Sunny D

by: boab_bruce

Was a lovely day today, bought some stuff at the Garden centre to plant,
I have decided to move everything from the top bed by the shed in order to get some veg in the ground
This should free up a patch roughly 2Mx1M
Planted some purple dragon carrots and a tray of Delphiniums, I also found some delphinium seeds I harvested from the plantslast year so it will be good to compare the two types, hopefully this will be the last time I buy delph seeds.

Beans and Courgette

I planted one of the courgette seeds I was given (Defender F1) and all 6 of the runner beans (Polestar). I am starting the beans in pots at the bottom of the greenhouse but I have prepared a small patch for them to be planted into,this may be the only veg I will put in the ground.

The Newspaper pots are great :)

Spring Onions

by: boab_bruce

Sowed some modules full of spring onions today,I picked thius tip up from someone on the a4a forum.
Put about 10 to 15 seeds per module and when they are big enough transplant the whole clump in one go.Apparently the success rate is much higher this way.The newspaper pots contain Tomatoes - Chelsea F1

Peas

by: boab_bruce

I transplanted my first batch of peas today.
I used a trough from the garden centre and drilled some holes in the bottom for drainage.I would say I could probably get another 5 plants into it.I am hoping that the planting positions should mean they will support each other as they grow.
