What I Did Today (Undercover)

[jasyk34]

I like that strawbs bed, very neat and tidy

Thanks. Quite pleased with them. I have used wood that I had in scavenged from pallets and n old decking and lined in the inside with plastic on the inside to extend the life of the wood.

Planted some silverbeet and tomato seeds for my windowsill salad experiment and gave the outside seedlings a feed of seaweed extract and fertiliser.

Today was quite busy I sowed a tray of sweet pea for next year into toilet roll pots. I also picked the last of my cherry tomatoes in the greenhouse and they ripened up nicely and then composted the plants.

I also put weed suppressing membrane down on my new strawberry raised bed to keep weeds down and cats from making deposits and covered with netting to keep birds off.

Rocket and Mizuna were running to seed too quickly to keep picking so ate the last yesterday and turfed them out. Planting chillies, toms and aubergines as gaps become available.

Checked over mini tunneled raised bed, radish and carrots showing signs, also white beetroot popping up.

Yesterday- took off the fleece from my poly spuds and the Rocket and Casablanca are showing through so gave them a good water. No sign of the Epicure yet though..


Duchy starting to look good now, they got a water as well, should come romping on with the warmer and lighter days. I've removed the cloche now.

[Mr Bones]

Potted on last years rosemary cutting and left it in the tunnel. Also sowed rocket and planted a few ellie garlics in the tunnel.

And just realised I posted this on the wrong thread! Just about Summs up my day!

I'm off to bed!

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

Sorry! Ain't had time to catch up! But will if I can!

A day from "Hell"

A load from the docks arrived! Not in best condition, only to find out it was stopped by customs full of immigrants, a mess! Yeah! Say no more! We all have to go somewhere! I'll Leave it at that!

Then it now comming upon March, seed sowing season, thought I'd nip into my garden "Buddies" for a catch up as to the plan for the year, being winter, we all seem to "ibinate" n seem to loose touch!

He's been diagnosed with alsorts, although I Know from years of Working outside being a builder, arthritis was setting in!

But has "Ticks" Where you twitch uncontrollably and has to go for a brain scan, Was really, really uncomfortable to see! And I really wish him all the very best!

But on a plus note! Have a "Post Office" attempt card, marked "Deano" so can only presume it is some prize awarded by GYO and you guys for my "Momship"

Right! I'm done!

Tomorrow's another day!

This week to do! Then off 9 days! "Bring It On"

Almost put this in the vegetable section then realised I hadn't done anything with veggies today...just flowers and succulents.

Potted nine houseleeks into bigger pots as I just realised the other day that I bought them last year....no wonder they were looking a touch cramped in their pots! A couple had offshoots so I ended up with 14 individual plants which I plan to either put in an alpine trough or, more likely, have on top of the Bug Hotel I intend to build this year.



Cut down Bill MacKenzie clematis (bought for just �1 last year I didn't realise it would grow so rampantly!!!) and moved it *temporarily* into a large pot until I sort out a permanent spot for it. The Alchemilla mollis at it's base was also dug up and replanted ~ for now ~ into the tunnel.



Took photos of the five different types of ground cover plants I bought as plugs last year and mixed up before I could label them (Silly Girl!!!). Thankfully I made a note of the varieties so later on tonight I'll look them up online and match my photos with the ones on t'internet!

Usually I just fit stuff into my little greenhouse as and when, but today I entertained myself by drawing a little plan of where stuff will go (once all the outdoor stuff has been planted out). So I thought I'd show you:

[bramble]

Sowed Sweet Pea seeds about a week ago and they have germinated.
Planted 3 Daffodil bulbs that were given to me on Sunday in memory of my mother at her nursing home service.
i will call these Daffodils " Nancy" after my mam.

[TrysHard]

Got shot of loads of plants on a stall in aid of a local dogs rehoming centre - now got the room to reorganised the GH added 2 large troughs for Toms etc - picked some salad leaves ate said leaves so non for lunch -.
