What Jobs Are We Doing in the Garden Today... MK3.. 2013

What!!!! The insurance companies get you every way!!

 

Well, first thing this morning (around 6am to be precise) I was tip-toeing around the very quiet garden to harvest some tomatoes to take to a colleague at work, and as I was picking some of the outdoor Ailsa Craigs there was a noise from the greenhouse that nearly gave me a heart attack
turns out that it was one of the bamboo canes holding up a cucumber plant that could take no more (probably the three growing cues near the top of the plant) and broke clean in half - the resulting descent of the cucumber plant sent a Caribbean pepper for a gentle roll across the greenhouse floor.

I temporarily put things back to rights before heading off to work, however had to do a more permanent tie-up job on them when I got home; then it was more milk solution treatment (that will teach me for closing the windows for a couple of nights), and then on to watering.

 

Ooooh, shingles is really painful by all accounts - hope you get well soon @Lea

 

Wish you better, Lea

I spend about an hour a day picking beans and, yesterday, dug up all the onions and some of the garlic. The bugs have been leaving the veggies alone but have happily chomped away at me. Unfortunately, I react badly to the bites and am covered in blisters

There is some lovely rain at the moment, so no work out there apart from bean picking.
