Plot 18 now Plot 42E & 42W

Not much done on the plot apart from
taking photos of the black bird feeding it’s babies,oh and planting some primrose plants someone was throwing away.

Few more pics from the greenhouse.

Been a few time to the plot and not really done a lot apart from repotting a few things,still have a few things to repot so will do them over the next few days. The cabbages / swedes / turnips, and sprouts don’t look that good at the moment,I planted them our over the last 3 weeks. Since I’d put them out its been windy/raining/sunshine so most of them are laying down,I did get told that they will pick up over time so I hope so.

I think I may of over done it in tomato plants which i repotted,I think I have about 16 plants I know once I get some toms on them I will end up scoffing them anyway. I’ve took some pictures of the seeds groins on the greenhouse,some of the seeds are mine and some are Keith’s.

I’ve not forgotten to blog just just been a tad busy and falling asleep, I’ve been to the plot and done a few bits. It’s either wet or dry no happy medium,everything getting bigger in the greenhouse and needs to get out out. I’ve started to repot a lot of the seeds already growing,but running out of space in the greenhouse. This is a live post straight from the plot.

Red Drumhead cabbages repotted.

My Pumpkin seeds are coming through all of a sudden, never tried it before so try something new once it grows. Sunflower seeds are saying hello on the greenhouse,as for radish which never grew last year but ok this. Last year I put in the soil direct and it got eaten by flies,this year it’s in greenhouse in a drainpipe and it works.

Few more pics of the ducks.

We had a little visit today from a pair of ducks, i had to crawl on my belly to get some pictures. Will have to do 2 posts to get the ducks on,Keith’s been waiting for weeks to take a photo of the ducks. The day the ducks came Keith didn’t have his camera ready.

Had a few hours at the allotment so I thought I would do some more on the pond, I collected some wood up from around the plot and tried to build a frame around the bath, I not good at woodwork but it has made it look a little better. Going to make a path to the pond out of some pavers, the pavers has concrete stuck to the bottom of them but I removed it. I should of painted the wood first but will have to do it some other day.

Only been to the plot few times over the last few days,well when it’s not been raining anyway. I got a little done but could of done more I’d I put my mind to it,but at least I got something done. I sowed some parsnips straight into the soil direct like I did last year, I’ve also got some growing in tubs in the greenhouse which need to plant out.i also put out a row of Manchester turnips vs and got them covered up, just hope the turnips are still standing when I go back.
Oh I forgot I dug up my last leeks which I had forgotten about only ones that are left are the ones going to seed.

Went to the allotment for a couple of hours today just to sow some seeds,I did manage to sow some and cut some of the weeds down along the fence. I managed to sow some,Courgettes,Dwarf French beans,sweetcorn earlibird,sunflower seeds and a another row of carrots Nantes covered with compost.

In the greenhouse my toms are popping through and peppers, also a couple of cucumber plants are starting to
Show also the chilli plants are making an entrance also.
