Great! Managed plan A and some of plan B after all!!Originally posted by SusieG View Post
Well, the weather forecast has certainly scuppered my plans for today ....
I was going to fill my car with the tubs and bags of garden 'rubbish' (weeds, big stones, roots etc etc ..) that I've dug out over the past week and have a tip trip. Then it was going to be back to digging and refilling said tubs/bags with more rubbish
....
Plan 'B' then: transplanting some of my chilli seedlings and sowing some more seeds that came with yesterday's GYO mag (May)
Only bit I didn't do was seed sowing .. ran out of time/steam!!
Turned out to be a lovely, sunny afternoon

Evening all. Haven't done much over the past few days. Still have the major lurgies
So on line catching up a bit before I have yet another early night.
Have a good evening everyone

The lurgies really need to do a running jump don't they! Everyone who is ill, get well soon.
Sat in sun today and got sunburn
This happens to me a lot so I should know by now to put hat on or sun cream even this early in year. Frogspawn still intact thankfully. I am crossing fingers.
OH has nearly painted all the wood for raised beds so hope we can get one made soon. Am currently reading about how to crop rotate with 3 beds and getting more confused each book I read. I don't want potatoes so I hope that helps.LOVE growing food to eat in my little town back garden.

My take on crop rotations is simple...........don't sucessionally grow the same crops in the same soil.........which is good really as I have over 120 squares in my SFG......Originally posted by craftymarie View Post

Evening everyone. Really excited. Managed to persuadeOH to make a slight detour(40 miles) on the way home from Coventry to pop into David Austin roses. Finally ordered the roses I have been wanting for the last year. Have 4 royal William 4 warm wishes and 1 red velvet on order as bare root plants. Hopefully arriving next week. I have been drooling over these roses for the last 2 years. Will post pics when the come into flowerDogs have masters, cats have slaves, and horses are just wonderfulComment

Sorry , BB - I turned in (relatively!) early as I had a HM practice run planned in the morning - shame, on two counts (a) that is an excellent starting point and (b) I didn't end up doing the long run anyway.Originally posted by bearded bloke View PostOi Hazel, it's been a while (you don't wanna know) but I got the string tied on, where's this gonna lead you gal ? ...............
I'll have to defer to next weekend, as the run is now tomorrow.....

Thanks BM, I like your simple advice on crop rotation. Better to keep it simple I think. If it's too complicated, I'll never get on with it
Awake early this morning. Meant to be hot today? Seeing as I got sunburn yesterday, better make sure I cover up today. Hope everyone enjoys rest of weekend.LOVE growing food to eat in my little town back garden.

Morning all
Spending the day in the tunnel. Potting on, pricking out and seed sowing. It's going to be fun.
Have a good day everyone.Comment

Looks like another nice day, but I must do a bit of domestic stuff first, before heading off to
Plot again!
Now I'm looking at Plot and wondering where I'm going to plant everything! Somethings do take up a lot of space! But every year it's not the same, and always works out!
Anyone else panicking like me?DottyRComment

More spud planting, seed sowing and general faffing around in the garden today, how nice

I must be on another planet from you lot...no sun here. Grey sky here, looks like it's going to rain.
I spent all day in bed yesterday sleeping. I wernt feeling to good. I feel a lot better today.
I need to start moving things in the bedroom, we have just ordered a new superking size bed. A lot bigger then just a double bed we already have. OH wanted a bigger bed because apparently I take the whole bed up and leave him just a small space to sleep. :/
Have a good day.CarrieComment
