Lots have now started sprouting in the greenhouse conservatory...
The Aubergines are still looking fantastic...
There have been some very exciting things happening in the Mini (garden) Lottie too...
I came home from work the other day to find The Hubs had put up the last veg bed and bought loads of soil for me to fill it up with!
As you can see, the bed on the furthest left (Bed 1) is covered with a net cloche, which will house all salads/radish/Spinach etc. and Bed 3 has two new fleece cloches over it to help warm the soil. These will also be used for carrots and parsnip in the future.
Ive also had to raise the two flower pots on the other side of Bed 1 so they can get some more sun...
(above) I have put in another "home-made" bird feeder next to these pots too, and I will be adding more bird food to it this weekend.
These two old handing baskets were at the front of our house last year, but I thought we should have some new ones this years so I plan on planting some strawberries in these when the time is ready.
Last weekend, I spent a long time in a battle-to-the-death type duel with a bamboo plant that I have hated since we moved. I won.
I now have the perfect little place for a pond....
It only measures about 2.5 ft around but it might just be enough to make a little home for wildlife that might help with eating slugs and such like! Its just an idea at the moment, but its a nice idea!
Lastly, I have been faffing around with the support structure at the back of Beds 2 and 3. Eventually, these should have Munchkin Pumpkins and French Beans climbing up them, with some Sweet peas thrown in for good measure.
More soil is still needed to finish off the beds. The Hubs and I have calculated I'll need about another 12 x 70 litre bags to fill them and have enough for the pots in the greenhouse and have some left over for more sewing in the conservatory.
That's all for now. Until next time, you take care now x
