What I did today 2012-2014

[Likac66]

Collected my heated propagator from the courier depot and sown the following into it:

Numex Twilight Chillies
Sweet peppers
Purple Beauty Pepper
San Marzano tomatoes
Marmande tomatoes
Hot Cherry Red Chillies

Cleared through all my seeds and organised them and placed an order with moreveg.com for more seeds.

[Marcher]

Spread sulphur to bring the PH of the lawn down (it's very alkaline). The grass should hopefully grow better now.

[Linnea]

put in two more raised beds in the rain!

[SeleneMourie]

Checked on mamouth garlic growing
Sowed tomatoes and peppers with the boy
Sorted seeds out and read up on the 'sowing plan' i have devised
Checked onion seed
Searched high and low for chilli seeds but no luck
Sowed some rosemary, dill and chervil in the hope it's not to early

[veggiechicken]

A few hours in the GH!
Planted out a load of mixed salad leaves into a trough,
Planted Edenrose, Chesnok and Elephant garlic from modules into the border, having first set out the tomato pots so that the garlic can grow on undisturbed.
Planted my experimental leeks and celeriac that I have been rooting in water.
Sowed 30 Sutton broad beans in modules.
Potted up a lemon grass stalk that has rooted in water.
About to sow more seeds into the miniplugs that had the salad leaves in - haven't decided what to sow yet
Warm this morning but turning chilly now.

All I've managed today was to empty the compost bucket into the bin. The compost in the prop is still too wet to sow into.

[Paulieb]

Braved the garden for 10 minutes.

Chucked in a few 50p packs of tulip that already had inch long sprouts from in the bag!?!?

Harvested some carrots from the tubs in the greenhouse for sunday roast, and also crowbarred some leeks out for the roast too. With a cricket ball sized red cabbage (don't know what happened there) and broadies out the freezer felt really proud.

Despite saying the perimeter fence will be finished today, it wasn't. The place I've been getting the reclaimed timber posts from has been closed all week, so that will have to wait until next week.

However I did get the fence put up around the sides and back of the plot so all I need to do next week is put the fence up around the front.

[Bren In Pots]

Sorted out my seed box then ordered parsnips and leeks seeds I think that's all I needed this year.

[Likac66]

Planted some broad beans into pots, although the seeds looked a bit mildewy so I'm not holding out much hope for them.

Also sown onion seeds (red and a white variety) and cayenne pepper.

[Ananke]

Dug up dwarf beans which left a finished bed ready for covering with cardboard.

Emptied the big greenhouse of last years toms/cues/peppers etc, emptied and dismantled the blowaway and reasembled it inside the big greenhouse (it was millimetres too big to go through the door, typical :s)

Fed the cats and birds, chatted with plot neighbours we haven't seen for ages

[VirginVegGrower]

Riddled a load of compost out from our three bins and now have half a bin full of ready to use compost. Never got chance to do much else as it started with snow.

[veg man]

To be honest went on the plot plulled some leeks, carrot, and a cabbage for dinner.
Then nothing but brew up and natter well i said i would be honest

[binley100]

What was left from no1 compost bin went into wheelbarrow ........to make room for compost from no2 bin to be turned into bin no1 .........which left no2 empty to receive compost from no3 bin ......which will receive the next lot of stuff to rot down , starting with some chicken poop and straw from my mate.
A topless and bottomless dalek bin got filled with leaves .......
Some of the compost in the barrow got riddled to go in the gh beds.........
Some leeks and a cabbage got pulled for dinner ........
Cut my finger ........

[Linnea]

not much today even though the weather was good as we were at the cinema.
sowed leeks, cauli and cabbage plus some artichokes - put them on the windowsill to (hopefully) germinate
