Greenhouse getting full.

Everything is getting bigger and better in the greenhouse now and a lot needs potting on, I've done some if it already just a few left to do. Also sown a lot more seeds this weekend and sown some seeds that wasn't doing well,I put most of them in modular trays apart from the beans which I put I cardboard tubes.



The new seeds I planted this weekend was Swede Ruby,swede best of all,dwarf French beans, cucumber telegraph,burpless cucumber, and cabbage primo, I have a few left to sow then have a look whats not growing then re-sow some more.


I need to keep on top of the weeding at the top end of the allotment,around the greenhouse and pond area. We had a little rain and if like magic the weeds appear, i just need to spend a few hours weeding before these get out of hand.


Over a year ago I bought some raspberry bushes and planted them as two plants,not knowing i had to separate them and plant them singly.Now that I did its took over a year for 12 sticks to turn into 4 raspberry plants,I know I may of lost 8 but at least I have some. The others may grow I've been told so fingers crossed these do,so hoping its been worth the wait for these plants to grow.


The new greenhouse is still standing and just needs some guttering sorting to catch any rain,only problem I've had is its got a bit dry inside and some chaps are taking the Micky. One chap has said he likes the crazy paving inside the greenhouse,then says when am I going to finish it of with putting sand in the cracks. I do need to finish it but just getting things sorted in other greenhouse first and planted,then I will crack in with it again.

I have been this week.

Been to the allotment a few times this week but not had chance to blog it, so will make up for it now and will blog later when i go this afternoon. The sugar snap peas are coming through so i have put some netting around them to stop the birds from taking them, also put some netting over my Red cabbage - sprouts and turnips to fend of the birds.My Dwarf beans are not looking very good every since i put them in the soil its been windy every since and all the leaves have come off, so i have 2 rows of bare stems of beans hopefully they will grow back.
I have managed to plant 6 tom plants in grow bags inside the green house and 3 plants in a grow bag at home, so that leaves me with 3 more plants to sort out.  I have re potted the courgettes this week into bigger pots because they getting to big for the pots they in at the moment, only due to sowing them quite early and putting too many in to grow at once have learnt my lesson so a little at a time.

Been Busy

Not blogged for a little while been a little busy at work but i have been to the allotment a few times, but not had chance to update my blog. I have sowed a few more things this week some in the greenhouse and some straight into the ground, sowed cauliflower into pots and swede straight into the ground. I have planted my 2nd row of Beetroot which i have been growing in trays, the sweetcorn has started to come through which i sowed a couple of weeks ago. I have done some more weeding and spread out the lettuce which is growing nicely, also planted some more lettuce and radish and put out my Dwarf French beans  i know its early but they getting to big for the greenhouse.
Also planted Red Cabbage - Sprouts - Turnips in the ground which have been growing in the greenhouse not to sure if i have enough of them growing.

Had a great day on the plot.

Been to the allotment today for just over 11 hours and its passed so quickly I know I have chatted for a little while but got a little bit done, even though my neck and arms ache from the sunburn. I managed to get some seeds planted in the soil and some more seed sowed in the green house, also re-potted some of the seed into larger tubs but didn’t go very well. I have planted my 2^nd early spuds which are Maris peer which just leaves me my main ones left to plant, also planted 2 types of radish some old ones from last year called French Breakfast 3 and radish mixed.

I put 4 rows of lettuce in as well 1 row of iceberg which was on a pre seeded tape,2 rows of all the year round lettuce one old stock and one new stock also 1 row of little gem which was old stock will see if I have any luck. I planted some more Dwarf French beans and some more beetroot which I have already growing in the greenhouse. Going to try and get the allotment next week and get the rest of my potatoes in and some more seeds, also try and sort the shed out and get it into some order.
