Looking good Bizzie, I'm stuck at work till 4pm so cant enjoy this lovely sunny weather.
The big pile of wood chippings have diminished, managed to get enough to top up my paths. I had one of my cabbages last night for dinner,wow cant beat fresh produce, I dont normally eat the stuff!!! It was good enough for coleslaw too. Picked spinach and yet more radishes
Today been dismantling the greenhouse, well all the glass came away in one piece there was one bit broken when they wanted to give it away - will eventually go to the allotment plot
Took quite a few hours but lucky it was nice and sunny, measured it all first as council need measurements - took pics and done a plan drawing where/ what side labelled, - bubbled wrapped glass with a few pieces in one bit, labelled as much as I could with masking tape and pen, dad and other man did most of the dismantling, I was doing labelling and bubble wrapping all got home safely now in bottom of garden in bits on the floor covered with tar palling
Even got two free tree stumps which I will use for seats - from one of there friends as he tried to go to the tip but 6 feet trailer no go unless he pays so did not and I got some bits cleared a bit of his trailer
BizzieB you sound super busy great pics, your soil is looking pretty good
Ginagibbs I try food more if I grow it some times even if I don't like the stuff like lettuce prefer red but eat if home grown - normally find more ok that way
Been to the allotment today went into the shop for plastic sheeting to cover the bits of bubble wrapped gh glass at home got that and got offered potatoes for the allotment plot for free so got some (a bag) as they had loads left and were only going to bin them if not First early Winston
Finished off digging the first row of metre squares - that is now 12 metres across which is great, then got the potatoes in two rows
Hi been to station so many foxgloves in the garden it looks great
Went on a skip trawl for pallet top bits for a fence found 1 that was it - but then as a large pile of bits was allowed to get anything I wanted, got some large bits of wood varying in sizes, bits of plastic and got 2 shelves and a chair which will be great for the shed just needs repairing and a clean
Hi guys. Had a fab afternoon at the plot yesterday, it was very hot. Managed to sow some barlotti beans, plant my celery and celeriac. Took some photos too
Gardengirl the chooks are fab thanks getting lots of eggs from them and plenty of entertainment when one of them gets a worm lol
Gina I can't post pics on here via the green tree icon, I have to use photobucket then paste the "img" code over here.
Allotmenting going really well, everything looking as it should do, I came home this morning with the first lot of broad beans, and we are eating fresh strawberries already!
Blimey Fruitcake, you are lucky, my broad beans are flowering but no beans yet. Strawberries are just starting to happen and I'm in the south with a very sunny site! Radishes have been fantastic so far and the turnips are coming through nicely. Had to harvest a few onions as they were starting to go to seed, not sure if my garlic has come to much, they are going over now but they are a bit on the small side
Didnt get to the plot last night as I am dog sitting (that means taking 3 for a walk!!) so spent the evening in the garden instead. Started to rain today so at least I wont have to worry about watering later. Have a good day everyone
