Special garden pics for you Dave as you have had to delay your visit 

The ground is a bit wet so I am going to be forced to spend the morning in the workshop

Hi Jo

Ah yes, all beginning to look nice and summery.    What breed are those potatoes between the courgettes? Roosters ? My Mayan Gold are doing reasonably well now but the Sarpo Mira are still only just poking through ....    Yours growing ?? Maybe just a slow variety ??  Damned annoying for all that.

Just put 18 red cabbage plants under a fleece cover ....          What a flamin' crackpot performance. You cannot say there is any appreciable wind but the wretched stuff goes anywhere .  Got some timber coming tomorrow, Might just get some plastic netting and make a frame   


Have a nice slurp    I've seen enough for today, not sure whether to have a  before my shower or after. Might do both, bound to be right then

Hi Dave,

Potatoes: Round the outer edge = Whites/Anyas. First two rows between the courgettes are roosters then next two are the Sarpo Mira  Last row before the path and the other side of the path are more anyas (now with a couple of rogue pots caught running round the onion patch  )

Fleece covers  they are a pain.


The weeds are growing  I've started transplanting out the flower seedlings before someone takes a shine to them and decides I have too many and that they would look better in his garden than mine 

You are right it is time for a  and settle down to watch the F1

Its that time of the year again...Twice today I went into the workshop to find a Monster Hornet flying round 


Don't know what happened to the first one, might have been the same one twice over  The second time I showed it the window so its out now  but they have friends and once you see one....


Sorry no photos - I was too busy keeping out if its way

Harry and Megan are coming to the plot tomorrow......something about some royal weeding ??!!!!

Sad they missed the “nude gardening day” Willie    Jo, those damned hornets are terrible. They feel like being hit by an electrically charged rock.

Hi Jo ,i'm glad the frost didn't get your courgettes a few days ago...seems quite a lot of them or are they something else ??

[Jo]

I do companion planting Willie, the courgettes are inter sown with my potatoes. Both are bullies  and at least you can move the courgettes if they head off for a shade fight with their neighbours. The pots are normally just loosing their foliage when the courgettes move into attempting world veggie patch domination 

That queen European Hornet is still hunting for a new nest site  Last seen heading into my Porkiebin so between her and the horrible weather I have been forced into the workshop 

Jo

P.S. I found out what is attracting her ladyship  its the Elderflowers behind the PorkieBin, European Hornets like the bugs that are on Elderflowers

Seems some of us do engines and gardens. I thought I'd post mine too. Ass veggies and fruit. The flowers are what we call wildflowers, some call them weeds. They seem to help keep the bees around.

Green beans, okra, several varieties of each, tomatoes,  peppers, and squash.

Andy, very nice model. Is that a hot tube ignition?

BTW, that word should have been "assorted", I got a little too much soup on my keyboard a while back.

[Chipmaster]

Yes Maury it's hot tube ignition using a miniature gas ring that surrounds the hot tube and operates at approximately 1-2 psi. It doesn't cope with outdoor breeze, the crude copper windshield helps.

Hi Andy.

Now't like having a Gardner to do the garden?

Cheers Graham.

That's the only reason I cut the lawn, you can loose your engines otherwise

Very nice looking engine, Andy!
