Hello , went to plot this morning and planted 2 types of Broccoli 🥦 and lettuce sewed carrot - 2 different types , beetroot and parsley O/H sewed pumpkin 🎃, sweet corn 🌽 and courgette in g/h and potted on dalia seeds
Gardengirl , Cake sale at allotment sounds good , much better than shop bought , enjoy 🍰
Hello , took picture of g/h frame that we where going to turn into another fruit cage but will be a new sitting area , we used Balcony Screening from Lidl and net for back still need to do the front
GWRS that looks brilliant, nice place to sit - I used the same stuff brought last year for a screen for garden drive way good as windy area did well blocking out the draft as well
Have a nice easter all
Went to the tip 4 times today with lots of pampus grass and some of it very heavy - lots of scratches on arms most cleared only a few bits left in garden
Got to have a really good bonfire in garden cleared lots of wood also sowed my sweetpea seeds at last - loads done hope I am not too late to have them grow well
The artichokes haven't come up yet hope I didn't bury them to deep.
Been away for Easter, got back about 5 and went to the plot to water. Lost some seedlings in the GH. I can imagine it has got really hot in there over the past few days and I've been away since Friday.
Hopefully some stuff has been revived through watering.
Zoomer , my Artichokes have come up yet either , wouldn’t worry , they are tuff plants O/H has also been watering allotment , due to this excellent weather Looking at Forecast looks like it is going to break on Wednesday 🌧
We could do with some rain, hope it's during the night though:)
I'm in a dilemma, whether to take sweetcorn and mini pop seedlings down to the plot to make room at home to sow beans. I've dwarf ones, and tall varieties. 4 different one's in all. The temp during the night drops to 6 or 7, do you guys think sweetcorn/mini pop will survive those temps in an unheated GH.
Zoomer , never grown sweet corn from seed , why not put a question on forum if you can’t find the answer Personally I would have thought it would be ok but don’t really known
My celery seeds have started popping up in tray still no celeriac and my sweetcorn in tray with kitchen roll have germinated not all seeds - will have to plant up in little pots, took water butt down community garden so hope to collect water tomorrow
Zoomer my sweetcorn will only be in a non heated plastic greenhouse sure will be fine and your area colder that in the south for the artichokes sure they will show soon

That's given a little more room at home, so potted up beans and Okra yesterday. Bought some leeks and nasturums from GC today.
