What I did today 2022

[ameno]

Finished my digging for this year.
Started on my bean frames. I sorted all of the canes into long and short piles, and set up two wigwams.
Also started laying down the black plastic. I did the bit for the sweetcorn, two of the watermelons, and three of the squashes.

Ferreted around in the pot where the courgette was allegedly sown a week ago and found a seed with a small root! Gently replaced.
More potting on of tomatoes and the squash seem to need it too after only 4 days.
Celeriac and beetroot planted on plot.

Moved some over wintered cape gooseberries and planted out some cucumbers and melons.

Fed toms with comfrey.

I have still got some real slug pellets left.
There is no transplant stress with them in small.

[Jungle Jane]

Mine are still very small & would get eaten by slugs overnight if I plant them out,I’m bringing them indoors tonight,there’s a low of seven degrees…

[Plot70]

Mine are going direct into there final positions under sheets of glass saved from old double glazed windows.
The glass is supported on blocks of baked hard clay that will remain to be washed into the soil once the glass is off.

Are folk planting out their courgettes, squash etc. yet ? Been getting mine ready by putting them in the cold frame but thinking I might get them out this weekend.

Eek! Forgot all about squashes. Thanks annie8

[Bren In Pots]

Annie my courgettes are still in the GH but will be moving them to the coldframe once they're grown a bit more.

Weeded the onions and two of the mini raised beds.
Dug out the the strawberry plants which had the green-flower virus, and mulched the remaining plants
Earthed up my maincrop potatoes.
Did some more digging.

Planted my toms and Marigolds into the GH border.
Sunflowers and the spare Marigolds were planted at the end of a veg bed.
Found homes for more lettuce then weeded the parsnip bed now its easier to see which are weeds.
