What I did today 2012-2014

[Tripmeup]

Well I did this earlier in the week.. Decided to eventually tackle the corner area of my garden plot..I used to throw some plants and spares in there from time to time and roughly bordered them with spare slates... So gathered up some of the spare wood left over from the house build and bought some screws..
I am certainly not a carpenter, but am happy with my efforts..
The bits of 2 by 1 sticking up are too allow covers or debris netting to be put over it..

Sowed beetroot - Sanguina and Touchstone Gold, spring onion - White Lisbon and parsnip - Tender and True. Did the odd bit of random weeding. DD earthed up the potatoes.

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

Unfortunately my "Missus" suffered a major "Heart Attack" on Sunday! only 49! So we are realling from that at the mo!

The girls have rallied to be fair! And she is being spoilt!

Tis my "Birthday" and was hoping to go out n eat! But circumstances changed that, so set the table n just enjoyed a lovely "Chinese" n very nice it was too!
Oh! n who ever or whatever sent a "Birthday Wish" this morning! Saying "Happy Birthday from the vine! Cheers!

And that goes for me also Deano. Should that Chinese not have been 'velly nice'

Sowed some Borlotti beans and some dwarf French beens in trays. Had the woodburner on in the greenhouse to try and leave a bit of background heat for this evening when we're supposed to have a frost!
Even though it was warm inside the miserable weather did nothing for my enthusiasm so I left earlier than usual without doing any work outdoors.

All the best to you and yours Deano!

I tipped one bucket of rainwater into another bucket of rain water ...... yup, I think that was about it today

After a stressful day like that I think you deserve a beer.

Just popped down to the allotment after work. Watered everything in the polytunnel, thinned out my tomato plants where there was more than one seed in a module. Hoed and weeded the seed bed, attacked the slugs and was incredibly relieved to see the first greenery on my potato patch.

Not much I can do on my clay soil when it's been raining, I want to get beans into the ground and give my empty beds a proper raking over but I don't want to ruin the soil.

Already on my third. Figured I'd earned it
