    Yesterday I planted in half my patch, 1 tomato plant, 3 sweetcorn and1 corgette. I now need to seed my carrotts. Looks like I have pretty much missed everything else :doh: There is still a little big of diging where grasses are for my patch but the weather has been horrid on my days off work and nice when I have been working. Yesterday was the first nice day for while on one of my days off.

    Hiya

    Sounds like you have been a right busy bee in your garden, just like me in mine..

    First of all do you have a greenhouse, cause you could have a big of lee way of planting times if you do.. if not.. if you quick you could plant some late runner beans.. but you would have cover the with some glass or clingflim, until the come through, this will give a sort of green house effect. and bring them on a bit quicker..

    http://www.thegardenhelper.com/vegtips.html this site is very good for timing of planeting, sowing, etc.. for furture veg seasons..

    I know have peppers plants, ready to be planeted in the garden.. and first lot of runner beans are just coming up.. gonna try some late parships should be ready by christmas.. hehe..

    Also have discoverd a cherry tree in the garden..

    think at this rate i gonna be making hundreds of pies and jams come end of summer...

    I'll have a look into it for you - we did have a spammer recently that was using a 3g connection so we blocked the ip, it may be that is a shared ip and you're occasionally coming in on the same one..

    I can't see any banned ip's which match any of the ones you have been using, so the best thing to do is to email me via the site:

    http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=contact;sess=

    The next time it happens and I'll then be able to track it down..

    ok, thanks for that.. will email you when it happens.

    :)

    Sounds about right yes. Ah well patience is a virtue lol! Not that it matters with this summer it's far to rotten to be outside.

    Good on you girl!! I am very proud of you! You really must take lots of pictures for us. I would love to see your new home and plants. Are you still in Sandown?

    Yeah i am proud of myself as well.. :) Not in sandown anymore, i am now more of a country girl than beach bum...hehe.. Also the wildlife is amazing here.. 100's of different birds.. foxes, badgers, bats.. endless wildlife... no doubt i will post some pics up.. :)

    What a good thread, not been about much due to moving house.

    I must admit i am a bit of a green fingers and this house is perfect for it.

    Already growing in my garden is.. Grapes, Plums, Eating apples, raseberrys, cherrys, longon berries, blackberries, and probley a lot more which i havent discovered yet.. Also my veg patch is looking good with carrots, running beans, pumpkins, beatroot, radishes.. and more to go in..

    To be able to do all this, i feel is good because and i know that what me and my boys eat are home grown and had nothing added to them or chemicals been used on them, over the seasons i hope to increase what i grow.

    Also I am involving my two boys (aged 7 & 4 ) in helping in the garden, which will hopefully give them more of a learning experience than being stuck infront of computer or tv..
