Gardengirl will you get your shed finished before winter ?
GWRS as the Winter Solstice December 21, 11:28 A.M.EST found on a website, so still have a little while yet, I hope to get it mostly done fingers crossed
I have done more today on shed after getting more wood planks - so now I have 2 walls boarded half way and sanded
Sure cold wind today
Scroggin I bet I will have to cut the grass again yet
Zoomer if you join the committee you would get your input into the site I guess and have meetings, which would not be bad as long as you have the time, good if people don't mind the committee on your site and you don't have haters like some sites
Bug hotel sounds good should cut my sunflower heads down
Scroggin, i did sow broadbeans direct in ground last year and started some in pots in cold GH, i would say that they both did equally as well in the end. My first batch of french beans and runner beans in the GH all got eaten by mice, nice neat little holes in all the pots, hence ended up sowing direct. Do you have trouble with mice? Do you put closh over your beans to protect from frost, snow? Do you get a better crop sowing now? Sorry lots of questions and a hijacking of the thread ?
Thank you scroggin, touchwood i have never had a problem with black fly. I always nip the tops out before any sign of them and we have those tops steamed for dinner ?
Broad beans are pretty hardy plants, I sow peas in trays and keep in plastic greenhouse most do ok in there, the peas I sowed up allotment all gone think they may have been eaten - you could cover the pots with chicken wire or net
Scroggin I feel like I want to do digging but trying to sort shed out
Zoomer That sounds a good idea see what meeting are like
Here is a video I uploaded trying different editing programme
Hello all , good day yesterday at plot , the sun even come out in the afternoon
Prepared bed for last lot of onions and got beds ready for broad beans and peas for direct sewing but covered by cloches , Hoping to spend Sunday there
Rough dug the 2 big beds that had the green manure in , hopefully it will rot down over the winter
Took all the unripened figs off , such a shame
As ever lots of other little jobs done
Sprouts looking patheticly small
Sounds like we are all getting ready for winter ❄️

Harvest some celery today from plot, Sanded more planks today and cut up ready for the back wall of the shed
Did a small bit of clearing in the garden one raised bed emptied
Gg. I've been invited to the next committee meeting so hopefully that will give me an idea of what they do.
Whilst I like having the plot I'm not sure I'd like it if I was on the committee, I haven't committed myself yet .
Scoggins , thanks for reminding me , Broad Beans under clouches
So much to do before bad weather hits
