What I did today 2021

[ameno]

Finished digging the final allotment bed. Although I still have a little work left to do, as I plan to extend that bed a little.

Worked

[Purple Primrose]

Did some weeding. Planted out garlic. Potted up courgette and squash.

[annie8]

Planted put my Clapton cauliflower and red cabbage seedlings. Covered them in fleece.

[Mr Bones]

Potted on 24 Golden Acre cabbages, turned the compost and showed a younger gardener interested in no dig round the plot.

[burnie]

Added some canes for support for my Broad Beans, two varieties for a taste testers.

[Containergardener]

Battled with more ground elder . My trial of covering bed with weed suppressant last yr certainly helped. Once have last bits out (haha as if I havnt missed any) I will re-cover area with extra barrier. It will not beat me .

[burnie]

Prepped the greenhouse border ready for tomato planting, garden furniture evicted to make the room, here's hoping for warmer nights.

[peanut]

Washed the car, mowed the lawn and got a sunburned back whilst doing it . Thought about all the other jobs I have to do and started a new list...

[Jungle Jane]

I protected my peas & beans today after I sowed them,with a bit of netting to stop any mouse,our cat sees any fabric as a bed so I had to also balance a bit of shelving on top of that,crazy protection from everything planted out the first potatoes,washed some more pots,they’re in the kitchen ready to sow courgette,melon & squash but I’m going shopping soon after I’ve brought the plants indoors might do the sowings tomorrow or Sunday

[Mr Bones]

Put the sweetcorn to chit, sowed two rows of parsnips and deployed cloches to stop blackbirds turfing out young plants.

[ameno]

Carried my big sack of shreddings to the allotment. That was pretty back-breaking.

I then dug over the last bean patch and rigged up the first X-frame of canes.

[peanut]

Weeded some veg beds, put up a couple of arches for climbers. Sowed some Tithonia.

[Containergardener]

Cleaned out some weed and sludgy leaves from pond. Noticed a baby newt , we have them in there each Yr.
Topped up a little with some clean water.
Proceeded to weed around pond including runners from a fern like shrub that was taking over. Decided to remove them all including main plant and some big rocks.
Moved and planted a hellebore.
Set to weeding out ground elder ugh and brambles/nettles ouch.

[MelanieSW]

Potted up 23 tomatoes.
