What I did today 2012-2014

[hawthorns]

went to the plot harvested purple sprouting and the last 2 parsnips. bleeding freezing didnt stay long

[Snadger]

Bought some ericacious compost to pot up my blueberry. Went to lotty where 20 eggs were awaiting my collection (2 days worth) Also bought a small pot of about twenty scented sweet peas to pot on for £1.49 from GC.
Harvested carrots and swedes for Sunday dinner. Had a bit of a yabber with another plotholder about outrageous plot rents and freezing weather.
Went home and only used the fresh carrots (Unbelievable the differnce in taste to shop bought carotts!) Aldi were selling asparagus tips cheaply so used these as the other veg. Bit tasteless but nice texture!

would've liked nothing more than to go lottie to get fresh veg........alas 'tis buried under snow

[Potted Penny]

Hid in polytunnel and pricked out sprout seedlings!

[eirish]

Made a lot of headway on the cold-frame lights. Also went to the garden centre to get some lamp oil and came home with three packets of seeds as well.

[veggiechicken]

Sowed cranberry seeds that have been in the fridge, chilling out, since Chr***mas. Also some intact cranberries to see whether extracting the seeds makes any difference to germination.
Planted some Thai garlic cloves and a galangal root.
All done in the kitchen as the temperature hasn't risen about freezing all day. Brrrrrrrr!!

[Tripmeup]

Sowed celeriac seeds in greenhouse
Sowed some saved peas in toilet rolls in greenhouse
Sowed some more tomatoes
Sowed Inca berry and Cucamelons indoors

[marcofez]

Snow covering the plot, so decided to take apart 2 more pallets. 4 more pallets to go. Thinking hat on to decide what to make with the wood.

[StaryD]

Woke up all in good spirits and eager to get to the lottie, opened the door and was met with -2 (wind chill of nearly -10) temperature and thought 'sod that', closed the door and started doing cross stitch instead.

[Aberdeenplotter]

Mixed up compost for potting on leeks and onions. Potted on a few onions for an elderly relative. Watered/fed onion plants with solution of liquid seaweed. Spring is all around me <sings>,well it's around the corner I hope

[binley100]

Took the covers off my seedlings for a few hours ....then everything started to go cold again so covered them back up ...

[scorpius]

Got some strawberry plants from some on freecycle

Was going to do stuff at home outside but the wind Brrrrrr

[Feral007]

Potted on my passionfruit plant, but I think it's on it's way out. Will bring it in tonight and hope it revives.
Watered the lettuce for a new home owner (house warming pressie) watered some broccoli seedlings, but they are very leggy so will plant them tomorrow and hope for the best.

Did some more cooking to freeze. Praying for rain.

[Noosner]

Went to the garden centre and spent MORE money on seeds... but then again I'm sure it's a good idea to try different varieties

Sowed cucumbers: Cucino and Burpless. Sowed tommies: Vilma and Torenzo.

Moved one tray of leek seedlings from windowsill to shed. Cucs are in heated propagator in shed now and tommies are on kitchen windowsill.

[redser]

Harvested the first of my early Maskotka tomatoes and ate them with burpless cucumber and lolla rossa from the tunnel. Woke up and went back to staring at the snow out the window.
