What I did today 2012-2014

[QuoitsPlayer]

Cayenne Peppers, Sweetcorn and Onion seeds all coming up in the propagator a week after planting them,summer can't be that far away

[Likac66]

Collected my polytunnel from the post office. It's going up on Sunday.

[sally fran]

Sowed Early Nantes carrots and put red onions sets around the edges of the bed. Sowed lettuce (Quattro Stagioni) and planted out some indoor sown Romana lettuces.

Well yesterday actually ... cleared out the garage and took loads of 'stuff' to the plot for re-cycling - old curtain poles, random floor tiles, a dismantled cupboard, 2 big chunks of surplus 'work surface' - there is going to be much Heath Robinson construction! Just typical though that the weather is improving at the end of the school hols though!

Planted out a jostaberry and yet another rhubarb crown (keep killing them). Lifted the last endive roots for forcing.
Put anti slug mesh around kiwi and hibiscus as they are both being destroyed as soon as any bud breaks.

Fixed a few panels on the fence that were rotten and falling off then got the tape measure out to see how much of Lisa`s flowers I need to dig up for the polytunnel

[frogga]

Managed to get the potatoes in, planted an onion set, put a roof on the chicken pen to stop every wild animal getting the food and moved the strawberry towers outside, a good day

[rustylady]

Watched the rain through the windows, played with grandchildren, and potted on tomatoes.

[Two_Sheds]

- got the last dozen box plants in
- filled up two daleks with dead wallflowers (died before flowering), grass & weeds
- prepped my stuff for my Master Gardener training

[horticultural_hobbit]

Re-sowing of tomatoes. Cajoled the three survivors. Checked the chillies were still standing.

A friend came to lottie to help me rabbit proof the rabbit proof fence, as the darn bugsbunnies are still getting in. We dug chicken mesh into the ground about 6" deep outside the already existing fence and wired it in. Fence is now okay on 3 sides and we'll do the other side next week. I defy them to find a way through that lot!! A lovely 'warm moist soil and plant' smell in the lean-to greenhouse when I got home.

Decided some of the 'weeds' in the garden are actually land cress. It's pretty hot and peppery so destined for the soup pot - unless a better idea comes along. Husband was impressed at how much it tastes like watercress (he's just a wee bit skeptical about my plant id skills and willingness to eat things once I've decided what they are! ).

Admired how much the radishes have grown in the last 24 hours, and indoors found three cucumber sprouts and another Hot Lemon Drop chilli. And I think my biggest jalapeno is contemplating its first true leaves.

Oh, and bought some marrowfat peas to try growing pea shoots.

[traceys plot]

re potted chillies,in plot planted psb, cauli and cabbage seedlings. sowed butternut seeds marked out for new fence. Took all the tomato plants from bedroom window sills to the greenhouse ( fingers crossed )

[Zenithtb]

Finally added the last wall to my compost bin. It now looks stupidly large at 6m x 1m x 1m, with three compartments. Entire width of the garden

Ooh, haven't dared do this yet!! (But am further North than you...)
