What I did today 2012-2014

[elleme]

Sowed some more peas in a tray for the shoots and a few in the ground for peas.

[Greenleaves]

Sowed my second tray of runners, and missed my train!

[Bigmallly]

Sorted out the beds in the new Kites then installed the new zip openers...............Get me, installed.....

Moved the peppers and fennel out of their trays.
Checked the beer traps in the veg beds. The addition of slug pellets to the traps has increased the death count significantly. It also keeps the birds off the bodies.

Started digging out a large rockery / raised bed that's been there for 30 odd years. I now know what my parents did with all the rubble when they knocked out the kitchen wall before I was born .

I also got very wet and muddy. It's a messy day here with frequent heavy showers.

Set out 6 orphaned tomato plants in the GH. I bought them at the village garden club's plant sale for £1 when they were clearing the tables. Only one has a name "Red pea" which sounds like a medical problem but could be a "Red Pear" having lost its "r"
Two of them are rumoured to be Harbinger as they were in a tray with some but apart from that, I know nothing.
I also bought 2 Cucumbers labelled "Small". Its all an improvement on my purchase a couple of years ago, when I bought everything that was left including 3 pots labelled "Grass"

I went to plot this morning, planted 3 rows of a multi coloured dwarf bean I've been given (we'll see), 2 rows beetroot, a few spinach, where there were gaps, ran a length of garden string around mange tout to persuade them to attach onto netting.

Prepared bed for courgettes in few weeks, by digging in the stable manure we got last week. Heavy! Aching back now.

Now, didn't water cos, weather forecast was for rain thus PM, what's happening, a few spots and now sunshine.

Planted out runner beans - hard to dig with your fingers crossed!
Tidied up greenhouse, and removed EVERYTHING which wasn't actually a plant. It's amazing how much stuff had accumulated - radio, secateurs, various bottles and packets of stuff. Oh, and a cushion for the cat! Just had to be ruthless in order to make room for all my baby plants...

[Currysniffa]

Potted on a load of tomatoes and peppers I've grown for someone down the allotment. Also been digging and rotavating on the new plot. Almost ready to plant some late potatoes \0/

[shellyanne1987]

Sowed some climbing french beans in modules from my own seed kept from last years harvest.

Started to clear a new bed of wood.bricks,breeze blocks and nettle roots. Dug over a bit of it in the rain but decided it was to claggy.
As soon as i got in the car to come home, the sun came out!

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

Did running about to various "hospitals" gathering results!

Ditched OH at daughters to do an hours shopping! Yeah! Whatever!

Hopped into Lottie n erected bean supports!

Then came home n went though the "Dahlia" tubers I have collected from work! Knocking on 30 varieties!

Shall do my best to get most potted on tomoz! Update shall be seen in the diary hopefully! Need to catch up with that too! As I see a few more have posted!

But for now! A nice hot bath! Clean bedding! That feeling is better than potting up an "Iris"

Yeah! I behaved!

"Offskie"

[Mumbles]

Had my first home grown side salad of the year

Weeded and feed, the onion and garlic beds. Then it chucked it down with rain! So tidied the polytunnel up!

[Mr Gardener]

Made two raised beds out of log roll edging, just need to spend a fortune filling it and then think what I want to out. in there....

[Florence Fennel]

Just spend half a fortune Mr G - lasagne fill the bed

Potted on 4 toms last night into their final buckets. Unfortunately they've had no hardening off, so will wait with baited breath to see what happens to them exposed to the elements.
