Planting Galore!

2 comments

The weather was just too good to be missed this weekend so out into the back garden I went.
Seedlings were ready to be transplanted from the propagator into pots and into the mini greenhouse. I just hope they survive now and that I can keep the slugs at bay.
Pictures will be posted as soon as they look a bit more substantial.
Hopefully the veggie plot will be full this summer with:
Tomatoes: Roma, Tom Thumb, Sunrise, Shirley
Artichoke, cabbage, broccoli, kale, brussels, dwarf beans, carrots and potatoes.
Peppers, chillis: numex twilight and cayenne plus herbs: coriander, thyme, tarragon, chives, basil and parsley.
I discovered a hop plant and when planting a clematis to climb through the ivy, I noticed a ‘twig’ until I saw it was moving!

Here are a few pics, does anyone know what it is?

Seeds I planted a couple of weeks ago are starting to appear in the new border, so I added some more delphiniums and planted nasturtiums too.

After doing a bit of pruning in the front garden I found this chap hiding behind some overgrown grass, so took his picture and then let him be.

Lots of bees were buzzing around including this one having a bit of a rest in the grass

I need to make sure there are more plants for them this time next year as not much is flowering except the gorgeous cherry and apple
