Allotments 4 All

in record time planted 160 onions (only approx. 300 to go - almost one for every day should be good  ;D), sowed a packet of dwarf broad beans, sowed some more leeks, dug in the manure on 2 large beds, watered in the greenhouse and rushed home to have coffee in the sun baked garden - phew

Turned the soil with my cultivator and mixed in some dalek compost in, then put up my home made wigwam
Put the pallet hold up thingy onto the pea/bean patch and emptied some soil that I  had in a dustbin into it
;D

Weeded the rockery & mowed the grass

planted a hazel at plot 2, took it ut of the garden where a squirrel had buried a nut  ;D
painted another 1 1/2 beds until my knees and neck gave out  ;D

went shopping for some more seeds,ended up buying more spuds while there

watered my seedlings,dug over the bonfire remains and prepared a few patches ready for flowers

also chopped up some old raised beds,using them as composters

tommorow i need wood stain,nails and a hoe  ;D ;D

so far, transplanted some of my baby moneymaker toms into larger pots, plus 5 burpless cucumbers out of the propagator into their own pots ;D

Got up early, drove to the place I get my manure from and filled my trailer, then caught bus to work cos it goes past the place.... will pick up my van and trailer on the way home.... saves towing the manure for 50 miles just to go to work..... I have a season ticket for the bus...

Serious result yesterday evening.... got a lift back with someone from work that saved me nearly an hour on getting back to the bus so I managed to get it to the plot and manure the rest of plot 2 that didn't get done a week adn a half ago.... thought that was going to be a job for the weekend, now it'll just be a rotavation job....

planted another 3kg of spuds, pentland javelin, planted out some monarda, tarragon and sowed some spring onions and had time to hoe a few areas - daffs out everywhere  :o seems early to me but lovely

Washed clay plant pots this morning.
Allotment  in afternoon and cleaned out the "girls", spread compost onto where spuds going, picked brussels and planted a replacement blueberry.

My first home guard potatoes are up under the cloche in the hot bed  ;D
finished planting up the early potato bed, sowed some more radish and spring onions, we finished off the bed painting , weeded  :)

More digging.

Transplanted the first peas in groups of 3 and put bottle cloches over each group - Carruther's Purple Podded and Pink Blush sprinted away after germination.  More varieties are hardening off to follow soon.  

Cultivated soil and mixed in Dalek compost and put up another wigwam.   ;D

More diggin!

Dug. Checked the bees, which are thriving, with a lot of willow pollen coming in. Put up a new mini greenhouse.

pricked out alpine strawberries,dug over bits of new brassica patch and laid a cross shaped path across it,weeded a bit,sowed more broadbeans in modules as meeces have been nibbling the seedlings in the greenhouse. went back as an after thought and covered all the other seedlings to protect them.
