Today definitely felt like summer is on it's way... I've been busy busy busy planting and preparing the beds for more planting!! I even got an optimistic tray full of tomatoes started in the seedling house (plus cheating and buying a few seedlings for the glasshouse). The garden is definitely waking up and the fresh growth manages to outrun the snails (mostly ;). The orchard is also looking quite different - the tree Lucerne got a major slash to give room and light to the fruit trees - it's looking quite different down there. We're down to almost nothing as far as grass is concerned - the sheep cleared everything up for spring growth. So in this waxing moon phase I planted out seedlings of: brokkoli, cauliflower, kale, peas, celery, celeriac, mizuna, lettuces. Started more peas, dwarf beans, even courgette and tomato (under cover) and out on the heat pad the peppers and eggplant are growing (although they took a major hiding by me letting them dry out the other week...) And so much more which I can't even remember... Anyway - a few photos...
