What I did today 2021

[Mr Bones]

Nice looking shed MrB

Thanks Bren, check out those orange pans too - they were left out down the road for the scrap man. Brand new, still in their individual plastic bags and boxed. I even had to attach the handles to the lids

You can't get better than free

[ameno]

Cut down another blighted tomato.
Gathered in my onions.
Pruned the grapes and the gooseberry.

[peanut]

Cleared an area of daylillies and other stuff which I plan to turn into a large potting/storage area.
Painted one side (the rough side) of two featherboard panels, nearly killed me and took 3hrs. The 16ft side of my shed only took 2hrs!

[ameno]

Fed and watered the peppers and squash.

Dug over the area where the onions were, dug in some manure and poultry manure, and planted my purple sprouting broccoli plants.

[Bren In Pots]

Picked what I think is the last of my Telephone peas the rest will stay on to finish of drying for next years seeds. Deadheaded and pulled out some bolted lettuce and spinach.

[Mr Bones]

Checked the spuds over for damage etc. and bagged them up.

[ameno]

Cleared the dead Collective Farm Woman melon plants, cut back the geranium, put some of my grape bunches in mesh bags as they are starting to ripen, watered and fed most of the stuff at the allotment.

[Bren In Pots]

Oven roasted lots of Black Cherry toms.

[Mr Bones]

Picked up four bags of horse manure, hoiked two week old compost batch from the wooden bay into the tin bay (tin bay is piled high and looking very full, ready for autumn use) and turned latest batch of compost from one end of the wooden bay to the now empty end (new batch was only started two days ago but is really steaming nicely).

[ameno]

Bagged some more bunches of grapes, and removed a load of leaves to allow more light to the fruit.
Cut out the fruited loganberry stems, and tried to tie in the new ones. Easier said than done as they are some 9 feet long

[ameno]

Did a whole load of shredding today. Now I have a huge sack of shreddings to take up the allotment.

[peanut]

Had a quick nip down the garden to try and prioritize, in my head, all the jobs that need doing when I next get a minute and was amazed at how much growth my poor neglected brassicas have put on.
I am very impressed with their survival instinct!

[annie8]

Cleared the strawberry bed of the leeks and spring onions I had put there because I had nowhere else. Trimmed more leaves off the tomatoes in the greenhouse. Put some plants that are for the front garden into the one of the veg raised beds. I am. It ready to put them in the right place yet until as still full of annuals.
