What I did today 2012-2014

Thanks for the support, guys!

I'm sure there are a myriad other ways do grow stuff, and I'm sure most sorta work out. He was just so insistent that we were basically ruining everything, that if I hadn't spent the past months reading gardening books and lurking on here, I probably would have dug my potatoes out again and taken them back home to wait for the "minimum two inch" chits.

There are some people who spout absolute rubbish with such confidence that you begin to doubt yourself. It would appear that you havent been taken in by this and that you have the power to resist.
One summers day you will be able to show him your spud plants swaying in the breeze and suggest that he tries your methods for a good crop.

I always think other people know, and are more experienced than me! But beginning to realise, this is not the case.

Interestly now from what I've learnt on here, like covering with cardboard, folks don't say so much, they either think I'm mad or very knowledgable !

Some of the old chaps on our plots all disagree with each anyway, which is quite funny, they're all ok tho, some have been working their plots for over 50 years.

Yesterday I collected my strawbery plants (36 of them) from the post office, and got them temporarilly potted up. They've had to go outside, as there's simply no space for them indoors. Later, I wrapped the blue sausage fruit tree up in fleece. The buds are just starting to open, which makes it a vulnerable time for frost damage. I also took my midget melon out of the electric propagator and might need to take the chillis and giant leeks out soon too

Dug up the climbing beans and courgettes that still hadn't germinated from a late February sowing and found that most of them had rotted away! That'll teach me for sowing them so early. Then I went around all my other plants and seedlings, which all seem to be in good condition. Some of them need to be potted on though so I need to get myself some more 4 and 5 inch pots!

Sowed things with the children http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...thread-43.html. Watched the children on the trampoline and felt no urge whatsoever to get all hot and bothered in the veg patch - I am such a lightweight!

Moved an apple tree from a fellow Lottie who wanted more room.

Put a line of potatoes in!! Being very brave!!

Then it started hailing! So I done a runner. As soon as I got home the sun came out!!

Turned over and removed lots of stones from my raised bed. There were LOADs of worms in the soil, which was nice to see. Also turned my compost, which after adding in all the spent grains and hops from yesterday's brew smelt just like delicious beer.

Planted some spinach and radish in the end of the raised bed.

Sorted a charolais fleece and now have three bursting plastic bags full of delicious poopy sheep wool to go in my compost.

Today I... Borrowed a van from work and transported 9 pallets over to the plot. A bit of a mixed bag of sizes/styles but not bad for a freebie. Next weekend I will more than likely be building a two or three bin compost area.

Transplanted 60 Raspberry canes into 5 rows of 12 ...........................I like them almost as much as I like Beans...............

[AllInContainers]

Potted on a few seedings, relegated the surplus ones to the garden waste bin, and siliconed all the "cups" on the large strawberry planters as they weren't very secure before
