Just finished 'operation cover up' of my potatoes etc ahead of what might be a frost tonight. My tomato seedlings have spent another few hours outside hardening off, forgot to put the sweetcorn with them doh

[NoTWHaTiTWaSNT]

Moved plants out of the greenhouse
Picked up dead slugs and snails
Planted a Peony
Did some weeding
Filled pots ready to plant more seeds tomorrow
Put down more slug pellets
Moved plants back into the greenhouse

Dug up about a mile of bindweed root and ran from a bright yellow spider..

Popped down the lotty after work on way to the chippy (well it is Friday) and played catch the fly away fleece. Covered the potatoes and swiss chard which is still going strong since last summer. Moved everything away from the windows in the greenhouse. Fingers crossed frost wont get this far south.

Weeded around my raspberry canes, planted a few spuds on the abandoned allotment next door (:0 naughty) and sowed some goldenacre cabbage seeds (on my own allotment)

Me too (yesterday) . . . was in two minds as the forecasts were mixed, so went for the safe option and covered them up.

Later today I'll be chopping down my nice healthy green Winter Field Beans, will be a bit of a shock I guess to lose all that greenery back to bare earth.

Yesterday had the tree surgeon look at my trees in the view to chopping some down they've all grown much to large and eventually my garden will become a forest floor if I don't get them removed. A lovely curly willow is going and a couple of ash trees..oh well with a little work I may manage to plant some new ones in during the Autumn.

And think of all those lovely logs

This morning I strimmed the areas of the veg patch that aren't planted up yet but that are getting just a bit too grassy, nettley and dandelion-infested.
Cleaned the glass panes that are over my carrot micro-seedlings.
Put a large piece of card from our new bed delivery over one of the cleared areas.
Planted up a tray of odds and ends for microgreens.

Planted up my hanging baskets! Beautiful gardening weather today..

Got a phone call to say that an allotment has become available and do I still want one? Well, duh! I'm so excited! They only do half plots at this site but apparently it's one of the larger plots and it's only a 2 minute walk from my house. I'm going to have a look at it tomorrow. Finally I will have somewhere to plant all my cauli's and calabrese.

Watch that back, any chance of some wood chippings if I help with tree planting

[WPG]

Quickly weeded round the onions and strawberries, but didn't want to stay out too long....big clouds of mayflies getting everywhere, especially in my hair and down my T shirt. I know they're only harmless, but after a while it felt a bit freaky.

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

Got on with planting what is needed for the "Back Yard" Project! My back is done in!



But happy with results! At least I can gain access to back wall now overwintered stuff moved!



Gear ordered to try fence it out! Shall try get on with that the next few day's!

But tomorrow is a full day on't plot!

Off to eat, drink n be merry!
