What I did today 2012-2014

[kentishgal]

Potted up some aquilegia and chervil, also pricked out some lettuce and ruby chard and potted that on (this year Im trying to give things a head start before they go in the ground!). Also top dressed my container apple trees.
Very thankful to the heavy rain last night though, or else I would be having to water everything today as well!

[Bren In Pots]

Planted out Dwarf Kale, perpetual Spinach, Swedes and some more mixed lettuce that were all started of in newspaper pots.

[rustylady]

More digging and weeding. Planted out calabrese.

[VirginVegGrower]

Mowed lawn and added to heaps. Two full and heaving. We need another one building got me another half allotment plot. Can't have all despite no waiting list, but I'm happy with half.

Delegated, gave instructions, watched, picked out a few stones and roots to look busy and ended up with 2 more pallet crates filled with next door's flower bed and a mound of soil looking for a home
Now pondering what to plant in 4 raised beds in a very sunny spot

[Likac66]

Went to plot and watered most stuff. Won't be able to get down again until Sunday.

Gave 4 tomato plants to the school's garden club. With giving another one to a colleague earlier week and a few small ones frazzling in the green house I think I'm down to just 32 plants.

[Snadger]

Weeded a bit, dug a bit, planted a bit, just another boring day at the offiice.

Had far to many toms last year so stuck a few sweetcorn plants in the greenhouse border for a change of scenery.
Still have to find somewhere to put the 40 odd various types of tomato plants though!

Carted a load of home made compost from the garden down to the allotment and loaded up a pound shop grow bag with it in the blowaway. Planted a courgette plant in it.
Planted out the 3 little purple sprouting broccoli plants left from last year.
Chopped down a big borage plant, chopped it up smaller and used it as mulch around the willows.
Weeded and watered.
Caught the sun on my back - ah, summer at last!

I've interplanted the broadies with them and put them down the middle of the asparagus bed as well as them sharing a bed with some squash ........figure they will or they won't

today I watered stuff where needed, weeded where needed , did some foraging for comfrey to make more bottles of tea , planted up in tubs my lemon verbena and some agapanthus , sorted out stuff for craft fair tomorrow........

[Snadger]

Had a day at my project house bricklaying and giving the lawn a cut. Couldn't resist calling at the allotment on the way home and did another shift there.
Planted red torpedo onions and leeks in a bed I'd previously prepared.
Watered anything that seemed to be flagging
Hand weeded another bed of weeds, mainly thistles.

Put up thirty metres of rabbit netting , weeded my onion bed and caught some free ranging chicks up and put back were they belong, took some brassica plants to a friend and had a well deserved brew

[Canny Grower]

Planted out my sweetcorn and squashes. I'm still trying to find a suitable space for the pumpkins though.

I remember feeling overwhelmed 3 years ago when I first saw the allotment and wondering how I would ever fill it. Now it's not nearly big enough (except when it comes to weeding!)

[Jonthefish]

Lol, upset the other half by walking through the house with watering cans. I must get myself a hose pipe. Made another 2 litre bottle of nettles and water. Picked out 7 to 9 weeds. Fillled both my water butts with water hyacinths. Told the dog (Eric) numerous times to get out of the way, whilst struggeling with heavy watering cans.

Drank 3 cans of Speckled hen.

[VirginVegGrower]

Planted daughter's sunflowers, watered raised beds, weeded, sown Tuscan mix salad leaves from Franchi, watered poly and in greenhouse. Watered allotment.
