Gave my toms a spray with epsom salts ....de-stoned and froze some cherries.

I sent Mr VVG to the Lotty to do some harvesting and weeding. Does that count?

Horrible chemical day. Sprayed the brassicas against flea beetle which will destroy emerging seedlings within an hour. Took ages as I removed hoverflie larvae first. The brassicas are the only thing that gets the really nasty treatment.
Then sprayed bordeaux mixture on the toms as it is due to be warm and wet for the rest of the week.
Sowed lettuce and fennel.
Put back the beetroot up-ended by the mole. Again. Useless cats.

Planted out three Turks Turban pumpkins, three courgettes and eight brussel sprout plants in a previously dug over area of a redundant chicken run.
Lifted my Troy japanese onions (1/3rd of which had the first stages of white rot) seperated out the affected onions I need to use quickly and stored them seperately to dry.
Turneed over the area vacated by the onions and planted module grown french beans in their place.

Last night picked courgettes and my very first cauliflower ever! Ate home grown broad beans, courgettes, new potatos and lettuce for supper.

Finished fencing.

It stopped raining long enough for me to take a walk around the veg. Calabrese has lovely yellow flowers cabbage and cauliflower under netting have either gone to seed or fed the snugs. Fourth sowing of parsnip has not emerged. Three courgettes have been eaten also by the snugs. Fourth sowing of CACA salad succumbed to the snugs a few days ago. I have with gay abandon and in a fit of pique scattered hundreds of smarties all over the bras. I know I shouldn't have, but it's too late now. I have peas and broad beans and the onions look good, but the pumpkins are struggling and the tomatoes need sun. I'll see what I can salvage at the weekend.

Harvested broadies, shiraz mange toute and most of my garlic.

Plucked and flung slugs and snails. Spotted half eaten courgettes.

Had a tidy in the fruit cage (between showers & deluges)

Thought what the hell and went to the lottie.........harvested some broadies, peas and soggy razzers. Fretted over my tattie leaves. Cursed the snugs. Watered in the gh. Did some weeding, All punctuated with wax off wax on ........

Went down the allotment today to do some weeding, sowing and harvesting. Pulled my first beetroot up, which look really nice. Also found a toad has made its home up by my compost bin which I'm happy about as I'm leaving that area to go wild in the hope to attract some wildlife.

[Thelma Sanders]

Planted some winter cabbage interplanted with leeks where the new potatoes had been.

[VirginVegGrower]

Potted on some brassicas, watered and fed in the greenhouse and poly. Went on an anti slimy attack. They got hurled from a bucket into my neigbouring garden in fairness they do have ponds and toads.

[GardenFaery]

Lopped branches off of fallen lilac tree - will have to go back and get saw for rest of branches now.
Bought grow bags on offer for planting out broccoli seedlings, cut some pinks for vase, lopped off some of willow tree to widen walkway and open up planting area, dead -headed violas, pinks, roses, harvested Lollo Rosso Lettuce, cut back a little of elder branches by path, feed veg and flower beds ready for the next deluge!
