What I did today 2012-2014

[Noosner]

Spoke to all the other Lottie's who turned up cos the sun was out, was really busy up there, for some this was their first visit this year.

Slackers!

[Ninetrees]

Planted sweetpeas in a bamboo wigwam pot, and also along the back fence. And then had the first barbecue of the year

[RaptorUK]

Did some more weeding, just half a bed left to do, maybe tomorrow.

Seems I spoke too soon about the Horsetail, its mounted a counterattack and is popping up here and there . . . so I've dug out all that I can see, I guess I'll be repeating that process for some time to come.

Watered my recently sown Spring onions and a few Parsnips I had sown to fill the gaps in my row.

- got the last of my summer cabbage in, and the first lettuces
- shed's hanging baskets are up
- had to water all the new sowings, no rain for over a week now
- the comfrey's up, so refreshed the liquid feed bottles with new leaves
- chitted & planted loads more French & butter beans
- and some mung beans: worth a try. I can grow lentils & chickpeas here in a warm summer
- limnanthes starting to flower. I'm pulling up all the yellow ones, keeping the white only to self-seed
- used the 'wrong' ones as a mulch, just chopped up & dropped on the soil
- planted out loads of rainbow chard, just cos it looks so pretty
- got my bean canes up ready
- cut the lawn again, added clippings to the autumn leafmould
- first hedge trim of the year (honeysuckle, rose, jasmine)
- made a https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...type=3&theater as an aide memoire

Started off finishing the shredding that I started yesterday then moved on to give the grarse it's first cut of the year. Mulched the onion & tattie beds with the clippings. Planted 10 Courgettes out under a mini kite............Time for Fish n Chips me thinks.

Dim..be careful of morels. if it is of the genus morcella then bonus but dont confuse with the pretty similar gyromite (fr) of the gyromita esculenta which is very toxic

Watered all the seedlings and pricked out lots of snappy snaps

Took receipt of and planted one apple Braeburn, one Apple Worcester pearmain, one cherry Sylvia and one peach Rochester. Let see how long these last and if a couple generations of hobbit get to see them

More parsnip seeds on damp kitchen towel have germinated. Pulled the little roots out of the weave of the kitchen towel and planted them in a raised bed in the garden. Worth the faff? Unsure. Have also direct planted two rows of seeds down at lottie. More germinated seeds have gone into little pots in the unheated greenhouse. These have already turned into little seedlings. The Great Parsnip Challenge continues...

[Bren In Pots]

Shuffled plants between the GH and my makeshift coldframe and planted out mixed lettuce seedlings.

Out early, this morning. Did some weed hoeing, then banked up the spuds. Now off to play golf. Another day done!!

[Maddiesaur]

Finally plotted and dug the beds, weeded, fought with some brambles, planted a dozen onions out just to see how they go and so it looks a bit more lively! Had a great time in the pouring rain for three hours
