Christian Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Um, Christian - don't quite know how to say this . . . but Murray announced that he'd dug up and peeled the artichokes ready for dinner.

Valkyrie Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 My Gladstones are coming up now - need to sow more! Didn't sow anything this weekend, but we cleared an island bed, fenced it off (see girls fume) and planted 5 blackcurrant bushes - now have loads of room to plant more fruit.

chickencam Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Lots of peas some for pods and some for shoots. Potted on some celeriac plants Planted onions at the allotment on Friday Bought 9 tomato plants and 6 pepper plants on Saturday, now all potted on and looking good. some salad leaves and baby carrots from the BBC Dig In free seeds. We are hoping to get down to the allotment late this afternoon to do some spuds. I also potted on the cuttings of my hardy fuscia that have been on the kitchen window ledge all winter and my variagated busy lizzy cuttings too. They are outside now, so will have to take the chances with the chilly nights. I can;t put them in the greenhouse because they had a bit of white fly I have sprayed them but don't want to take any chances with my new toms.

emchook Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I have just sown some sunflowers seeds .. Fancy ones this year as the giants never grow .. or even germinate for that matter.. Fingers crossed for these ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinesupernova Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 made a start on planting my onion seeds. Never got round to garlic yet this year and am still just digging the beds. Found a several bulbs of garlic I must have missed last year and are now looking like spring onions, so lifted and divided and replanted those !

Guest Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I sowed some swiss chard (bright lights) and ramsons wild garlic seeds today. the chard is in a big pot and i can't wait for the rainbow of colours to appear. I planted the wild garlic around the wood pile at the bottom of the garden as it likes damp conditions and it will just carry on seeding itself once established.
