Haven't had time to post this month, but had time this morning to make a quick tour of the garden. Here's what I've been up to...
Last week I came home to find the staging in the greenhouse had collapsed. Looked a lot worse than it was. Managed to rescue most of the seedlings. Made sure the staging is well lashed onto the greenhouse frame now.
The Maris Pipers have gone into the bulk bag. They should enjoy the compost from last year.
Also planted some spuds in these bags. Tried it last year, but they dry out very quickly. Hopefully the tray underneath should retain some moisture.
Planted a row of spuds in the raised bed, along with the peas and a row of carrots (Autumn King and Sweet Candle).
In the greenhouse the shallots are starting to show some green shoots.
Chinese cabbage is coming along nicely.
Broccoli and Cauli seedlings are safe from the slugs for the time being.
First shoots are appearing on the Chardonnay grape vine.
Shoots on the raspberries too.
Blueberry is coming into leaf.
Forsythia is well in flower.
Rose 'Lady Veilchenblau' is well in leaf.
Sweet peas and Echiums have gone into the Victorian garden.
Foxgloves are coming on nicely.
Pond still needs a good clear out, but leaving that until Easter.
Frost did for the Jasmine. Hopefully it will grow back.
One of the fence posts snapped in the winter. Another job for Easter.
First shoots on the Bramley.
Not many signs of life on the Elstar, but it was quite heavily pruned into an espalier.
The fig seems to have survived the winter. Have given it a good dollop of horse manure, which should kick in soon.
And that's 'yer lot for this weekend! :)
