Lazy Monday

I did a lot of thinking over the weekend, rather than doing what I was going to do!

Just took a stroll down the garden and found that the carrots had germinated, but the spring onions and the parsnips haven’t at the moment.

I sat on the store box and had a look at the petunias and they are beginning to flower, which is good.

The old Jasmine has more growth on it and the 2 new jasmines by the arch have grown at least 2 inches.

The peas are growing well and the potatoes need some more compost to make sure that more potatoes grow.

The garden needs a good watering and I need to sort out Veg Trug 1 so that I can grow some salad veg – lettuce, radishes and wild rocket.

I am still waiting for tomatoes and raspberries to turn up as well as the marigolds.

Sowing some more flowers eg impatiens, sunflowers and nasturtiums later this week.

Then I will look in my seed box to see what else I can plant.

As always, I need at least 9 bags of decent compost @ 50Litres or more in size, and I will also need some bark chippings for both sides of the garden.
