chickencam Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I did have 5 spare that had to go in another bed with the garlic........ Blimey, I thought we had a lot with 36 and 12 mini sweet corn. Do you freeze them? Yes we do, although we eat a lot as they become ready as well.....and I make relish with them. I mis-counted our sweetcorn, we have 3 lots of 24 not 12, so with the mini sweetcorn we have nearly as many as you. I think I will be needing that relish recipe please We have loads of things ready to plant out, I really don't know what to do with my pumpkins, butternuts and courgettes, they are forecasting cold nights again later this week.

henriette Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Planted the runner beans, but only have 16 poles. Hopefully it should be enough as we have french beans too. Also have some non climbing runner beans so I need to find some containers for them. Not tried them before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unit Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Been busy the past few weekends on our plants - pumpkin, butternut squash, cucumber, grape, chilli's and peppers in the greenhouse. Peas, garlic (over-wintered), lettuce and herbs in the garden! Hoping for a good crop this year - mostly spoiled last year when the weather failed to produce and we got lazy *blushes*. We're more determined this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidsin Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I've re-potted some house plants I propagated from cuttings, and planted out a load of tomato plants kindly donated by a friend with a massive east-facing conservatory (as my chooks ate my own seedlings. They've been netted off this time though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 It's not too late to get courgette plants in, some peas, lots of salad crops etc. In fact almost anything will be fine planted now. A row or two of parsnips for Christmas, Spinach and chard (to keep the hens in greens all winter), sweetcorn, beetroot, swede and kale? Good luck!

I have 10 tomato plants left over that are doing really well, so will take those to the village fete plant stall tomorrow.

Lesley Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Yard Long Beans - I'd forgotten I'd bought the seed so I hope they'e got long enough to grow. They need space in the polytunnel and that is full I also sowed beetroot, carrot and radishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 More radishes and beetroot. Need to get more carrots in. Planted out the kohl rabi from my parents Swede and chard in the mini greenhouse still to go out, but running out of room. Wish the broad beans would hurry up, so I can get other stuff planted.
