Hello everyone have you had a good week?
Humphrey does this mean that the pig wasn't expecting piglets after all?
Yes to photos
Well I have my RHS wildflower seeds.They came in the post. The neighbours have agreed to them being sown in an area of common land where the hawthorn grows. This is real progress as last year I was asked not to do anything that would make the land 'too attractive' [sceptical]. Having watched young men in green on Gardeners World I now know how to sow them, and how to generate a fine tilth, but am still slightly mystified as to whether it is still too early. Oh well, they're going in tomorrow whatever as I won't have time during the week.
I've given in to Sarah Raven and bought the Venetian dahlia collection, even though squirrels ate most of the bulbs last year and slugs ate any plants which grew. I also bought more astrantia 'shaggy' online even though slugs got them last year.
The lotus seeds also came in the post. I am reading up everything I can find about how best to germinate them.
Compost has gone into the veg trough and courgette, salad, spinach, chives, dill, fennel, seeds have been sown and the squash seedlings have gone in and they'll just have to do outdoors because the DC aren't into watering seedlings inside. They've got exams the poor things. So glad I'm not a student.
