Further to last Thursday’s post I went to the horticultural society trading shed last Sunday and picked up the main crop seed potatoes Picasso I should have been given the previous week. That means I now have four varieties this year. Thankfully I’ll be growing them on the largest of the three vegetable patches so will just about have enough room for all of them.
I’ve been plotting every day this week and have now weeded and forked, or hoed, over all three vegetable patches as well as cosmos corner and where I’ll be growing the sunflowers.
I’ll now be turning my attention to the main flower patch.
Part of it is covered in a carpet of poached egg plants (Limnanthes douglasii), which when they flower will attract plenty of bees.
This morning I pruned the white meadowsweet which is showing new growth and leaves.
Behind it are the raspberry bushes which are starting to show new growth, and out of the picture to the right the comfry plants are just reappearing above ground.
Have a good weekend, and take care!
