Really should try it my self My wife's booked in for radical hysterectomy on 23 October ,so going to cover it up much as possible till spring,I put some well rotten chicken manure down before I covered it so hopefully the worms will pull it down in.And the rabbit will bugger off elsewhere if there's nothing for it to eat.

DIDO.1 20,832 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Finished a couple of raised beds. I'm going to stick some garlic in and plant the strawberry bed up then crack on with the other 12 raised beds! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,569 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Last of my rain bows. Still got a few ordinary one left. The Purple Sprouting is getting bigger and bigger lifting the netting off the hoops. Took the runner beans down, also as my Tomatoes were coming to an end I took a shoot off one of the Sun Gold plants potted it. I stopped it at three trusses which now are full of fruit whether they ripen or not we will see but thought it was worth a try.

They grew edible flowers and all sorts of strange plants fruits etc to supply up end restaurants , they would give me plants to try. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 20,832 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) I've got hundreds of flower bulbs so I went down the allotment with the intention of digging all round the borders and planting bulbs. Unfortunately the entire allotment other than the raised beds is covered in a thick weed proof membrane. This must of been down so long the grass has grown over it. Its got 3" of soil and turf grass over it!! Couldn't dig through it and couldn't pull it up! So I decided to sacrifice one small triangle bed for the bulbs but when I de weeded it it was such good soil I couldn't bring myself to waste it! So I'm still stuck with loads of bulbs!
