Rearranged the greenhouse as it was quickly becoming a mess. Much tidier now
Sowed 12 Sunflowers, 6 Peppers, and 12 pots of Little Gem Lettuce (3 seeds per pot)
Received my free potato grow bag kit from last months subscription, duly set up in the new space in the greenhouse.Comment

Crikey, is it time for runner beans?!Originally posted by blue411 View Post
Some of the strawberry plants i ordered in January arrived yesterday so I planted them.
(Mara de Bois)
Am expecting more strawberry plants so today I made some final preparations to the strawberry patch - dug some paths on it and mulched them with pine straw (foraged from under some pine trees by the beach.)Comment

Planted the new plum tree at the lottie and began to dig bed 3 where the runner beans will go. This will have the contents of the Bokash buried under it, that is, if the foxes don't dig it up again
Dwarf peas are standing up nicely after being planted out yesterday

Sowed Celeriac, Dill and some ATYR Lettuce. Also more digging on the allotment but not as much as I would have liked, raked the onion bed for planting Sunday. Popped some creeping thymes between the path cracks. Another hot bath and zzzzzzzz!Last edited by VirginVegGrower; 17-03-2011, 12:00 AM.Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein

It uses the same bran but I use it for food recycling in an airtight bin using stuff that can't go in the compost bin. I have had the best beans ever using this in the trench. I am sure there is a thread on here as Googling 'Bokashi' is what led me to this site in the first placeOriginally posted by VirginVegGrower View Post

Interesting! I knew it was a compost accelerator because it said so on the bag. I too use it for compost, once it has been through the hens that is
I love the smell of it - is that normal!?
BTW sowed celeriac, rocket, Lambs Lettuce and ATYR lettuce. OH went digging on the allotment - well somebody needed to stay at home with the chooksLast edited by VirginVegGrower; 17-03-2011, 05:11 PM.Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein
