What I did today 2012-2014

[rustylady]

Went out in the garden in my dressing gown just after eight this morning to rescue the two fence panels that had blown down from the back alley before some idiot ran over them. Out again this afternoon (fully dressed) to help No 1 son put them back where they belong.

We have a fence down too RL, but I pity the poor peeps in Scotland and the North.
Have sown more tomatoes. Old raspberry canes moved on allotment and redcurrant bush moved and brought to home. Need to finish clearing area on allotment tomorrow and get brick planters made before Mr VVG returns to work.

Planted a rhubarb crown that was showing pink buds hope its not too late eek

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Sown 6 Cinnamon Vine bulbits in large pots cause it's horrible outside. Will transplant into the ground come Spring time.

It would be nice to be able to get up to my lottie - the weather here has been awful now for days/weeks?
And it seems that every time it improves, I'm having to do something else.
The bad weather has to end soon so I can get all the outside jobs done.
At least I've been through my seed box and have ordered new stuff so I'll be raring to go

did a bit of tidying in the gh ......moved my 3 tier blowaway (complete with a brand new cover ) in there ready for my seedlings to be moved in .

[super trowel]

I went up to my plot today to basically check the chuck's.
And surprisingly found another plot holders greenhouse laying on top of a bed of onions and leeks! :s

(Yesterday) We cut back a row of willows planted by the last owners of the house. They were planted too close together and some had not taken. Dug up and redistributed the ones that were still alive. Put black plastic and mulch down to protect them. Prepared cuttings for planting from the prunings.

Had a flat tyre, distributed some hedging , heeled in some hedging , sowed some onions, popped into wilkinsons on way to work , got followed out by a loganberry , some white strawberry plants , and red and yellow shallots ....
9think they wanted to come to work with me !!!)

[Peppermint]

Bought some more black plastic. Sowed some cress and some lettuce seeds for growing inside. Have started to sort seeds into monthly sowing order but have now decided that I probably should enter the details into a spreadsheet. Ordered Joy Larkcom's 'Grow Your Own Vegetables' off Amazon.

[stella]

Planted onion sets, prepared a bed for new rose bushes.

[VirginVegGrower]

Cleaned out greenhouse and reorganised everything into neat stacks. Reported some mints and thymes. Trimmed up some old raspberry canes that we have dug up, heeled them into compost ready for replanting elsewhere.

- took about 50 black bamboo root cuttings
- dug up my favourite dahlia and split it into pots in the gh, for early cuttings
- checked out the dog poo: nearly gone now after just a week (I put a layer of leafmould on top of it)
- cut some roses (!) for the house
- did an hour's weeding up the lotty (flowering grass & chickweed, a little bit of groundsel too)
- retrieved my dalek lid from next door's plot
- noticed that scabious & red clover have just started flowering, about 2 months too early
- potted up some tulip bulbs that've been in the fridge since Nov: early flowers for indoors
- cleaned out the fridge: set the saved spuds for chitting on the east windowsill (cool & light)

[Helgalush]

Planted an elephant garlic bulb given to me by my Dad about a month ago (ooops, got waylaid by Christmas!)
Planted some shallots
Planted the second pear tree in a massive pot (well my husband did, I just watched!)
Sowed some cauliflower in modules, which are in my porch.
