February 2016

Weekending 7th February 2016
Planted various bits and bobs in the greenhouse - will get a list sorted!


Weekending 14th February 2016
Went and cut down the raspberry canes at the plot and did a bit of tidying up.  Got paraffin heater going in the greenhouse and got peas planted.


Raspberry canes - pea sticks?

Spuds chitting - strawb runners ready for second metre square on lotty.
Can't remember what all this is - need to make a list!
Dinky paraffin heater - taking the edge off the frost.

Peas in guttering

Went down lotty to help with planting hedge along the Watery lane side.  Before anyone else arrived I took a barrow full of garden waste down to the recycling centre then helped until 11:30 with planting the hedge.    Did a bit of work in the greenhouse tidying up and thinking about how I'm going to partition the greenhouse off to make best use of the parrafin heater.   Did a load of measuring and think I'm going to either use some of that duct pipe to make a triangular frame or some cheapo wood if I can set some really thin rubbishy stuff.  Might just have a walk up to the warehouse at work and see if anything's being chucked.

Took a tub and 3 slabs down to the lotty and that's about it!!   Did a load in greenhouse though - got a partition up so now it's kind of like a 6 x4' greenhouse with a heater in it and a 6' x 6' un heated greenhouse on the other side.

Cauliflowers, peas, beetroot, french beans - everything beginning to pop up now which is good.  Sweet peas continue to look a bit ace.


Cauli's making an apperance

Sweet peas thriving - must feed em this week. 

Did some cabbages and purple broccoli as well this weekend - found out that you have to leave purple broccoli until the following year as well  - which is a shame as we dug it up at the end of the main season the first time I had a go!!
