Yana - yana

[Jay-ell]

I've got onions, shallots, carrots, parsnips, radishes, salsify, scorzonera, Hamburg parsley, winter squash, summer squash, courgettes beetroot, kale, collards, sprouts, runner beans amd french beans in at the minute.

I've also got rhubarb growing


Next I have to move the centre path 18" to 2' to the right, demolish the beds on the other half of the plot, rebuild the 2' tp the right and prep under the new fence for my fruit bushes.

Wow, you must be well happy.
Note:- Rhubarb looks like it could do with some manure/compost, if you have a spare 2 minutes.

[veggiechicken]

Unrecognisable, jay-ell You'll soon be ready to take on another shanty town makeover challenge.

[Jay-ell]

the rhubarb is growing from under the greenhouse/shed so it's "dismantle greenhouse, manure rhubarb, rebuild greenhouse" - this gardening malarkey is real simple isn't it

[Jay-ell]

By the way, if you look at the photo of the bean bed you can see how I'm doing some of the paths.


The path is 2 foot wide with a central section of bricks and soil down the side planted up with penny royal and purple creeping thyme to make an aromatic path. I've got. few hundred seedlings on the go of both plants plus load of chamomile so I'll be able to plant up more paths, but probably not enough bricks. Pennyroyal is supposed to be an insectifuge as well as attracting hover file with its flowers and lightening your senses when eliminating along th e paths. The thyme is supposed to do similar things with cabbage root fly.

I almost forgot the cucumbers, melons and cucamelons in the blow away as well as the sweet peppers, chillies, aubergine and tomatoes which are in the greenhouse waiting potting up, plus a couple of gutters of peas and broad beans.

Well I think I have a day off next week so I guess I'll be busy that day shifting all those flag stones. Gonna need the next four bed pretty darn soon.

It's been a while but I've finally got around to doing an update. This time I'm going to do it in the medium of Nohtheatre.

Noh I'm not. I've made an update video whilst playing with my new laptop.

..............and they weren't wrong
Brilliant - loved the music. Just one teeny tiny criticism - I didn't spot any dolphins

[Snadger]

A man of many talents wor Jason! You have done really well on a plot that resembled downtown Soweto when you took it on!

Those pumpkins are the star though (and I'm not jealous!)

Got no sound.....did I miss much?

[veggiechicken]

The music was the best bit - Jay-ell playing the funeral march and then singing in his best deep voice.
I know it was him, whatever anyone else may think!

[Jay-ell]

It was a little bit of Chopin followed by Louis Armstrong (this means that the vid can't be played in Germany apparantly)

[Snadger]

One of my fav songs is Sachmo's Wonderful World. For some reason puts a tear in my eye every time I hear it.

[muddled]

Excellent video....made me chuckle!
That's amazing progress in a few short months....puts my plot to shame...

and yeah, Louis makes me well up anorl!
