    Happy just to give unless you have any surplus, I do have lots of seeds though both flowers and veg as I get free packets from mags.

  • Zoomer I will have a look through seeds and see then let you know

    Was horrible at allotment earlier the wind so strong (really really bad) took two hours to put the tarpaulin back on roof of shed and tie on - every time we got it somewhere the wind would take it back

    Harvested a few potatoes and covered dug area with carboard and bark chippings

    how has the weather been in your area?

  • Hi all, weather was awful about mid day yesterday, I was half way through planting my onion sets when the rain and wind came over, had to retreat into the poly tunnel, thought it was going to take off!!!image

    Finally, when it had blown over, the rest of the day was clear blue sky, so got a lot done. Pruned gooseberry bushes ,finished planting onions, dead headed strawberry patch and dug up my celery ( not so good this year, covered in brown patches!) Even managed to mow the paths, so all looking ship shape!  no big jobs left to do now except carry on harvesting and digging in more manure. Got a few projects to do at home now, so will get on with those.image

    Hello , we have visitors coming this weekend , did originally intend to do jobs on allotment 

    Starting to slip behind with jobs I wanted to do before weather turns nasty 

    Ginagibbs sounds like you are on top of things 

    Hope weather holds for Gardengirl to finish the shed

  • Thaks GWRS busy for you then - Going to go to allotment plot and try to take pallets apart for the last out side wall, dry out but cold

    Ginagibbs my celery got brown patches on but made the sticks bigger with tomato feed - think I will make batches of soup with it and freeze it

    Zoomer looked though seeds and have lots of cape gooseberry seeds if you some?
