RE: New RSFLF Challenge. :D - Veggie - 28-12-2021
Tuesday - Sowed Blue Solaise leeks in a pot in GH and Babington leek bulbils in a tray.
The Mizuna seeds were Sow by 2017!!! maybe too late for these little fellas. Still, every seed deserves a chance so some went in a tetrapak and the remainder in a GH bed behind the lettuce.
Modules filled with compost ready for tomato sowing tomorrow - modules in the kitchen warming up in readiness. Propagator set up in bedroom.

Hello again. this year has flown by and, as you predicted, I failed to keep this up for long. Undaunted, I shall try again with a tweak
I'm going to find one of the many out of date diaries I acquired and write in it what I should be doing each week - a schedule of work to do rather than a record of what I've done (or not done).
I really must try harder.
RE: New RSFLF Challenge. :D - Veggie - 18-09-2022
Right, I've started.
Written up the next 4 weeks schedule of work. Tomorrow I sow a bucket of carrots and some radish (summer and winter). Also, I have to harvest a root to eat (carrot, potato).
There's an extra task too! Since I no longer have 30 beds, I've "divided" the garden into 4 long strips, running west to east.
Week 1 = the north strip along the fence
Week 2 = the adjacent strip to the south
Week 3 = the next strip to the south of 2
Week 4 = the south strip alongside the other fence.
Each week I'll concentrate the weeding efforts on one strip instead of hopping about from one to the other.
The weekends are for catching up on tasks I may have missed and for working on the garden nearest the house which isn't part of the Strip system.
I trust that clear! If there are any questions, ask someone else.

Roots Day done - Big Tick.
Eskimo carrots in a trough, Hailstone Radish in GH2 and all the old Winter radish seeds scattered on the Veg plot....and I pulled a carrot out of a bucket for my dinner.
Shoots Day tomorrow - something from the onion, spring onion, chives collection.
RE: New RSFLF Challenge. :D - Veggie - 20-09-2022

^^^ the neighbours would be more alarmed than I would.
For Shoots Day I've sown White Lisbon spring onions, White Welsh onions, Pak choi and Michihili Chinese cabbage.
Fruits Day tomorrow - Peas.
RE: New RSFLF Challenge. :D - Veggie - 21-09-2022
For Fruits Day I've sown Bijou mangetout peas in 5 tomato pots in the GH and picked tomatoes and apples.
Tomorrow is Leaves and I'll be sowing Lettuce, Rocket and Cut and come again salad leaves in the guttering in GH2.
RE: New RSFLF Challenge. :D - Veggie - 23-09-2022
Flowers & Herbs Friday.
Sowed Clarkia, Calendula, Californian Poppies and Cornflowers in a new bed in the North Strip. Also sowed Cerinthe and Calendula, Chives & Garlic Chives in modules in the GH.
Potted up Snail begonia, Tarragon and Christmas cactus cuttings.
Tomorrow is Catch up day (maybe some more North Strip clearance) and some work on the Home garden. A bit more of the same on Sunday.
RE: New RSFLF Challenge. :D - Veggie - 24-09-2022
North strip clearance today - pruning fruit bushes and digging up brambles and nettles, cutting down apple mint and lemon balm. I've rediscovered a path!!
