Relocation
What a surprise to see the neighbours tree had decided to relocate to our garden. Just to give you an idea of size. 18′ was over our garden & another 12′ still over his side.
So that was top of this weekends ‘to do’ list. Finally finished the weeding & greenhouse clearing, all the pots are lined up ready to be filled & put to use.
I have pretty much all the seeds I need for this year, who am I kidding there is always some more you want/need later on.
I have brought 2 x Cranberry shrubs & 1 x Redcurrant shrubs that will be going in the ground this weekend. I just need to get a Blue Berry one & then I am all set on the soft fruit front this year.
Gooseberry & Grapes seem to be going well from last year & the new apple tree already has a few buds appearing.
The Damson tree is as strong as ever. Hoping to get a good crop of fruit off it again this year.
New Years (Gardening) Resolutions
1, Label seeds a bit better, last year I mixed up the label’s a few times & where I thought I had Sprouts, I actually had Broccoli & where I thought would be Swede was actually Celery.
2, Plant more regularly, last year I did 1 sowing of Cauliflower & 1 of each of the Cabbages. So I really need to make a few more sowing of each.
3, Give composting a go
4, Give Mushrooms & Cucumbers another go this year too, 3rd time lucky.
Providing the wind calms down a fair bit I am hoping to do a bit of weeding & dig over the dirt ready to start planting again soon. All I have left growing is 1 White Cabbage & 1 Leek. Really need to put some flower bulbs in too.
Today’s Picture: When I brought the seeds for the Fibre Optics plant I was told it was an indoor plant that needed light & warmth, well I started the seeds in the Greenhouse a couple of summers ago & while the weather was warm left it outside. I decided to move it indoors just before the weather turned & within a week it had turned brown & died, I put the pot out back & it started to grow back so I left it to it’s own devices. It has since survived 2 winters & summers outside with no real looking after & It has stayed this bright green. I will admit It is a beauty to look at. Here’s to a few more years of growth . . .
