What’s been happen in the gardens this week




Well what a nice Easter weekend we had the sun has been out the dogs have enjoyed it a bit chilly this morning but sun slowly coming out now.
I hoping to go out into the garden later to try and make a new bed out of things laying a round for the edging the garden
Over the weekend I sowed some Hurst Green Shaft Pea where I had sown sugar snap peas, but nothing came up
So, hoping these do

/




 been damp the last couple of days with some sunshine  hoping to get out over the weekend

I am taking part in the #sunflower challenge 2019
Nicks Allotment Dairy on You Tube is running had already sown some before I heard about the challenge so sowed some more like you do

A bit of a damp day today so not a lot going on garden wise

Well we mowed the weeds the other day and added some to the wormy and have decided I will not worry about turning it over but just keep it for the lovely tea that they make it needs high ring up we had some nice weather but it going to go damp and raining so going to plant out my one and only Celeriac that had germinated  still worried about my lemon cucumber looks like I only got one coming up which is in the upstairs spare window  we had rain for the last 2 days so no gardening has been done


I am going to do some more sowing shortly as we meant to be getting nice weather again soon

Well we have had hale stones this morning so no outside has been done
I did do a sowing of sugar snap peas yesterday but left them in the shed  will spray them shortly I have run out of room in the house to bring them in and left 3 courgettes in there to normal would of put them in the green house but that’s not up as yet.
Well I asked David if one of my shelving from the greenhouse would work in the dog room and it dose thank you so much and to have all in one place now will be much better
Well I am thinking about re potting my lemon tree I watered it yesterday with rain water like you should it only got 2 brown leaves so thinking it might be dead?
Well I took the plunge and re potted my lemon tree had hardly any roots  it at all so snip one and also sowed my special seeds dose have another name  but that’s what I am calling mined will be in video shortly and we cleaned the shed up while we did not have the blue car in the shed


 Well we had a few good days weather wise with some wind so had to be care full of my eyes so been indoors sowing and tidying the garage /shed up
I think I have done quite well without my greenhouse up but do miss it, but it might get up one day?

 Well I planted out my 3 courgette plants this morning after doing a bit of weeding and did remember to put an empty small pot for watering as well been nice and warm as well had lunch outside witch was nice and had a coffee as well along with a soft drink
Noticed some bluebells out as well this morning dogs sunbathing when we were seating down resting for a bit

I have just planted out some poppies and one other plant potted on some rosemary I had in a pot of water and have made 3 small plants of its David has made cool area were we seat down for a coffee or two photo to follow
I am hoping to sow some more flowers hopefully
And harvest 4 sticks of rhubarb this morning might just stew and then make some custard later maybe

Moved my pallet garden down to near the other end of where I am growing things the other day looking good I got to sort my front containers out later on one side of the house as looking sorry for them self’s









Well I put some flower seeds into long container yesterday morning which were RUBBERMAID, SWEET WILLIAMS, AND CALIFORNIAN POPPY.
Been raining on and off meant to be raining all day so the met office says clean the garden up before the rain started again this morning
Been raining again apart hardening of my sugar snap peas and feeding the birds David came across this metal cockerel which we put up were hopefully I be putting some herbs I have not had a good time with gemination but will re sow some when I got some more seeds.

Well this is the third day of rain we had so far so no outside work has been happening  but hoping for a dry spell soon  hate when I can not get outside even to pot on things
We have a dry spell at the moment but looks like rain so not doing any gardening as got to go into town later  learning to garden with this green weed thing growing in our garden  all I do is keep pulling it out of my growing area  must get some more  bamboo poles soon might infest in a plant soon then I can harvest my own in the winter.

This morning I emptied my kitchen compost bin as it had stopped raining will have a look at the garden with the camera as with all the rain we been having have not been able to take it outside lately and I put my #sunflower challenge out to harden off before I plant them out in the garden

I have two flowers on 2 of my courgettes one in the dog room and one in the garden so I will start feeding them possible with tomato feed or I have one more Gro-Sure with seaweed enriched all-purpose plant food  will take photos soon

It raining again this morning so apart form a brief walk round the garden with the dogs that’s all we are doing at present

Will I potted on the #sunflower challenge sunflowers this afternoon birdseed ones and velvet orange ones can not remember to be honest
Hoping to get some poles soon for them and the tomatoes as well now I got some things growing at last
Raining again not getting much weeding down getting a list of things that I need to do but hopefully we will get things done
