What I did today 2012-2014

[kentishgal]

Ive done nowt coz its too miserable outside. I just popped out to the garden now tho to move the strawberries and potatoes into the blowaway and chuck some fleece on my salad crops. (first time Ive felt the need to protect anything from the cold!, in flippin' May!!).

It's been to horrible to do anything outside. The sun's come out now it's too late to do anything, but the forecast is better (drier) for tomorrow.

I do hope so ........need to take the psb out to create celery trenches .

[VirginVegGrower]

Sliding in mud, shovelling, barrowing and generally fed up. Threw dead seedlings on the compost pile...gutted!

[Snadger]

Potted on 10 tomato plants into bigger pots. Put all my toms and chillies + cukes on a hogh shelf in greenhouse and coverdd them with bubblewrap type stuff. Frost forecast tonight methinks.

Trenches? Like the Somme here. I can give you trenches

[supasick]

watered where needed, shuffled round all the plants to attempt to squish more stuff in, swore alot at the bl**dy snails that had a lovely supper of sunflowers on me so slug pelleted as well. Lit my heater in the greenhouse for tonight. Trying to work out how to position beds or even if i should have beds on my plot.

Sounds awful!

[VirginVegGrower]

In my dream I blanched, bagged and froze all the PSB and calabrese I had grown. Problem is I haven't. Made me feel productive though for a while

[Loudbarker1]

Glad I put black plastic over th newly planted out courgettes last night (smug)

[kentishgal]

I scatter sowed some wild flower seeds in my borders, planted out my nastertiums (they were looking abit ropey on the bedroom windowsill), annnnd sowed a tray with beetroot, chard, lettuce and kale. Not that anything is really growing I just felt the need to do something productive!LOL

[Snadger]

Sowed a tray full of yellow French (Flageolat)beans. Made a protective framework and planted our a dozen F1 Calabrese plants.

Left bubblewrap on indoor softies as another frost is forecast.


Amazing how a nice bright day has doubled my daily hens egg output. Poor hens must have SAD.

[Cue the Toms]

Checked all my seeds for growth/germination... Guess what? Nothing!

If I had trained to be a doctor then maybe I would have some patience!

[BarleySugar]

Earthed up my spuds, hoed around the peas (finally the surface was dry enough). I've got such lush sow thistle coming up all over the place, so the rest of the time was spent pulling it up. Still loads to go and I need to get them out before they flower. I read you can eat them, but no one at home was particularly enthusiastic when I suggested it.

[binley100]

Dug out psb and smashed up with an axe for the compost heap . Weeded the bed , raked in some pelleted chicken manure and compost ....made trenches for celery.... Cleared the old leek bed of weeds, chicken pellets and compost ready for beans.......cleared out nettles and goosegrass from the hedges ...added some more stones around the pond .....earthed up tatties .......
At home potted on toms ....watered as and where .......
