What I did today 2012-2014

[Bill HH]

Also made another raised bed for my better half.. It's her buffday tomorrow. Dare I substitute that for the perfume she has just about run out of?

Well if my wife is anything to go by it will be the perfume or your fiddly bits.

Y/day I planted up 24 strawberry runner in the new bed. This morning I'm picking up some sharp sand to dig into my carrot bed. I've also got a job application form to fill in.

My mushroom spawn arrived which reminded me I hadn't prepared anywhere to grow it...................so a couple of hours later, after joining 2 cardboard boxes together, filling with well rotted manure with a shovel of wood ash, I ended up with a mushroom house...........................

Spent the last two days picking up toilet rolls and empty milk bottles to use from friends. Checked the weather and glad I haven't started anything yet. Wet, windy, cold and a slight chance of snow.. lovely! I wish spring would hurry up

Looks like a'magical house' to me, perfect for mushrooms, or hobbits.

Lets hope the mushrooms think so Dotty as I have yet to grow one..............

Not a lot today, just checked everything in tunnel, all coming along nicely. Everything I've planted has started showing signs of life..... So had a quiet day.
Don't go back to work until Friday so hopefully get some more garden done before then.

Dug two more trenches, and am now ready for my earlies to go in this weekend.

Watered the greenhouse and tidied an overgrown strawberry patch.

Managed to get half an hour at lunchtime - used the bulb planter to chuck in some 'Rocket' spuds on part of the newly cleared ground. I had previously cleared brambles / ivy and a load of whips, covered it with cardboard and coated with spent compost. We'll see how they go.

Did a tray of turnips seeds and then planted out a tray of Garlic that have been patiently sitting in the cold frame since November (ish).

Checked on the stuff in the GH, broadies are mostly up (the replacements after the greedy mouse/rat/whatever). Not many peas up. Will do another tray. Spinach up and ready to go out.

Walked round checking everything and noticed the PSB is nearly ready. Harvested plenty of young salad leaves form the grow light garden. Planted some Hurst Green Shaft peas in pots in the propagator. Studied the weather forecasts (a hobby of mine) - the detailed weather charts, not the TV and newspaper summaries. Looking cold over the weekend and next week, so decided to hold off putting anything new outside for the moment (the current predictions from some models for April, May and June look rather unpleasant unfortunately, but there is time for them to change). Dug some more of my friend's veg garden.

Planted a few more chitted Parsnip seeds, I have almost a full row planted now (25) just 3 more to go

Did a bit of weeding while I was there and also gave the spring onions I planted last week a bit of water.

They'll be 'magic mushrooms', very special.

Spent all day completely redecorating my kitchen as a surprise for OH as he is working away only for our daughter to tell him on the phone 'guess what daddy we haven't painted the kitchen' which sort of gave it away!
Didn't really get a chance to get into the garden although I did notice that my lettuce and carrots have started breaking the surface
