What I did today - 2019

[Bren In Pots]

Spent ages today weeding tom seedling from my beds, containers and GH.

Armpitted tomatoes
Potted on my outdoor girl tomatoes and left them outside
Potted on some tomato seedlings that will go to the plot
Pruned the grapevine
Checked on my beans

Today I mostly opened a parcel and squealed in excitement lol

[bramble]

Harvested my garlic this morning.
Planted potatoes in the same space this evening.
Fairly pleased with the size of the garlic but probably wont grow it next year as it takes up too much space for too little return.

All I did was water and count potatoes and admire the cracks opening up at the base of the climbing bean frame. Oh, and try and remember which squash I sowed. Not a good sign as that was only a few days ago...

[Snoop Puss]

Watered everything and culled a few melon, squash and courgette plants. Beans starting to come through for the climbing bean frame. Probably planted too many beans, but I could eat beans three times a day and not think it too often.

[Small pumpkin]

Watered chillies
Fed chilli grows.
Removed side shoots on toms and cucumber.
Lots of seed shuffling

[Snoop Puss]

Brought water up from the well, watered everything, earthed up some pots, weeded round the toms and lettuce. Culled the last courgette plant that needed removing. Admired the climbing French beans but too embarrassed to count them. There are rather a few...

[bramble]

Watered all my plants in the greenhouse.
Went to my sons house and spent a good two hours weeding.
Sowed grass seed again, this is the second time.
First time, I sowed it and went on holiday and nobody watered it.
This is the last time, I will not be doing it again.
Feeling a bit exhausted now but hope it will be worth the effort.

Finally planted out 2 Trombas. Hope they survive the slugs as they seem to be enjoying the beans.
Did a lot of weed seed-head snipping off, cleaver collection and bramble chopping down as its green waste collection tomorrow and I like to pack the bins as full as possible.
Weeds are going crazy at the moment with all the rain we're having. Its been sunshiny today.

Pruned the grape vine, and cut a few branches off my (massive) cherry tree to let more light in underneath.

[Snoop Puss]

Wished I hadn't culled the remaining courgette yesterday, as snails had a jolly good nibble in the night at the one I left behind.

Earthed up Laurette potatoes good and proper and did masses of weeding. There's less to do than I've already done, so starting to feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Snoop do you have more courgette seeds there’s still time,I’m thinking of sowing more cucumbers for later in the year,there’s still time for many plants.

[Snoop Puss]

^Yes, I've already thought about it. In fact, I only sowed them a few days ago.

Bed 9 built, soil ammended and planted purple sprouting broccoli. Lots of weeding and hoeing today on all the beds (mares tail has taken 10-14 days to resurface). Replacement squash seem to be establishing well. Peas seem to be germinating along with carrot and beetroot sowed last week. Pak Choi coming through.
More craters filled from the kids digging

At home, tied up pumpkins to trellis and pollinated first courgette. More weeding. Planted Charlotte's into a potato bag. Tried dipping growths from the "tomato armpits" in rooting powder then into soil to try establishing new plants.
