I am back computer went in for a service - so had no way of getting on internet
Well was at the show on Saturday entered my flowers and cake, I got two 2nd's for my annuals and perennials 2 sorts of flowers, and the cake summer fruits got no where - non of the cakes got 1st, 2nd or 3rd only one got highly recommended - out of 4 cakes, I thought mine looked fab and should of had a prize tasted good too cheated out of one
The judge said to one cake that apple is not a summer fruit
Been to allotment today as nice and dry so got the strimmer out and cut a lot down, also played with my new tool a lawn edging one along the front of the plot. harvested a big patty pan
Great time scroggin I sowed grass seed last Sunday and it has been watered in loads
Hello , back off hols , have been lucky with weather lots of rain but of an evening , so not really effected
Gardengirl , well done with show , I would have thought apple was a summer fruit too ! I bet it tasted great?
I been cuttings lawns and tidying up garden , o/h tidied g/h and went to plot , lots of veg picked , looks like the weeds have grown , hoping to go up there Sunday and dig up main spuds ?
Hello GWRS, I have been cutting the grass at home as well had to use the strimmer as grass got a little long
Went to the allotment today small bit of weeding, looking at the plots chickens near by giving them grass
Judges going to be looking at Woolston garden project on Tuesday as we have been short listed so will have to get there and de weed a bit before and be there on Tuesday
Picked some cucamelons to have first lot this year
Got tomato blight in garden so cleared stuff away put into gw bin
Gardengirl, sorry to hear toms had blight , how did you chick peas do ? Unfortunately ours was in a raised bed and have not done well due to lack of watering while we have been away , the way it goes !
Been to allotment and dug up main spuds ? , really good size but a bit scabby
Some courgettes as big as marrows ?
Going to use green manure on 3 larger beds , will let you known how it goes
GWRS chick peas doing ok don't think they are ready yet the pods are not full like pea pods get
Scroggin lots of stuff to harvest, good your are going to get butternut squash
Went to the allotment today bit of staking of apple tree and bit more weeding, noticed little baby pumkins appearing
Forgot to say for best allotment comp I came 23rd out of 23 plots with 100 points so hoping to improve alot of a lot for next year to get best improved trophy that they are going to introduce next year
Everyone sounds busy, some good harvests, not sure if my 2nd earliest had blight or just died back naturally. They had flowered. I've taken all the foilage off, will dig them up later in the week.
Collected about 45 flag Stones off my brother yesterday. The guy on next plot helped, we used his van so he got enough for a shed base. Noticed today he is going to put it right up against the fence blocking all the light off some of my fruit bushes...?..not sure what to do about that...
I donated some slabs to the committee too, for a bar-b-cue area and kept about a dozen.
Zoomer what size will the shed be ? by the slabs and will it block all the light in the day, my black currant at mo in pot was in prt shade i garden and fruit ripened
I've tried e-mailing the committee but the mail keeps bouncing back. The plants will be in total shade, they already compete with a huge birch tree on the other side.
I'm sure he hasn't realised it will block the light.

Great that you got some slabs
It"s a double doored shed, at least 6 by 6.
