Flighty replied to Colin Robinson's discussion patchy germination"Jade I sow mine direct in the ground which I shall do in the next few days having put the canes up this morning.
If you've enough seeds sow two per cane and discard the smaller plant, that is if they both germinate. Alternatively sow one per…"
Flighty commented on elaine rickett's blog post Dreams do come true"Hardly sentimental drivel, and I agree with Caro. You're not only lucky to have done what you have but to recognise it's true value. "
Flighty replied to Colin Robinson's discussion the weather's never right"Some people, but not me, may have doubts about climate change but it certainly looks as though the weather has become more extreme here, and indeed world-wide, in recent years.
That in turn means that we're going to have to take that more…"
Flighty replied to Colin Robinson's discussion patchy germination"It sure is. I've re-sowed beetroot, carrots, lettuce and spring onions this week.
As well as blaming the weather I think that there are other factors to consider as outlined in the excellent recent blog post, and comments, Seed…"
Flighty replied to Danny McGrath's discussion Too Late for Carrots?"No, you can sow them through to late June. I sowed some in containers yesterday, and will be sowing others in the ground later in the week."
Flighty replied to Rebecca Hales's discussion Insect Eggs"I presume that they are really tiny and not the size as shown in the picture. I don't know what they are but I'd be tempted to leave them as they'll probably hatch in a few days following which you can resume digging. If…"
Flighty replied to Jade Hwang's discussion Are the potato plants out of the small potatos left in the ground any good?"We all miss some when we dig them up. They're called volunteers, and yes it's worth leaving them to grow. They probably won't be as big, or as many, as ones grown this year but still usually worthwhile.

Flighty left a comment for David Ford"David my picture is of James Stewart when he was a USAAF pilot during WW2. He's my favourite actor, was a lifelong pilot and I much admire him.

David Ford left a comment for Flighty"Everytime I see your picture it reminds me of a good friend who has a private pilots licence and flies out of Shoreham airport in West Sussex, he lost his wife recently due to illness and flying has been a good means of getting over it."

A very wet allotment
Posted on April 28, 2012 at 11:28 5 Comments 0 Likes
I've just been for a quick look round the allotment in the rain as I've not been there since Monday. Not surprisingly it's all looking rather bedraggled but lush.
The broad beans, onions and potatoes are all doing well. There's lots of new growth on the blackberry, raspberries and…

Elizabeth Musgrave said… - Thanks for birthday message! Have had good day: made apple, pear and ginger conserve (had one message from a friend calling it bear and ginger which I liked!), made a cushion cover, picked loads of raspberries and went out with OH for a meal. Highly productive and just not thinking about the huge list of garden jobs until tomorrow.
