What I did today 2021

[Bren In Pots]

Potted up winter lettuce some into modules the rest into buckets.

[annie8]

Lifted my main crop potatoes (kerrs pinks), dried them then put in a clamp. Got 11kg from 11 plants. Also put my earlies in clamp.

[peanut]

Watered all the veg beds. Can't remember when we last had decent rainfall
Picked lots of tomatoes
Wanted to do more but too busy with other things

[ameno]

Pruned the last plum tree.

[Mr Bones]

Took the climbing French beans down and chopped them into the compost heap.

[Bren In Pots]

Potted up the last of my winter lettuce, collected Telephone pea seeds that been drying on the plant. Sown some spring cabbage.

[Bren In Pots]

Pulled up one lot of sweet peas and added them to a compost bin they were covered in green fly

[ameno]

Pulled out the remains of my melon plants, now that the melons are all picked. Also trimmed up the watermelon plants to try and remove some of the diseased material, which seems to be spreading like mad.
Fed and watered almost everything.

[quanglewangle]

Verticut the lawn, which left the patches invaded by weed grasses almost bare. A bit scary.

Seeded and top dressed those patches with screened topsoil.

Overseeded the whole lawn for good measure.

Sprinkled on about 2cm

Fingers crossed and keep it moist for a couple of weeks.

[ameno]

Dug up half of my maincrop (Rooster) potatoes.
Removed more diseased leaves from my watermelons and sqaushes.
Fed and watered.

[Mr Bones]

Collected a piled high trailer full of fine wood chips with plenty of green (for adding to compost), pottered about on the lotty and did lots of nattering. Showed a party of new tenants round the plot.

[quanglewangle]

Ordered nematodes for lawn leatherjackets. Haven't actually seen any crane flies but don't want devastation like we had three years ago.

[Bren In Pots]

Removed two cucumbers that had finished in the GH weeded the GH borders.

[Sweet savory]

Cleared sweetcorn, weeded and raked. Then sowed green manure for winter timed to take advantage of the deluge we are promised tomorrow.

[Bren In Pots]

Removed the Masterpiece cuc I can’t see it producing any more cucs the Beth alphas are still doing well.
