What I did today 2022

[annie8]

2 bulk bags of compost arrived today so will be spreading that round the garden in the next few days. My son offered to help but only if I paid him.

I planted a big batch of seeds for starting on window ledges.

Congrats on your new GH and accessories Peanut.

I've planted out my sweet peas, found places to put the last of the lettuce then weeded the GH borders and tubs.

Yesterday was like Christmas! My wonderful neighbour knew I was after another greenhouse and yesterday he turned up with one that a friend was getting rid of, it's 8x6, complete with lots of staging, 5 heated propagators and a couple of wall troughs!

How lucky am I!

Now we just have to work out where it is going to go, clean it and work out how to put it back together. Fun days ahead indeed

Shredded all my accumulated prunings and brassica plants, then took half of it up to the allotment. I also raked up a bit more grass whilst there.

Planted out all my sweet peas.
Potted on my tomato plants.
Planted my trailing geraniums in window boxes which will go out when the weather is warmer.
Sowed more cosmos and zinnia seeds.

Planted mixed lettuce into buckets and troughs. Moved plants from the GH to the cold frame.

Moved my jostaberry cuttings to their final positions.
The strimmer man came today to do all the paths, so I raked some grass up for more compost heap.
Sowed another gutter of mangetout peas.

Repotted a few more tomatoes and planted my second earlies. also repotted a few house plants.

Started to work turned part of the grassy comfrey patch into a veg bed (I don't really use the comfrey much, so I don't really need four massive plants).
Started by marking out the edges of the bed I want, then I skimmed all the turf off, removed the bindweed and couch grass roots from the turf, and stacked it to one side. I've now started double digging the soil underneath, burying some turf at the bottom of each trench.

Brought back a big sack full of brassica plants and other assorted woody bits from the allotment for shredding.

Moved gutter sown peas and kale seedlings under cloches. More potting on.

[Sweet savory]

Planted delikett peas in their loo rolls into the raised bed at home having actually thought about how to support and protect them first. They are next to the bird feeders.
Planted up last tub of spuds sarpo axona. I have 2 of them left which I will pop into a space on the plot where it will not be shaded by the sweetcorn.

Last night earthed up the Charlotte potatoes, which are just through, because there seemed to be a chance of late frost.

[annie8]

Potted on some tomatoes then spent time trying to work out how to squeeze all the pots on my windowsills. Also sowed courgettes and squash seeds.
