What I Did Today (Undercover)

[SarzWix]

Opened both doors of P/T, it's like an oven in there already! Discovered my hose running from the water butt has sprung a leak Weeded round the onions and cabbages.

[VirginVegGrower]

Snap...hot hot hot. Peas in gutters are out and they are off to the Lotty.
BANG and my nasturtiums are through. A day of moving stuff out and about I feel.

I sowed more toms, more broadies, some cukes and gherkins. I'm about to skip out and do another two gutters of peas as well. WAHOOEY I feel better.

tidied the greenhouse, i'm so behind with everything this year as I haven't been well, so got really excited that i can see little shoots on everything, fixed my window on my greenhouse as i opened them and the wind pulled one out of its runner!! I forgot how much I love it in the greenhouse when its a nice day

[VirginVegGrower]

Watered! In fact I saturated as it was as dry as dust in both poly and greenhouse, but the former particularly.

[SarzWix]

Watered, with a watering can. Took flippin ages. Worried about water and how long it will last, and whether I should get a new hose before my back objects to carrying the can and whether that would make the water run out faster.

Wondered whether it's safe to move the tomato and chilli plants to the tunnel with fleece yet. Hmmmm. What's everyone else doing?.

Have put my toms into the tunnel under fleece as zero degrees are forecast later this week. Seedlings are also in there under cheapo tunnels from £land.

Keeping mine indoors still, despite wanting stuff out - itchy isn't it. You need a hose

Dying to move mine out too. But the tunnel is at the allotment and I cant be running up and down dealing with fleece. A small greenhouse out the back garden is the last piece in the puzzle. If only I could get round SWIMBO
The tunnel is looking fairly full all of a sudden, starting to worry about room for the toms and peppers now.

[VirginVegGrower]

Watered again. Temp in the tunnel was sweaty Betty moved stuff around. Planted some more beets in the poly.

I planted 7 peas and 6 garlic out in the polytunnel today. I did a lot outside and in the house too but that's all for under cover.

[VirginVegGrower]

I gave the tomatoes and peppers a holiday in the big tent today. They are back in now
Watered AGAIN and guess what..? Spuds are through WAHOO. I was beginning to think I'd made a mistake putting them in there, but am happy now. Sat over daughter's shoulder whilst she taught herself to plant peas and to put up a pea frame. It's all just zinging along now isn't it?

[SarzWix]

I spotted shoots of my spuds today too Tucked them in with fleece before I came home from the plot

I also have flowers on some of my peppers, and 2 of my tomato plants, and, the peas are looking suspiciously like they might flower soon too

And I had to help 2 amorous Red Admiral butterflies to find their way out. Spring is definitely here, finally!

[Currysniffa]

This morning I sat in the greenhouse drinking coffee.

At the weekend, moved tomato, cucumber, melon and chilli plantlets out from guest bedroom into GH on staging (guests would not have appreciated sharing room with 7 trays of plants!)

One cucumber was strangling another one, so that got potted into the Morrisons bucket on the floor of the GH - probably too early but it had a flower and seemed to want to move on! Sadly managed to damage the one it was strangling

Still growing asian veg (and a solitary lettuce) in the GH bed - most are in flower now but they are edible and very cute! Not sure what the temperature is supposed to do next weekend - colder I think? - so probably still too early to put the toms in the bed?

[Ericthehalfabee]

Today I began to wonder if I'd done too much sowing too early .. the gh and coldframe are full with plants that look big enough to go outside but theyre not going anywhere for the next 4 weeks, apart from upwards! Might just have to curb my enthusiasm to get cracking next year. Have decided to transplant the toms to their beds in the gh though, as they may as well be under fleece in beds as in pots .. (is that sound logic, I wonder??) I'll be keeping a keen eye on the expected overnight temperature every night for the next few weeks (the Met Office phone app is very useful) Still have to find the courage to let the chillies and peppers spend a night without any fleece, but tonight might be the night as we seem to be in a relatively mild spell at the moment. Doesn't sound so promising for the weekend though.
