Allotments 4 All

OH sowed some stuff, but I spent the day locked in Betty's shed with the scarecrow...  :-X

Had you been a naughty boy? been buying seeds?   ;D

No NSALG training day at Walsall Road in Birmingham with Squash (Betty)...  :)

Its been a day of cleaning up 2 fences down, and a small wall. Shed roof has a leak but waether so bad  3rd night very high winds, and heavy rain fingers crossed no more damage in the morning

Compost heap repairs,topping up raised bed,general tidy up still to wet to finish digging  :'(

Fences worse for wear here too.  Storm was fierce over night.  DH did a temporary repair to a fencecpost that had snapped and nailed loose panels back into place.  

I did a bit of harvesting, digging and general tidying.  Watered tiny rocket plants in the greenhouse.  Still very windy here.  One broken pane in the greenhouse fixed with gaffertape  ;D inside and out.

Today was my first gardening day of the season (hoorah ;D)
Did some general tidying & deadheading although not too much tidying as I noticed lots of ladybirds nestled deep under leaves so didn't want to disturb them
Had layered my thornless blackberry bush last season, so severed and potted up 7 new plants from it (YIPPEE  ;D )
Potted up my 3 raspberry canes
collected some dry seed heads I'd missed from a hanging basket
Put my seed potatoes into trays to chit
What a fab day ;D

Can I put a photo on?

Sowed some chilli, aubergine and sweet pepper seeds in my propergator at home... I know its a little early but couldn't help myself ;)
Also some sweet basil for the kitchen window sill. ;D

Collected the panes and door that had blown out of my greenhouse and searched for my plastic bell cloches.   Decided not to go to lottie to see if my shed roof is still on.

stared in amazement in the garden today as almost overnight there are now hundreds of snowdrops, crocuses and pushkinias out in bloom - that's what happens when you don't venture out for a day or so  ;D

Picking some kale..pottering about in GH, planted few strawberry plants in containers...not much, but as weather is so windy it is not fun to be outside neither ::)

Freecycled the remains of my rubbish Ebay polytunnel!

Took my home compost to the lottie and daleked, and layed some cardboard on weedish ground.    ;D ;D ;D

Digging  :) I have got half an allotment left to dig. This is my favourite time of year, before the weeds wake up. Also dug up a few parsnips, I seem to have too many again.

Nothing here weather to bad supposed to be a bit brighter middle of the week got lots to repair  wall, greenhouse, and shed roof all taken a bit of a battering

Played find the gooseberry bush :) the gooseberry bushes played scratch Sarah :'(

Currents next  :)

got ready to go to the lottie, but  it started to p%^s down so didnt go

so glad i got into the garden yesterday because today has been a total washout.
Rain all day
Midweek is meant to pick up tho  :)

Tried to refix tthe polycarb panes back in greenhouse.  Gave up as the winds were a bit high.  Was absolutely delighted with the snowdrops coming up that Ihad forgotten about.
