What I did today 2012-2014

[binley100]

Potted on some cavalo nero (nowhere to put it at the mo) and some spare bras in case the last lot gets eaten......potted up some armpits ......was going to deleaf the jungle but a) the leaves look remarkably healthy and b) haven't got enough fruit set yet.....so went to work instead .......

[Bren In Pots]

Potted up a couple of black cherry armpits into the tubs that cucs drown in, weeded the brassica bed then pinched out the broad bean tops and added them to a stir fry.

[Samurailord]

Sowed loads of Cucurbits'

3 x Courgette 'De Nice A Fruit Rond' (never had a round courgette before so really hoping these come up)
4 x Squash 'Patty Pan Custard White'
3 x Courgette 'All Green Bush'
3 x Courgette 'F1 Defender'
3 x Courgette 'F1 Atena'

and 3 x Kohl Rabi 'Purple Vienna'

Planted out 2 x Broccoli 'Romanesque' and 1 x Caballo Nero to replace slug damaged plants.

Covered all seedlings with pop bottle cloches

Tried to mulch round my leeks and chard with grass cuttings - never done this before, lets see if it helps.

Pulled all me onions up, 2/3rds had bolted. Added the fermented bokashi bucket contents to the 2nd dalek composter and covered the bokashi with clippings, prunings and some earth. Potted on yet more tomatoes. Removedloads of raspberry suckers to allow more air to circulate and give me chance to walk by that part of the garden without getting scratched to bits.

Snap in onions and raspberries. Also tied up the runner bean canes - slightly late - oops! Pulled some broad beans up and out as I took off the last few beans. Still about twenty plants left. Picked last of rhubarb I guess, stewed and now frozen. Dug up some potatoes. Twas a flying visit.

[VirginVegGrower]

Fruit bed weeded and re-netted. Too wet to do anything else.

[Feral007]

Planted out 25 native trees/plants in the paddock. No harvest..........except maybe some fresh air and shade in years to come

Today I went to the lottie and...
Dug some spuds
Dug up some badly blackfly damaged broadies (rescued a few beans for tonight though)
Dug over a patch ready for some leeks
Looked woefully at badly overgrown areas of plot... sigh...
Went to shop and bought more bush bean seeds and a cucumber plant, despite telling myself I wouldn't- both sowings and the first lot of shop bought plants have died this year. Will it be 4th time lucky? Will it heck...
Came home and...
picked some more broadies
Dug up some broadie plants (have had a lot of beans from these plants though so maybe they were just old?)
Planted cucumber
Planted 6 tomato plants
planted basil.
Picked some broccoli
Watered.

Discovered that all my calabrese and romanesco seedlings have gone brown and crispy. And most of my lettuce seedlings have vanished without a trace. Sowed some more calabrese and some kale in modules.

I'm thinking I might have to try sowing salad leaves in guttering. Direct sowing doesn't seem to be going well.

[Jelliebabe]

nothing garden like - but I did eat some loooovely rhubarb crumble!

[Samurailord]

Picked loads and loads of elderflowers - the car smelt like an army of tom cats had taken up residence on the way home!

Split it into two lots - one for cordial, and one for champagne

[rustylady]

Pulled dozens of huge thistle plants out of the shingle front garden and put them in the council bin. One of the few things that have grown really well this year and I don't want them. My arms are now very scratched even though I was careful.

[Florence Fennel]

Pulled a few onions that look like they've bulbed up all they're going to. Tasted my first pod pea, sweet and delish. There aren't many, just enough for the grandchildren to eat as they wander round the veg.

[VirginVegGrower]

Went to a pottery sale as yet another none day GYO wise, although clearing weather wise now. The night is still young I suppose.

[traceys plot]

ate a handful of peas (they never make it to the pan), picked another courgette doing really with these this year using water i've boiled veg in to water them let out the chucks this evening they hated the storms today .
