RE: Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night! - Veggie - 05-07-2020
Happy Sunday - can't say Sunny Sunday as its not that today. Dry-ish though. Lost a large branch from an ash tree yesterday, Fortunately it didn't damage anything when it came down, fell neatly alongside between the courgettes and raspberry canes and the wildlife hedge (actually, a line of hazel bushes and hawthorn overgrown with brambles) but wildlife hedge sounds as if its intentional.
I'm in the midst of reorganising GH No. 3 - the sowing and potting on GH that is full of heaps of old flowerpots and modules and is a general dumping ground for dying plants.
Have moved the staging from the back wall to the end wall which gives me a lot more floor space - or it would if it wasn't covered with the aforementioned pots.
I'm getting ready for the 6 Pack Challenge tomorrow.

Evening everybody it’s been on and off rain today with winds that would blow you backwards. I had intended planting more of my lavender hedge but it was to wet so I pottered around in the poly tunnel after picking up all the patio furniture from the garden.

Lovely weather here today, but incredibly windy. I was weeding one of the massive beds on my allotment and came across a kale plant from last year that hadn't grown much, but looked ready and raring to go when I took all the weeds away! It made me smile

A windy but partly sunny day. Paul continued cutting privet, I pottered, armpitting and general tomato maintenance. Clipping patch edges, then helping to clear privet clippings. P then mowed them into a mulch to put on compost. Very satisfying to see a huge mound of hedge clippings reduced to a few trug fulls.

Morning, not been on for a while but hope everyone is well!
It’s a lovely sunny day here but quite windy and a wee bit chilly! Can someone remind the weather that it’s July!!!
Off to have a look round to see what I’ve missed so hope you have a great day and will see you later.

Evening, just now it’s the best part of the day winds dropped and the suns out. I’ve re tied my beans the winds given then s good bashing
plus took the majority of the leaves of my sunflowers. Apart from that the gardens looking good plenty of greens, lettuce, radishes and raspberries.

Evening All
Not a lot to report today....feeling a bit under the weather but must not grumble, plenty of poor soles worse off than me. Nice pile of mash will help with few belly pork slices will help.

Some of mine are a bit wrinkled, I have removed the lower ones that became yellow and dead.

Arternoon all.
Just finished potting on my patio pear,plum,cherry and mulberry. I was very surprised how much compost it took and two of the pots took 40 litres each as well as the original compost. The pots kept getting blown over so hopefully the weight of the bigger pots will stop this.
I have one pear on the pear tree and realised I have half a dozen mulberries the size of peas on the mulbery bush. My fan trained apples on the fence are looking really well and I should have a good crop this year.
Did some weeding and general tidying up of pots and surrounds. The Polyanthus that flowered all winter are flowering again, I wonder whether the cold wet weather has fooled them into thinking its Winter again,its certainly fooled me.
I cut the grass and spread grass seed from 2018 all over the lawns. It is probably useless but it will do more good than sitting in the bag.
After walking the dog I may have the energy to do a bit more weeding in the herbaceous borders......we'll see!
