Bed 27 and whatever Roots, Shoots, Fruits, or Leaves week it is.
Days 27 - 31 are alphabet wild card days. It all starts again on the 1st of the month.
There is a plan in there somewhere, honest

It's nice having those few days as spares where you have the freedom to pick any letter you want & maybe you could do five letters in one day if you want,it's your choice like a little treat at the end of each month

PIcked a ioad of grapes from my 3 year old vine today - bearing in mind I really don't know how to prune them (as I've mentioned on other threads) I'm well chuffed. So - tomorrow - home made wine (made from grapes - blimey) and some left over to bulk up a blackberry based tincture-to-be. Have burnt off quite a lot of detritus this evening and last - plot is almost ready for next months final inspection of 2017

Tuesday's jobs
I'm waiting for some software to arrive at work and I will be very busy when it does, but it has been delayed so I had more time than expected today.
Weeding and deadheading - done some
Harvest bucket of Sarpo Mira potatoes - done, only 0.75kg from 3 seed potatoes. My Sarpo Mira have been very poor this year.
Move fennel and spring cabbage to fruit cage - done
Harvest salads, blueberries, spinach, courgettes, beetroot - done some, including finishing the spinach, which has been the best I have ever grown in summer. Also harvested the remaining apples and some french and runner beans.

Decided to sow some mooli in the bucket the potatoes were in, as I had found a packet of seeds.
Cleared up some of the blueberries that had fallen on the floor during the gale and also 2 large pieces of runner bean plant that had broken off.
Ordered slug and vine weevil nematodes and some border edging that matches what I have already used on the veg garden to see if I can make the bed a bit higher.

Wednesday's jobs (work permitting)
Weeding and deadheading
Trim the edge of the front lawn next to the drive
Sort out the brassicas under the big net - need to check for snails as something is eating them
Harvest salads, tomatoes, blueberries, beans, carrots and try some kale.

Friday's jobs
Weeding and deadheading - done some
List of jobs for weekend - done
Spike front lawn - no
Check pots and water if required - done
Harvest blueberries, salads, tomatoes, beans, courgettes - done
Check strawberries for ripe fruit - found 3, more in the next day or 2.

The blueberries are nearly finished now, with most of what's left being rather small or damaged by caterpillars/wind. The strawberries are Just Add Cream, which are by miles the best perpetual I've grown, both from a productivity and a taste perspective.

I got a bit distracted because the border edging I ordered had arrived. Put it in place around one end of the veg garden, making a slightly raised bed. I'm not going to fill it for a while (no point in encouraging the tree roots) but I want to see if I get used to looking at it and make sure I am not going to trip over it as it is intentionally brown and therefore not that easy to see.

Weekend jobs
At my friend's:
Inspect greenhouse tomatoes and remove anything mouldy, pick ripe fruit.
Check melons for ripeness
Plenty of weeding
Harvest Sarpo Mira potatoes if not too wet - use compost to mulch the bed where the onions were.

At home:
Weeding and deadheading
Spike front lawn

Pot up spring cabbages
Rearrange plants in grow light garden
Planning for next year (to make sure I have enough empty buckets for potatoes, carrots etc)
Harvest salads, tomatoes, beans (french and runner), bolting leek, carrots
Check strawberries, calabrese, courgettes

I'm in the process of removing all of the raised bed timber as it is rotting & going back to traditional beds. I'm about half way through so weather permitting I'll do a bit more tomorrow.
