What I did today - 2019

[Gillykat]

I know not really plant moving time but I move things whenever and it usually works.

I'm always moving stuff at the 'wrong' time I find that 99.9% of stuff will settle into it's new home no problem as long as I water the hole first, plonk the plant in and then give it another good watering. Some things have sulked for a few days/weeks but most of the time they grow on no problem. Plants are tougher than we give them credit for

Not a lot done today.
Very heavy showers so it was an in and out kind of day.
Daughter in law called in with the baby and that ended the work.
All done now.
Have a nice evening.

Did the shopping with the wife this morning, then watched Wales beat England at the rugby, then out to the poly tunnel to repot my cabbage plants, plant some winter peas, and weed the curly kale in the garden.

I went to a new place for horse manure this morning, and my goodness, it's a lovely huge pile of well rotted, black stuff. I filled the van, emptied it all on my cardboard that's been down a week already, then went back for another, bigger load. Turns out that shovelling is not only good cardio exercise, I've also somehow walked 21k steps today. I bought a cheap fitbit type bracelet that tells me what my phone couldn't... wow!

I am leaving most of the work up there until tomorrow, but I did pick the last peas - they're coming out tomorrow. Is it too late for a last flush of peas even for shoots? I might bring a Leo box with me tomorrow and spread them - nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

I got home, shelled the peas while having a cup of coffee in the sunshine, then cooked them with my first patty pan and a squash that wasn't mature, but birds had pecked it, so had to be picked, with cod in dill butter.

Spending a moment now looking for stuff I can sow now, as I have a huge bed, and another two huge beds ready for stuff to go into

Haven't been doing much on the plot as have been a little demotivated lately, but been keeping up with harvesting courgettes.

Harvested courgettes, french beans and blackberries. Dug out elephant garlic which looks fine (no allium leaf miner damage).
Sowed black Spanish radishes - should be interesting.
Weeded a little and saved nasturtium seeds and elephant garlic bulbils.
Feel my gardening mojo coming back!

Emptied the veg trugs of salad leaves and picked up another load of apples

Couldn’t do anything in the garden with the torrential rains so I did my tax return instead.

Weeded around the precious pumpkins on the old-soon-to-be-former plot. Harvested what few bits were around. Measured up the new plot (well, Very Nice Partner did while I was feeding the baby). Transplanted the first of my fruit bushes/trees. Picked lots of blackberries.

Mowed. Got rained on. Picked stuff. Ate curry with friends

A good day

[SarrissUK]

Yesterday I went and fetched two van loads of horse manure and spread them on the plots. I need a couple more good finds of loads of big cardboard, and I should have most of the plots under control.

Today I spent weeding the 75ft bed, well half of it, and pulled out all of the peas, as they'd definitely finished. I will sow some more for pea shoots. I picked blackberries, kale and french beans that I will bring with me to my friend's house tomorrow as she's kindly invited me over for tea. I'll try not to get too tempted, but she lives out by the sea, on an old RAF base, and there's a big semi for sale there with a big garden for not a lot of money ><

[Bren In Pots]

Weeded and mulched around bean frames with grass cuttings. Pulled up bolted lettuce added dalek compost to bed.

[Small pumpkin]

Ripped out 3 tomato plants, 2 cucumber, radish plants ( grown for seed pods) , 2 spinach, all the mangetout, sugar snap peas and 1 wigwam of peas.
Composted 5 mini Tom varieties.
Moved some more chillies from little tunnel to the first tunnel.
Harvested stuff. If it stops raining for more than 5 minutes I’ll be harvesting more stuff.
Played with flower seeds.

[ameno]

Dug out some more bindweed from where the willows used to be. Finally finished, so now it's ready to plant.

[veggiechicken]

Its Chooksday - so I cleaned out the chooks.
Did some cutting back and clearing out in GH No.1 to give the tomatoes more room to breathe.
Picked raspberries and cut back some brambles to reach the blackberries.

Today I have.... kept realising again and again that it's a bank holiday Monday coming up! Three days off work! Yay
