Busy day at the allotment today planted onions out but done what busy lizzie does ive put a membrane over the soil to stop weeds and cut squares out to plant the onions hopefully it will work well
Also planted out a row of carrots seeds and parsnips seeds but I hilled the soil just to see if they grow better and straighter as the soil shouldn't be as compacted but we will see.
Also made 4 flower boxes to plant my sweetpea flowers in, as some of you may remember we got a garden arch last year but the sweetpeas never got all the way round but hopefully with them being at a better height they should this time
I hope the membrane works for you. My French son in law hills the soil for his carrots and they do well. I hope you don't get a frost, the sweet corn looks almost ready to plant out.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Hia Busy -Lizzie i remember reading it last year and thought it was a good idea so ive planted onions and when they are big enough plant cabbages as well .
Fingers crossed it will work as sometimes it can be hard to keep on top of the weeds when you work full time
I couldn't sleep last night so looked at your post and I was hooked watched it from start to finish you have both worked so hard and it's a credit to you both
I love gardening too and have never been able to grow breadsticks they always get eaten by something! Your cabbage was amazing keep up the post as I love it and so do many others x
Thanks for taking the time to read our posts Susan683 loved your breadstick comment he he . Hels says it would be great to grow them as she loves them he he
Been busy this week getting things ready for spring/summer . Made a new flower box for the small shed as the other one was rotten. But after painting it I had to paint the shed which I really loved doing NOT he he
Me and Hels are having a debate whether to leave the big box in the middle on the decking (ME) or move it on the lawn next to the fence(HELS)
