What I did today 2012-2014

[Rigel]

Sitting waiting for plant delivery because the company have delivered the wrong things twice now.

Having seen the dispatch notice I think they have done it again- it mentions 5 sets of 4x asparagus crowns. I only ordered a single one!

[VirginVegGrower]

The chicken wire and post fence around the lotty is up. Now I have a wire system that the tayberries and loganberries can start to romp away on. Plus whoever liked to walk across my plot, now can't. Hoed off again as the rain has brought up new seedlings - fortunately our soil is free draining. Planted beans, corn, nasturtiums, sweet peas, assorted bee friendly plants and am contemplating planting out the squashes. Direct sown carrots and gherkins are still not up, which indicates I should hold a bit on the squashes maybe?!?

[Gearoid]

Nipped out between showers, took the plunge and planted out my Gold Rush courgette plants. Thinned out my salad seedlings and spring onions.

Juggled in the greenhouse. Tomatoes now in their final pots

[Rigel]

A small mountain of asparagus plants delivered, all wrong! Now to work out how to return them.

Also adopted a small jungle of house plants from a neighbour who was leaving- so many of them I'm not really sure what to do with them as I've not had so many houseplants to take care of.

I see a lot of jobs to do over the weekend!

[Snadger]

Sowed a few climbing french beans from old seed. Likewise with dwarf frenchies. I'll give them a short while to see if they germinate and if not I'll have to bite the bullet and buy fresh seed. The annoying thing is I kept my own seed from my frenchies last year but have forgot where I stashed it.)

Filled another trug with weeds and fed them to the chooks to scratch around in!

[hawthorns]

Planted out runner beans painted lady & french climbing beans cobra. Red kuri squash & hawk hunter & harrier butternut squash (all covered with fleece. Blood veined sorrel. Sunflower.

[veggiechicken]

Planted the rest of the spuds - Pink Fir Apple, Blue Danube and Purple Majesty - a colourful mix
Planted out some more brassicas (kale, cabbage and sprouts) since the sacrificial ones put out a couple of weeks ago haven't been munched by the wabbits.
Did some more clearance of brambles, docks etc. Its a bit like weeding the Forth Bridge

[Scarlet]

Dug up loads of flowers in a friends garden for replanting in mine, weeded, replanted. Laid a path in my old shed with decking tiles ( thanks OTC). Planted in more toms, repotted lupins, sowed flower seeds, potted on chitted beans, watered everything, weeded a raised bed, fed chickens with weeds, planted out runners....forecast looks good

[Tripmeup]

Planted out some onions sown from seed that were in modules and I had forgotten about...probably a bit late, but no point chucking them... can do as spring onions at the very least..
Sowed some more carrots.
Planted out some Lolla Rossa from modules to ground..
Potted on some tomatoes..
Sowed some green lettuce seed.

[Florence Fennel]

Mourned the sad passing of two trays of turnip all consumed by tiny snails, which have now been squashed.

[Bren In Pots]

Planted out my Runner beans and sun flowers.

[Niall]

planted out final lot of beans, about 20 pea plants, some cabbage and broc, some onion sets and transplanted my melon plants and peppers into larger pots

[VirginVegGrower]

Squashes are in - all fifteen plants. More nasturtiums and beans in. More weeding, this time in the parsnip area. Fed with comfrey. Earthed up spuds again. Sheared off the spinach in the Gertrude Franck bed.
