Hello got up to allottment with tomatoe pots and hanging baskets to add to compost bins . Didn't do much as the havens opened up
at least sorted greenhouse at home out , 2 chilli plants and parsley pots transferred to conservatory , still got used grow bags to take up to A , the give it a clean and take shadding down
the rats have eaten the sweet corn again , so we have decided not to grow them next year
Zoomer44 I use a camera . try and email picture to your self then up load as not sure site uploads from phones - glad you getting shed area ready
Philippa Smith2 is that a new person?
GWRS Will be a while for shed yet lots to do before hand and permission to put in for, glad you like the video, yep lots of grass and only the long armed sheers to cut down with so glade the cardboard is helping keep the grass and weeds down
did they have the sweet peas mix in the runners or to one end?
News just in I filled out the permission form today with the intended shed size and good news is I am allowed to build it I have been granted permission for a tool shed which is brill
I have peas and beans coming up in the raised bed in the garden, they are a little bit high now
Went and got more fence pallets Friday took them to the allotment plot now have lots of piles of pallets still a few more to collect, also took a few more pallets from home to plot for shed porch - allowed one of them
Going to be sowing my broad beans for allotment plot in trays at home early next week on fruit days (gardening by the moon) and on flower days going to sow my sweet peas - have so many pink packs left going to sow them in root trainers to go into cold frame
GWRS use your celery to make celery and potato soup yummy - was the celery nice in your salad
been to the allotment on Friday and today to tidy up and I've pulled the runner beans down but left the roots in and now weeding and enlarging the beds. I've been given broad bean seeds and onions, planted the onions today.
plan is to get some weed control fabric, have asked on freecycle and also paving slabs. I also plan to change the shed into a playhouse so that the little one has somewhere to play with his toys.
Gardengirl , celery & potatoe soup sounds like a good idea , celery has a definite flavour as opposed to the watery stuff you get in supermarkets
Spent morning at allottment , sorted out asparagus bed , already cut down the stems , weeded , compost around the cut stems and rotted compost around edges
also emptied watering cans , one unfortunately had a dead mouse in it
next job need to tidy up sprout bed
Have grown squashes in past at the side of asparagus bed but any ideas for another item to grow ?

Hello all
been to the allotment on Friday and today to tidy up and I've pulled the runner beans down but left the roots in and now weeding and enlarging the beds. I've been given broad bean seeds and onions, planted the onions today.
plan is to get some weed control fabric, have asked on freecycle and also paving slabs. I also plan to change the shed into a playhouse so that the little one has somewhere to play with his toys.
Can't wait to see your shed GardeGirl!

Hello, when you leave the roots in from runner beans, will they eventually rot down by next spring please?
also, I planted broad beans today too. When they sprout up do I need to cover them with a cloche or will they be fine without anything over them?
thanks muchly!
Tootles , runner bean roots should have rotten down by next spring , however , always give them a little help before hand with spade
hopefully I will put broad beans in at the weekend but will put cloche on now , if we have a dry winter you can always water them
best of luck
Thank you
