What I Did Today Archive 2011

[JamesM]

got a few good looking curry recipes and decided to sow some coriander which i wasn't going to bother with this year

[susieq100]

Watered the greenhouse. OH had mowed the lawn so used grass clippings to mold up the single row of potatoes I have in the one raised bed in the garden.

[Florence Fennel]

Potted on my chilli plants and aubergines. They really don't seem to be moving, but there were plenty of roots!

[Germinater]

Potted on tomatoes and harvested potatos and spring onions and ate a few rasPberries also watered for it only to rain 20mins latter

[Snadger]

Sowed some mooli after first cultivating a small area. Fed some spring cabbage to the chooks that appear to have been nibbled by rats?
Did a bit of weeding and watering of odd plants that looked abit dour.

[Snadger]

Covered up some cabbages with wire netting to keep pigeons off. Killed a rat with the air rifle. Serves it right for eating the hearts out of my cabbages!
Watered stuff in greenhouse and odd plants that looked a bit limp outdoors.

Put down rat poison, baited a trap and left for home.

[Florence Fennel]

More watering and a bit more potting on. I meant to furtle and I forgot.

[Newton]

Weeded and rotorvated another grass/weed path. Now ready for planting a row of Brussels Sprouts and calabrese.

Watered and weeded the greenhouse.

[binley100]

Cut some planting holes into the cardboard covering the new lottie and planted out some pumpkins and squashes. Weeded round the fruit patch. Hunted down and destroyed some asparagus beetles. Covered my leeks and onions to stop whatever from eating them........

[bearded bloke]

Planted out runners & potted on some the reserve squash & cucumbers,interestingly found that the cuc' root smells just like the fruit

[rustylady]

Yesterday afternoon sat indoors and watched the rain

[Florence Fennel]

Planted out cauliflowers with gay abandon, all higgledy piggledy again, you'd have been proud of me Snadger and then, bonus, it started to rain and is still drizzling. Just hope it doesn't bring out the slugs.

[Florence Fennel]

Ooh forgot, I furtled and didn't find anything! Lots of foliage, but can't find any spuds.

[Helgalush]

Nothing today but look at the rain and think about all the things I could have been doing outside.

Yesterday however I transplanted my celery (not hopeful) and then I transplanted my sunflower plants back after the fencemen had dug em up for me, also planted heleniums, lavender and nasturtiums.

ETA: oh and I finally did my hanging basket with Tumbling Toms, curly parsley and French marigold.

Tomorrow I am doing my peas!

[Snadger]

Planted some french beans and added the remaining beans in the packet to trhe rows as well. Dug over a small pocket and planted some leeks.
Started weeding my herb bed and the mixed aromas were quite pleasant!

Appear to be on top of most things now on my two plots..............apart from the weeds of course!
