Gardening at Home today

Pottered around in the garden all afternoon and got lots done.  Cleared out the 'greenhouse' and prepped it for growbags.  Will be putting my peppers, tomatoes, aubergines and cucumbers in there (if there is room for them all!) Will move the shelves out when things get too tall.

Next job - planted up sweet pepper seeds, and more celariac seeds as first lot are all doing quite well but needed more!  Then filled my cheapy veg sacks with lots of lovely brown stuff and planted carrots, rocket, cos lettuce, radishes and spring onions.  Will be doing this over and over again with the salad veg - right by the kitchen door so can 'pick and grow' all through the summer hopefully.  Also filled in the gaps in the raised beds with more salad veg.

 Not used these types of bags before but they feel pretty sturdy and have decent sized drainage holes so fingers crossed.  Simon has been using them for his spuds and seems quite happy with them and he has greenery coming up now from his Swifts.  He kept himself busy today oofing around the bags of compost and grow bags as I was too feeble to lift them,  potting on his morning glories and french marigolds, starting off his nasturtiums and Calendula and sorting out troughs for his chilli hothouse.

All in all a very pleasant afternoon getting dirt behind my fingernails and enjoying the sun and spring flowers in the garden, planted crocus and daffodil bulbs in the lawn in the autumn and seeing the benefit of them now - beautiful!
