Allotments 4 All

Cut down three trees(small ones) planted snowdrops, celendines, grape hyacinths, sweet peas, solomans seal and foxgroves. Pricked out chillies and dwarf tomatoes. Set up canes for the tomatoes in the greenhouse...........good day's work, and i got the washing dry!

planted yet more spuds  8) had been given 10 tubers free of Sofia, 2nd earlies, sowed some cucumbers, kohl rabi and radishes, potted on some chillies, picked the first rhubarb, trod on a mouse and killed it  :'( don't ask how I did that, weird, enjoyed the blossom on the damson and one of the plums, hoe'd here and there, pruned the pear trees and noted the broad beans are poking through, buried the mouse  :-[

Watered seedlings and fruits.   ;D ;D ;D

We watched the blasted wild ducks swimming where we needed to plant!!

Enough rain already, we are under water.

Keep on pposting you guys, I envy you all so much.

Got the bed ready for the spring sown broad beans and at last I mowed the grass while Tony put some supports up my willow arch. Will post a pic when it gets into shape.

Started cleaning up my crevice garden (yesterday) morning and planting out some alpines.
In afternoon went to plot and finally got in last of the potatoes-Anya. Cleaned out the chickens and let them do a spot of scrating they love that :)

Dug out the last of the mobile scorzonera... and today the parsnips so we can get the last of the spuds in too...  :)

The clocks are still an hour out on the forum Jeannine so it was 5 o clock, I'm leaving for work by 5.45 each day.  :o
I have just come back from the lottie and filled a hold up pallet thingy with a mixture of council compost and dalek compost and watered well, it was too hot so we came back after an hour
I potted up 8 aubergines and left my sweetcorn and cucs to bask in the Sunshine.   8)

You can up date the time on your profile :)
I only know as I go on another forum and it's a topic on there :-X

Ray earthed spuds up on plot 2, we both weeded, planted out some oriental greens and took the cloche off the spuds in the hot bed, trimmed some dead bits off trees, found some flowers on the alpine strawberries  ;D

Dead-headed 500+ daffodils,  pressure washed the patio, & did some serious work on my suntan!

planted spuds, made some more in roads into the bindweed patch & then sat on my arse on a sunlounger while the little one was napping.

Filled my pallet hold up thingy with council and dalek compost, then went home as it was too hot     8)
Potted on 8 Aubergines
Sowed some more sweetcorn (22 up so far)
