What I did today 2012-2014

[binley100]

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

You don't need to blanch it.......wash , dry , freeze , steam from frozen or chuck into boiling water ....

[donnakebab]

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!

I bet you only sewed them yesterday.

[donnakebab]

I put my sewn twirly French beans outside in their Morrisons pots in a sheltered space in my garden. Need more space fore potting on my toms. Took me a while what with the crutches an all and resting in between. But job done.

Also cleaned the bathroom (except the floor, can't get down there yet) and did some washing both of which are way too boring but a bit of an achievement under the circumstances.

Oh and made a rather nice bacon and broccoli pasta bake.

Finally managed to clear enough ground of weeds to plant most of the potatoes - Rocket and Maris Peer.
Also planted out the well rooted onion sets. Its always a challenge planting anything amongst tree roots!

I haven't even grown it Now you're going to make me sow it aren't you?

[SarrissUK]

I got home quite late from work so decided to spend the night at home with the seedlings and little plants. Inspected the tomatoes and they're really quite dire, so decided to sow some more of the black russians and black krims. It might be way too late, but if I don't, I might end up with no toms at all lol
Also sowed some borage, lovage and chives. Have no idea how to grow borage and lovage so off to read up on it now

last night -checked on the greenhouse toms and beans all good, sowed another tray of sugarnsap beas dwarf and runner beans, er just in case when I plant out this weekend they all die

did I say its going to be 24 degrees next week....

[Snadger]

Weeded my shallots. Hacked a big lump off my next door neighbour plum? tree which was extending over my plot.
Went round pulling out thistles...............my hands are now sore!

[BarleySugar]

Cleared out the flowering sprouts, cabbage and kale and bought home 2 bin bags full for the hens. Smashed the stalks with a club hammer before putting in the compost. Dug over another bed, and planted cauli, romanesco and kale out.
Talked to another plotholder, and got the offer of the use of her push mower to do the paths around my plot.

[Cue the Toms]

checked seeds again today and guess what! I have 3 lil bubba seedlings rising above the dark pit of compost yippeeeeeeeee

Little bit of fur showing on some of the pots though Too much water?

[Brentalist]

took the plunge and almost all but the smallest of my tomaotes to the unheated greenhouse
moved some of the trays of seedlings around on the free windowsill space
pulled up a couple of volunteer runners who had suffered over the last few weeks, (this isnt going to stop me planting out bigger more established plants this weekend)
watered indoor chillies that looked a bit droopy
a lot to do this weekend, the weather looks good in my area next week

[bethduckie]

Went to the lottie

Dug, lots

Weeded

Put up wigwams for beans

Chatted lots and lots- well its what the lottie is for isn't it?

Went to garden centre, bought more seeds (corn, squash, spring onion) some corn plants (lost mine to frost- the babycorn, and the cat- the regular corn. Grrrrr!) more compost and canes

Tied up the broad beans at home

Bit of digging at home, picked some rhubarb, lovely jubbly!

Talked nicely to the seedling squashes and courgettes, I lost the first lot, including all the special ones, they all just withered and died.

Sowed the new squash- honey bear.

[VirginVegGrower]

Sowed my squashes. Planted the gherkins in the GH. Moved tomatoes into the house ready for polytunnel next week. More hard landscaping tonight I reckon

[Bren In Pots]

Planted out some beetroot I'd grown in paper pots then potted on my sunflowers.

[sarah_rance]

Well not today but this week -

I levelled a one slab wide bit at the base of my slope to put more pots on and levelled a 2x2 slab patch by the fence also at the base of the slope to put the second mini greenhouse thingy in the sun. Phew
Repotted lots of stuff - squash, courgettes, toms. Pricked out Gardeners delight seedlings. Ate some radishes - Yum
