What’s happening in the garden?
Two groups have visited the garden that week so we’ve been busy getting it ready…mainly weeding!

Propagation:
Seeds:
I’ve been sprinkling lots of flower seeds around the garden as they mold on the plants, Erigeron, Borage, Calendulas and any others that are seeding.

Potting up:

Planting out:
The first Tomatoes, Roma on Bed 2 and a couple of Grosse Lisse in Tank Bed c (to grow up on the fence). The Romas are sheltered by the remaining Beetroot and Blue Bantam Dwarf Peas will supply

shelter for the Grosse Lisse plants from both sun and any late frosts!

New in the Garden that week:
