radishes

Monday in the garden

I thought long and hard overnight about the beetroot.

John had a look this morning and they are really tiny – no more than half an inch for the largest one.

So, I pulled them all up and sowed some more Beetroot (Boltardy) seeds in another part of the veg trug. (I can harvest them in 6-8 weeks)

They are in one row, well spaced.

I also sowed some more radishes (French Breakfast) and some more lettuce (Saladin) seeds.

Then, I gave the garden a thorough watering, especially the containers.

I would like to top up the lavender with more compost at some point this week

Going around the garden while watering the plants, I noticed that the Geraniums are starting to flower – soon the blue Lobelia will be joined with bright red Geranium flowers 🙂
