This is how the bottom end of the garden looks now that we have finally completed the greenhouse and created a path for ease of access. Quite a few bags of stones later and we are all done. There is another little bit of stoned path to the left of the greenhouse that you can’t see in the picture. I’m using that part to set my fig tree on once it’s in its pot and also to set pots of mixed leaves on.
Inside the greenhouse we have at the top left of the picture, cucumber plant and pots of herbs to the front of that. On the right side we have 2 white buckets with mixed leaves just beginning to sprout, more herbs and you can just see the edge of my strawberry pot.
This lovely terracotta pot was given to me by my Mum. (thanks Mum!) I haven’t yet decided if I’m going to use it for strawberries or if I’m going to turn it into a herb planter. It might actually be a little on the small side to use as a herb planter. Hmmm, decisions decisions!!
Outside in the garden this weekend I have also got some planting done. So far in the ground we have potatoes, spring onions, asparagus, onion sets and carrots. As yet the carrots and peas I planted in pots have yet to germinate. I might try soaking the peas for a few days to see if that helps the germination process? Pepper plants and aubergines have germinated and will be planted out as soon as the weather allows. Leeks are coming along nicely too. Other seeds planted this weekend are butternut squash and little sprog planted a pumpkin!
Tomato plants are coming along nicely at my Dads house and I think those will be ready to go in the greenhouse around the end of May. Dad is also starting off some sweetcorn for me to try in the greenhouse.
Last to go in the garden is a raspberry cane, currently residing in a pot, a blackcurrant bush in a pot at my Mums house and my fig tree which will be re-potted.
