Tree pruning
Mon, 2005-10-17 05:30 — chrisLawn
Sat, 2005-06-25 13:19 — chrisFinally the new lawn has grown enough to mow. And we can use it as a garden :)
As well as mowing, the other half the garden has been prepared, chalked and had grass seed put down - so - in a few weeks the lawn should cover both halves.

Veg on the way
Fri, 2005-05-13 15:03 — chrisTomatos - going well. Cucumbers - just repotted from 3" to 5" pots - hopefully planting both of these out within the month. Cauliflower? Well - I have no idea what they're supposed to look like but at the moment they look like giant cress.

Cucumbers cucumbers
Tue, 2005-04-19 07:47 — chrisThis year we'll see if we can get the cucumbers (F1 burpless tasty green) to stay healthy and not just get leggy/stringy and die.
Found a link that says not to pluck the mail flowers and to remove the main stem once 6 leaves have grown.

Planting time
Mon, 2005-04-18 19:44 — chris12 onions in (from seed during the week) and 35 sweetcorn plants sown today (again from seed). Digging over the plot has started - but still lots of old thick treeroots to remove. It should be finished in time for planting out though.
