What I did today 2012-2014

[Tripmeup]

Finally did a count of my Chilli plants and Sweet peppers...
This (dear God, where will I put them all) is what I have at present...

Chilli Pepper:

Anaheim: 4 plants (all from self saved seed)
Cayenne: 7 plants
Habanero: 2 plants
Jalapeno: 5 plants
Satan’s Kiss: 4 plants

Sweet:

Bell Boy: 6
California Wonder: 1
Chocolate Miniature: 6
Mila’s Bulgarian: 1
Pimento: 4


I have a few more of both Sweet and Chilli Pepper just sown, but not too pushed whether they make it or not, what with all the above! No doubt there may be a casualty or two along the way, but looking forward to sampling some of these.
Don’t ask me about all the tomatoes I have!!

Today Ive sowed french beans, melons, courgettes(3types), tomatoes(5types), cucumber(3types), basil, chervil, hyssop, cumin and sweet peas. This afternoon I need to get my potatoes in, repot a rhododendrum, 2 eucalyptus(one for a house plant and one for a patio plant) and plant some cyclamen.
Then I need to remind myself that my garden is only 10ft x 20ft and get on to the council about where I am on the lottie list!

Filled all 9 raised beds, having found the compost.

Stuck the washing on.

Was just about to go out and dig another trench for the polytunnel and suddenly a squirrel,Goldfinch and Siskin arrived to eat so I didn't bother going out...I just watched them..

Honest

Put my parsnips to chit then cut down a very long netting cloche and turned it into 2 usable sized ones.

Rescued everything that's flying around and can't be tied down. Frickin wild out there. Helped mum on her garden today and I sowed lettuce Black Seeded Simpson, Asparagus and Morrocan Cress. Too stormy to do anything else. I'm fed up with this and I'm back to the rant thread.

Couple of hours on the allotment this afternoon.

Remade one of the raised beds so I can reach across it.

Dug out four humungous dock roots (wish my veg would grow as well and as fast). Dug out another bucketful of bindweed roots.

Got beaten to the newly delivered poo pile by my greedy neighbour (who has also helped himself to the last three deliveries - what about leaving some for the rest of us?)

Maybe this post should be on the rant thread?

Potted on the last of my GD toms and also a very similar sweet variety I kept seeds from last year.Horrible straggly late flowering plants but the fruits taste divine.
More tickling the peach tree flowers with a feather in the hope it will set fruit.
Filled the pond up with the hose to make sure frogspawn didn't dry out. Took down some tin sheeting that was up the edge of my plot. My neighbour has put a high wire fence to make sure his chooks don't escape so there's now no need for the tin sheeting demarkation line.
If I can cut it down or fold it to two foot wide strips i could possibly use it as metal mulch for my paths!

i've got wibbly tin sheeting edging my beds Snadge.....

Today I have pricked out all my seedlings that needed doing .......(where on earth did all those toms come from ?)
Moved stuff around from conservatory to gh to growhouse to blowaways to make room for the cucurbits.....
Sown lots of seeds...
Made jam .......
am now listening to the wind do its worst

[KittyColdNose]

Discovered that something is sprouting in one of my raised beds. They don't look like weeds and all the seedlings came up at the same time. I am now rattling my brains trying to remember if I sowed something in that spot. I was saving it for salads so don't think I did...

Think I will wait and see. There may be some pictures coming if I can't figure it out

[daviddevantnhisspiritwife]

Chased and captured all the things swirling around outside in the gale. Cleaned more pots and labels. Did some sowing on the kitchen table :P. Spring Onions in modules, organic rocket, tango celery and some extremely unlikely aubergines (3 x old seed would have been wasted). Started late and ran outta time.

There's always tomorrow to do the other things.

[buzzingtalk]

Repotted my redcurrant bushes and gave them a soaking.
Dug and planted up about 5m of raspberry trenches.
Banged in the rest of the fenceposts and ran some wire along it.
Sowed sweetcorn, cabbage, brussel sprouts, cucumber, courgettes.
Watered for HOURS
Marked out 2 out of 6 of my beds in my rotation plan on the plot. One of them is 11x14ft!! Just one of them, LOL. Marked out the raspberry trench too.
Measured out space for 2 more raised beds.

[marcofez]

Sowed today at a very windy allotment!!!
A double row of "Dreadnought" broad beans
Jalapeno peppers I forgot about
Mesculin salad leaves mix
Lots of different flowers!
Weeded and feed strawberry bed.
Watered everything in the polytunnel and started hardening off seed sown onions and shallots, ready to plant on.
At home chitted sweetcorn.
Note: Tidy up polytunnel and shed!!!

[mrgrower]

planted onions out then the heavens opened

[eirish]

Deadheaded the violas, watered the seedlings, admired the scilla and anemones, cleared some dead leaves away from the fritillaries. Might sow a few more seeds tonight if the weather's not too ghastly.
