The Constant Gardener's Allotment: It's a mucky business

http://lottiemania.blogspot.com/2008/03/its-mucky-business.html

The Constant Gardener's Allotment. Tuesday, March 11, 2008. It's a mucky business. I visited my compost bins for the first time this season today, and to my horror realised the one I'm filling is miles from the top, and I've already used up all the rotted stuff from last year. My third one is empty altogether, and growing a healthy crop of nettles through the bottom. Wood shavings are fine in principle, but I find that when they're applied as a mulch they're far too acid - I've lost the crops through ste...

The Constant Gardener's Allotment: Taking cover

http://lottiemania.blogspot.com/2008/03/taking-cover.html

The Constant Gardener's Allotment. Thursday, March 13, 2008. When the weather's at its worst - and let's face it, it has been for the last week or so - this is where I retreat to. It's my greenhouse, technically speaking not on the allotment but in my back garden. I did experiment with raising seeds in my allotment greenhouse, but I couldn't reliably get up there often enough and lost a lot when the weather turned warm. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Veg and fruit varieties. Its a mucky business.

The Constant Gardener's Allotment: May 2007

http://lottiemania.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

The Constant Gardener's Allotment. Thursday, May 17, 2007. Strawbs on the way. At last I got around to weeding the strawberries today: they were sprouting thistles by the time I got to them, so they've been a bit neglected, but fortunately I've shoved so much manure and compost into the beds that the soil is about the best on the allotment and the weeds just jumped out. Tuesday, May 15, 2007. Planting, planting, planting. This time of year I abandon everything else in the rush to get my baby plants into ...

The Constant Gardener's Allotment. Monday, January 21, 2008. First planting of the year. Remember those broad beans. I sowed last year? Can't wait till harvest! Roll on summer, that's what I say.

One Man And His Dig: March 2008

http://onemanandhisdig.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

One Man And His Dig. Monday, 31 March 2008. Men in flat caps. Did the young Humphrys have to support his family even before he left school? Things must have been tough in Cardiff back in those days: did he fit his veg-digging activities in between shifts down the pit? I think we should be told. I must admit I had never heard of this method, for perhaps obvious reasons. If anyone feels like trying it on, I would be most interested in hearing about the results. Tuesday, 18 March 2008. Perhaps the eviction ...

Oriental Vegetable Garden (自留地): Success with Coriander 香菜

http://orientalvegetables.blogspot.com/2007/09/success-with-coriander.html

Oriental Vegetable Garden (自留地). Success with Coriander 香菜. Coriander is my favourite herb, yet I’d never had luck growing them well in my own garden; with the 2 varieties of seeds I bought from a garden Centrum, they either produce little leaves or set seeds too quickly. I had never in my wildest dreams expected my corianders to be this abundant! Lessons learnt: sow them in successions every 2 to 3 weeks to ensure longer harvesting. 订阅： 帖子评论 (Atom).

AGROPOLIS NOW Zone 6 Community Garden. Vegetable gardening in a small community garden plot in New Brunswick NJ, in zone 6. Friday, May 9, 2008. Nothing to do but watch time lapse videos. Lettuce- Start to Finish. I actually have plenty else to do. Links to this post. Sunday, May 4, 2008. Why, oh why, must April showers coincide with the busiest 2 weeks of the semester? Worse, it is now absolutely time to do the planting for warm-season vegetables, and we are not ready! Around the Garden, 5/2/08. Clean u...

AGROPOLIS NOW Zone 6 Community Garden: March 2008

http://gardenzone6.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

AGROPOLIS NOW Zone 6 Community Garden. Vegetable gardening in a small community garden plot in New Brunswick NJ, in zone 6. Sunday, March 30, 2008. Today I had the pleasure of planting strawberries in a patch that I had planted with winter rye last fall. Unlike the hard, dry bare soil in the rest of the garden, the soil where the rye had been was moist and soft. I left as much of the broken-up rye roots in the soil as possible (that's where the nitrogen has been fixed). Links to this post. I've had a nag...
