Done lots of bulb planting yesterday in Woolston garden project, they liked my benches were surprised thought the pixies had been in.
went to the allotment later in day took push mower and cut the grass paths around my plot except the up and down rollercoaster bit of path will eventually dig out and flattern off the path only goes to the brambles and inbetween the plots, also had a bit of bonfire get some of the blight stuff gone
Hello , change of plans , gardening to day but will go to plot at weekend , getting withdrawal symptoms as not been there for days , forcecast is also good for weekend
Bought some garlic yesterday for planting , can't believe it is that time of year
Gardengirl Woolston garden project sounds very worth good
Hi All, had a good couple of hours at the plot yesterday.
cut the grass paths and ended up using scissors to trim up the edges (sad but true!!) I must get some shears lol. Looks very neat now! did lots of weeding and pulled out some of the sweetcorn plants that were finished and a few blighty tomato plants. Feels good to be on top of things again!!
I am stock piling bags of horse muck, every time I go to the stables, I get 3-4 bags in the boot and drop them off ready for digging in in the winter.
Just been to Homebase, they had some bargain autumn raspberry plants for £2.50 but didnt buy any as I have one already and cant keep up with it!! (I pick a punnet full every day) Bought a 6 pack of white Cyclamens and a Heuchera instead for the garden. Heuchera was a bargain at £2.50!
Did'nt see any garlic for sale yet GWRS, dont have room for planting yet so will have to wait till later in the year.
GWRS horse manure that is good - remember the marshmallows for the bonfire
Ginagibbs I need to go to Homebase for garden waste bags
Went to the allotment into shop ordered some scaffold boards as they are ordering in some want them for the raised beds in the garden so when they get them I will have to saw up to fit in car and take home
Done a bit of digging - cleared a bit of a hump filled a garden waste bag havested some leaf beat
Found some frogs on the plot so goodie they are medium size
Spotted some new people looking around plot on corner 2 men hope they do some good stuff on that plot and get somewhere with it and don't give up too easy
Not been to the plot for a while, ankles fine now so got lots done.
Cut down mini pop plants, 3 wheel barrows full before it started to rain. Cleared plants in GH, picked the last toms and peppers and hung chilli plants up to dry.
We've not had a muck delivered all yr so went off and found a farm giving it away. Got 6 bags, it's not rotted down though, can it still be used if the bed isn't going to be planted in until Spring..
Hi all, had a lovely few hours at the plot yesterday, weather was gorgeous. Cleared out the sweetcorn,and some more tomato's that had finished, and did some mowing (again) Planted some pak choi. Found a frog hiding under the cabbages, hope he will eat all my snails now the chickens have gone.
Glad your ankles are better Zoomer, you must be so glad to get back on your feet!
