What I did today 2012-2014

[Scarlet]

Started organising my new shed, shelves went in over the weekend. All I need now is some electric for my kettle.

[Bren In Pots]

Moved the toms, chillis and aubergines out of the h/propagator onto the window sill now their heads are showing, then I emptied and sieved soil out of one dalek and turned a second.

After a hard.....days graft, I was so looking forward to seeing what fruit trees Lidl had in. What a waste of time. Instead I went to Poundstretcher & picked up a Stella Cherry & Golden Delicious Apple (couldn't find a pollinator for the apple so Fingers crossed there is one on the lottie)

O now you've reminded me - THAT'S what I was going to look for in Lidl today while I was out - the fruit trees

Sowed Lillia onions in clumps in modules and popped them into heated propagator.

I thought that about Lidl trees - had a look tonight. Morrisons had Laxtons Superb and Charles Ross when I went to look. Biggest trees at Aldi though, second Morrisons, Lidl last!

Sowed Pot Marigold, Judas Tree, Cucumbers (three types), gherkins (two types), Celery (three types) and Lettuce. Worked for three hours in the greenhouse and garden. Ate lunch outside. Wearing only a vest top and jeans - I burnt my shoulders in FEBRUARY!
Saw my first bumble covered in pollen from the hellebores.
Bought ten bags of wood chips £1.99 from Lidl for the lottie paths.

Loved it today

Had a look in the greenhouse and all the parsnips have germinated yah Planted some spinach seeds.

Poundstretcher trees are even bigger & better then Aldi, are 2 quid dearer but worth it. Plenty of choice too.

Direct sowed 6 rows of broad beans (50 seeds) and then realised i had room for 3 more rows and cursed the fact I didn't buy 2 packets of seed.

[jdlondon]

Sprayed my greens with milk mixture - milk/water 1:5 - as that is supposed to fix my powdery mildew problem.

[Creemteez]

Prepared the "Nursery" greenhouse and filled it with the following sowings of:
Beetroot, Red Onion, Red Shallot, Perpetual Spinach, Asian Stir-Fry Leaves, Mixed Cut n' Come Again Salad Leaves, Parsley, Calabrese, Cabbage, Sprouts, Radish.
Sowed Early Nantes Carrots under glass in "carrot tub"
Sowed - (but bought home to the warm) Thai Basil, Sweet Basil, Red Basil (I like Basil - ok?),Dill, Echinaecea, Chillies, Tomatoes (Marmand, Moneymaker, Ailsa Craig, Black Russian, Black Cherry, Red Cherry), Peppers, Aubergine, Dwarf Dahlias.
Chitting on the kitchen window-sill - Onward Peas, Oregon Sugar Pod Mange Tout.

Also got some shop bought watercress sprouting roots in a jar of water and a tray of Mustard Cress doing it's thing on some damp kitchen towel!
It feels GOOD to be "doing" again!!!

Dug over one of the kiddies beds, cleared around five fruit trees and gave them a decent helping of compost, covered a few stubborn areas with wood/cardboard. Dug a little bit more. Raked the two beds I dug yesterday.....and, cos I'm ever so impatient and the sun was shining, sowed my first row of carrots and radish.
Oh, also brought home some strawberry runners and planted in pots for the back garden. (beasts always seem to get to them before me at the lottie)

And hoed most of the fruit cage.

Unclipped and transported glass to my lottie from half a greenhouse roof and both sides. Only got glass to strip off back and transport then I will have to work out how best to part dissasemble the frame for transportation.
