Fork’n Monkey Blog Awards & Garden Show

Just a quick mention and link to the Fork’n Monkey Blog Awards of which I was anonymously nominated for 2 of the categories - Proud Parent award (for my little seedlings) and the Green Fingers award. Check out the other nominees here at the Fork’n Monkey blog awards.

The results will be posted on Tuesday but whatever the outcome I’m glad that my blog has become a part of a blogging award ceremony.

Right I’m off to the Essex Garden Show in Brentwood tomorrow and hopefully the weather should hold as cloudy. No doubt the temptation of rows and rows of lovely plants will get the better of me and I will be back home with a boot full!

No Room in Plot for Runner Beans!

As you can see from the picture above, I have not left any room for my runner beans, big oops!

It’s a bit of a logistical nightmare this year as I’ve decided to grow new crops and haven’t quite researched the correct harvesting dates. I had planned to put the runner beans in Plot 3 after the broad beans and peas had finished their crops, however the broad beans and pea pods are only just forming in May and my runners are a week away from needing to go into the ground, doh!

Nothing came up out of the soil with my first sowing of brussels sprouts so luckily i’ve managed to squeeze my dwarf beans into the last scrap of space left so at least thats something.

Solution
I have decided to build another narrower raised bed plot just for the runner beans this year. This will be done next week so I can get then runner beans into the ground.

Week 8 - 5th April 2008 - Veggy Plot Progress Report

The weather was lovely and warm last week with temperatures higher than normal with the thermometers hitting 17 degrees on Friday 4th April 2008, I was happy thinking my seeds will finally get underway with their growing, until today Sunday 6th April where the temperatures dropped off the scale at a frustrating minus 2 degrees centigrade.

Heres a picture of my snowy vegetable plot:
