Good evening all , still no rain water buts at plot and home nearly empty , however , filled up empty water cube at allotment on Sunday and other 2 half full , cost £3-00 for 1000 litres
Bought some sprouts , cauliflower and broccoli from g/c this morning , plus unusual cucumber ? , yellow balls and lemon flavoured?
Unfortunatelty broccoli we grew in g/h finally passed away , to long in g/h while we where on holiday !
Nearly got the beds up to scratch , still got to put in turnips & swedes
Scroggins , sky looks bad
Cutting lawns at home tomorrow and a few garden jobs
Hellodid a small bit of digging at plot till weather came in fast
Went to Hilliers got some sweetcorn plants and some pretty headed cauliflower, saw the yellow cucumber there did try growing it once but it got eaten, Homebase have got lots of veg plants
Scroggin one of my black currants are starting to go black - must of been all that heat
Did a bit of gardening at the garden project, got some plants in, had a good hose around of all the plants - we ended up with a donated hose thanks to another volunteer, so funds we raised at plant sale will go to something else not sure yet
Got a nice bit of turf layed yesterday in garden for bit of ground to garage hope it takes at a £1 a turf a bargain

Gardengirl , problem with Black currants seems strange ?
Scroggin your cues are doing well, mine have only just germinated. Courgettes and squash have also just germinated,, no sign of Pumpkin's yet.
Anyone else running out of room to plant out? What I've still to plant out takes up loads of ground...sweetcorn, mini pop, courgettes etc...
Didn't get chance to start new thread over weekend.
The leaves on some of my spud plants are beginning to curl up!
