RE: June predictions! - SarrissUK - 03-06-2023
I'm predicting that I won't get that much more done in the garden before I run out of month lol I've made great strides just in the last two weekends though, and I'm hoping to be out in the garden in the evenings after work.
I have stuff to plant out, need to build a frame for the netting for my kale. I'll be happy if I get that done

Hopefully I’ll finish making my hot bin.
I’m really looking forward to seeing Francis E lester rambling rose flower for the first time.
There’s still 2 plants not moved.
Didn’t even look at the hot bin.
my rambling rose is beautiful.

That I'll be picking MT, although my saved Bijou are throwing out yellow pods rather than green, I think my saved seed has got crossed. That I'll have more strawberries than I can cope with. I may even have a tomato.
Penstemon are flowering. MT are nearly over. Strawberries were not as prolific as expected due partly to the phantom strawberry nicker and I had one tomato. Fairly predictable predictions so I don't think I'll win any Nostradamus award.

I'm hoping to pick strawberries, raspberries, courgettes and cucumbers in June. Not confident about any tomatoes this month.
I'm really looking forward to wandering round the garden picking fruit for my breakfast.
The rest came true.
RE: June predictions! - JJB - 01-07-2023
Do we now progress to July predictions which may be an easy one for me. A glut of courgettes, beans and tomatoes. I might get all my flowers planted out. I might even get time to sit in the garden to admire my hard work. I also predict a drought and a scarcity of freezer space. . There may be more predictions as and when they occur to me.

Do we now progress to July predictions? I predict a glut of courgettes, cucumbers, beans and tomatoes and an increasing scarcity of freezer space. I hope rather than predict that I'll have planted out all my flowers, that I'll have time to sit in the garden to enjoy my own hard work. I also predict a drought, or if not a drought, some sort of extreme weather. Most of these are dead certs.

July predictions...............I predict that JJB will repeat herself on Day 1.

I wonder how that happened?
perhaps I just like waffling 
too many cucumbers, you know they repeat on you.

How did everyone’s July predictions go ?
I know I didn’t do one because I failed so miserably with June
But I’m feeling brave so I’ll do an August prediction
.This sounds be a corker! I’ve not got a flipping clue what’s going to happen. I’m not entirely sure what the end of the day will bring let alone the end of the month
I predict:
Pumpkin will grow a bit more.
I’ll dig some spuds.
We’ll do some work on the house ( or bob might have an unfortunate accident
) The vehicle will be working again (it bl@@dy better)
I’d like to plant some more things.
I’d like to start work on hot bin mark 2. Mark 1 has been abandoned .
RE: June & July predictions! - Vinny - 02-08-2023
1) I predict that in August 95% of my time at the plot will be spent weedig.
2) I will process my French bean glut.
3) ) All of my onions will be lifted for drying.
4) My single courgette plant which has performed well will get mildew with all the wet weather.
5) I may get my first tomato.
6) My Daughter will get inundated with brassica's I don't eat.
7) I should get a few boiligns of spuds.
8) Beds will be prepared for elephant garlic planting, autumn planted onions and Spring cabbage planting.
9) First frost will be a possibility
10) Possibly harvest some mooli and a few leeks
11) Spinach will hopefully grow a bit more to make it worthwhile harvestig some
12) Because of cold/damp weather I will be burnig more of my seasoned timber procured for Winter on woodburner
