Sowing seeds |
I spent a lovely Saturday afternoon pottering in the garden and veg patch. I worked really hard putting in rows of sweetcorn and dwarf beans. A bit annoyed that my Spaniel has run through it and damaged a few. That will teach me to remove the canes that seemed to be doing a good job, so back in they go!

Today I managed to spend some time sowing more seeds, dwarf beans (again) some more climbing beans (Sultana) for another wig wam, Swiss Chard Bright Lights because the first lot didn't germinate in the ground and some herbs. I popped to Homebase and bought a Mason solar powered jar with LED lights, I saw it on another blog last night. I bought the £9 large jar, really pretty. Whilst I was there I saw they had reduced all their tomato plants, so I bought three at £1 each. I now have five or six varieties (Sun Gold, Money Maker, Roma, Alisa Craig and Shirly F1), three in the grow bag frames on the patio that are doing really well, and three in the veg patch next to some pepper or chilli plants a friend donated. As they didn't have tags it will be a guessing game as to the variety, makes it more fun. I also found a 30m hose reduced to £20 with the frame wheel it around the garden, bargain and ours sprung a leak last night, great timing. I hope you had a good weekend getting some gardening jobs done.

In the evenings I've managed to catch up some granny stripe rows, almost 50 rows now so on its way to being finished, in time! Just the dreaded sewing in the ends but I think I will do that in one weekend before I chose the border. I'm a bit behind but still hope to have it finished fairly quickly so that I can start on another one.
