just kidding....  :-*

Now I have arms like iron bars.. ;D..

lovely job Davyw1!
I put in a few more potatoes and dug over the carrot/parsnip bed (again!) to try and break it down a bit more.  Chatted to neighbour over the fence- he gave me some trumpet shaped thingies to plant parsnips in- should I bother?  I like the idea of stuff having contact with the soil!

Sowed Cornflower Seeds, Autumn Forest (Rudbeckia Hirta), Sunflowers and some more Sweet Peas.

Planted out seedlings, Golden Sweet and Purple Podded peas, Leeks, Painted Mountain Corn and Butternut Squash.

Re-planted Radishes that my youngest pulled out again.  ::)

Watered liberally.

Sowed some more sweetcorn today, I have 6 showing their heads from Saturdays sowing.   :o     ???        ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

sowed dwarf french beans, lemon, spice, purple and green basil, plus, transplanted some butternuts and a couple of yellow pattypan squash  ;D

Davy 1:  I'm so impressed with your structure! drool, drool, drool.

I've been planting out tomatoes and have to cover and uncover them every night.
Planted eggplants in the coldframe where they aren't  bothered by flea beetles.

Found the Lupines which I thought had all died had actually reseeded themselves- so pleased! ;D

did a bit of reorganising in the garden at home- too busy to drive over to the lottie today.  Took tomato seedlings to Open Doors at church and potted them on whilst chatting to friends.

Rebuilt collapsed last year's climbing bean support (great big cat's cradle, not admired by a passing traditionalist). Planted out 9 lettuce and 30 parsley seedlings, and covered with fleece because we are due to go down to 1 degree soon.

Worried about squash/bean seedlings put outside in their pots to breath the air and feel the sun, which need to come in in 10 minutes......

Finally managed to get my earlies in dead p******D of with building still cant complain my old tunnel lasted 20 year made from what i had at hand at the time.

Finished off the left front border, wild onion will be back though as I didn't get all the little gremlins out, planted cerinth, sowed some borage, godetia and night scented stock.

Hubby bought me a ragwort fork for Christmas and I thought what on earth do I do with that  ::), but a handy tool for getting out nasty weeds in between the roses without too much root disturbance  :)

Ninny

Finally got my spuds in- only 2 rows of Rocket this year due to smaller plot, so that was quite easy! Also 3 rows of red onions ina bed which I thought I'd cleared but turned out to still have loads of couch roots in. >:( Going back this afternoon to pick the forced rhubarb I forgot about this morning.

Watered the greenhouses... carrots up in the raised bed... radish and parsnips poking through...  :)

Hi Y'All

Watered eveything, my soil is like concrete when the sun shines.  Got carrots coming under cover, rocket and salad crops in raised bed, and the last of my calabrese to harvest over the weekend. 

Planted last of shallots.  I threw out my dummy digging my flower plot, which I stupidly left uncovered over the Winter, it now has the World Collection of Weeds on it. I just roughly dug it over, and I'm off to get some black membrane to cover it.  Blow it, I'll uncover the last of my carpetted plots, dig out what's there, and chuck in some annuals after I come back from my weeks holliers. That is if I ever get off the ground next week, wonder when the old volcano is going to stop play!
