Re: Perchy's Pottager Patch 2012
It is Jannie, we have always been careful with water, but this really is taking its toll, it has been so hot, am trying to make sure everything has had a good water before its gone in and then when in re watered, asked Mr P to do it in the morning before it gets warm. Will try and get some more bits done this week but have a heavy schedule with work etc will keep at it! Re: Perchy's Pottager Patch 2012Have had an hour in the greenhouse and tried to get it into some sort of order, it does seem to be getting there, potted on tomatoes and peppers and the cucumber, I have 3, sowed 6 so not too bad, plenty for us, have a few strawberries, the ones outside are coming along too
It does seem to be growing, making sure only what needs watering is getting watered as I keep saying, it is getting there x
Re: Perchy's Pottager Patch 2012of course it is Perchy

Re: Perchy's Pottager Patch 2012I bet you're glad to see the rain today Perchy!! ..It's all looking lovely, so you can sit back with a nice Bacardi & Coke tonight and take a well earned rest
Re: Perchy's Pottager Patch 2012
what do you mean? The rain has had an amazing effect in such a short time, and the water butt has some in too, I have buckets everywhere in case it rains whilst I am out I only have a few more bits to opt on for now and then can sit back for a couple of days, Re: Perchy's Pottager Patch 2012No pics I am afraid have been busy on another bit of the garden, however, I have planted out sweetcorn today and had a good weed and tidy, today has been the first day it hasn't rained!! I will get some pics tomorrow, it is looking tidy, although I think my potatoes must taste of sweetcorn
Re: Perchy's Pottager Patch 2012Love your little helpers Perchy.

They are such good little gardeners Just a few more pics, steadily growing I wish we would get some warmer weather, really could do with it now Re: Perchy's Pottager Patch 2012We had a terrible storm last night and the downpour and wind have taken their toll on the broad beans and potatoes, they have been sent reeling to the floor, it was too wet to do anything about it after work today and so tomorrow looks like tidying up if the weather holds, feel a bit disheartened seeing it tonight but am sure I will be able to save some this is probably the hardest challenge where the garden is concerned, we really do need some warmer weather.
Oh good news the HOSEPIPE ban has been lifted for us will probably need to use it in 2013 when the garden has dried out Re: Perchy's Pottager Patch 2012Oh lucky you!! Southern water has lifted their ban but South East haven't. I have just been online to find out who I am with.....
Perchy, I had my dumpling squash plant squashed ( ) last night by the torrential rain too. My fault for planting it out too early. Helen xx

Re: Perchy's Pottager Patch 2012I was drowned too Perchy, I hope you manage to save some things in the garden.
This weather is Re: Perchy's Pottager Patch 2012
I am really fed up with it now, it is getting beyond a joke, I will not give up yet, although feel like it |
