What I did today - 2017

[bario1]

Sowing peas, beetroot and sunflowers. Pricked out PSB into pots.

[Greentea]

in between sunshine and showers I planted my first ever tatties! eek and then some onions where it used to be a wilderness of monster nettles and docks.

hubby says I'm easily pleased

[bario1]

Dug out a few random docks and dandelions.
Watered some bits and bobs.
Cut some Spring greens for a friend.

[Containergardener]

A bit of clematis pruning and repotted from half baskets 2 other clematis, need another pot for the other 1 . Ohhhh a trip to the GC is required

[Bren In Pots]

Potted on my Toms and sunflowers.

[Nannysally99]

Potted on all my leggy veg. Toms, sprouts and kale
More sowings imminent

[Jay-ell]

Popped into W1lk0 and got a bag of 3 hostas to grow and create a slug buffet area for the frogs.

As my Ramsons rug currently consists of a single plant with one and a half leaves I ordered a batch of plants on the green. Postie came today carrying a large garlic smelling box. He didn't look too happy.

[bario1]

Pulled up my 'split' garlic and planted out some red onion sets there instead.

[1Bee]

Moved the compost dalek, dug over half a bed and planted out the last of the spuds - Rooster. Hoed/weeded the two spud beds and covered with fleece with an eye to the forecasts...

Cut some water pipe to make a frame for a raised bed so I can fleece/net it. Fleeced it.

Lifted the fleece off the onions and weeded them.

Dropped the last 3 tubers of Sarpo Blue Danube into holes in a disused corner. Vigorous, they say. Suppresses weeds, they say. We shall see!

Took some pics of a huge worm.

[burnie]

Planted out some Leeks into a raised bed as the roots were coming out the bottom of the 3 inch pots in the greenhouse

[Small pumpkin]

Made a couple of hardening off benches ( board of waiting for him to make it! ).
Tidied up my tunnels and done some tray juggling ( all sales plants and my plants are now separate ).
Fixed up some pallets ( they were feeling very sorry for themselves! ), they will be needed in the new tunnel for my chillies to sit on.
Got my sales barrow out and gave it a good clean.

[Bigmallly]

Had an easy day today if I remember correctly...............made half a dozen watering aids out of 2lt pop bottles & 12" lengths of 20mm pipe glued into the openings, cut the bottoms off the bottles, placed in the strawberry bed & filled with water..............similar to this only my 20mm tubes went inside the bottle:

[treepixie]

Cleaned the greenhouse glass, potted on some toms, squash and sowed the sweet corn and sunflowers

[Bex2012]

Put in three rows of spuds, Axona, Pentland Javlin, and another first early that starts with a c (can't remember what its called!). Got fed up of digging, and mounding up so put the 5 Anya's and 5 Caras I had into potato bags.
Checked on the radish and parsnip seeds I put in - some of the radishes are up, not sure about the parsnips, could just be weed seedlings.
Put some carrot seedlings into mfbs, will do some more tomorrow. There's hundreds of them, so I may donate a bucket or two to my sister, as my niece adores carrots.

[SaraJH]

Sowed sweetcorn, French beans, mange tout, sugar snaps, courgettes, lettuce and broad beans
Potted on squash and pumpkins
Dodged the rain
Planned tomorrow's seed sowing
