Update On My Garden

:wave: peeps,


I have just planted up about 50 or so moneymaker Toms and have about 200 more to do , never had such a good yield!



The flower seeds i planted in the plastic cups didnt grow too well so i have gathered up the rest of the seedswap ones and the ones i bought spread some compost on my stony bed and scattered the lot... if they do they do !!!


Watch this space!!

#
The thrid bed is now completed and tomorrow i have a ton of compost coming to help fill it !! I have veggies jumping out of the pots in the g/house waiting to go in the ground...

no1 and no 2 beds are doing ok and we have erected cloches, home made and from pound shop... i only caught a cat in no2 ,(dont even go there!) he just kicked a brussel sprout plant out thank goodness ... measures are in place !!...(we have tied jet to the said bed and she has to stay there all night!!!... not really !!!


I did discover that the local cats seem to collect under my hedge which is next to the beds... word has got around in the cat community ... or maybe they want to `sit ` for me to be painted!! :r :r :r

DH is taking all the dog pen slabs up ,( to be reused elsewhere), and cementing it instead .. it was all wobbly and not finished off properly!


Pictures to follow ,

Your garden sounds great Jen, coming on great :thumbup;

I wonder why the seeds didnt take :blink: Mine have :)

I have got Yellow Poppies, Lilac Poppies, Foxgloves, Nigella, Delphiniums, Sweet Pea, Wall flower, Cornflower, Snap Dragon, Hollyhock, Lettuce, Potatoes, Runner Beans, Peas, Carrots, Onions, Chives, Parsley....the only seeds that didnt take were the Aquegia for some reason, so I have scattered them on the garden like you have Jen :thumbup;

Will take some pics in a few weeks :D

If so is ther anything you need that i may be able to swap with you ??? cant see wallflower seeds in lidls or anywhere i have been actually ....

Dont worry ... just thought you might have had millions!!! I had about 4 packets of californian poppies and if they all come up it should look stunning as i have mixed varieties!!


Right... back to the garden!

Quite some industrious work there, girls :D

Jen, I'm a real fan of Moneymaker tomatoes :thumbup; May be an old type but still the best for home growing :)

We've lost our wallflowers, unfortunately, probably thanks to the slugs and snails :rolleyes: You can't beat their scent on a warm day :)

Wallflowers, along with Forgetmeknots remind me of my dear mum who loved to garden,
