Felt anyhow so no gardening. Gave my daughter some chitted First and Second Early potatoes to grow in her own garden, also gave her 3 well grown plants of the Giant Scabious I grew from seed two years ago.
The morning was a total washout but it’s nice and sunny now so I popped out to plant some seeds. Unfortunately it really windy so I’m back indoors now!
The most gardening I did today was in my mind, due to the unpredictable weather. But, I took the opportunity to take a walk this afternoon. Mobile phone told me there was no rain due for a couple of hours. Being sceptical of these apps, I looked outside in all directions. Hardly a cloud to be seen.
But, I went without a cagoule - and got absolutely soaked through!! Sigh.
A lovely day. Took the dog for his constitutional, Put out the washing with everything crossed. We had a lovely day. Very windy. Sunny and warm. Washing dried. I sowed most of my veg. in pots. My new tomato seeds are due to arrive tomorrow. Big Mama and Cocktail Crush. Then it will only be seeds which need to be sown directly outside into the soil left to sow. I must now put the used seed packets away tidily in their storage box so I can find them when needed next. In case of non germination, slug munch etc.
Sowed some more dwarf beans as others not doing well. Took the cloches off the broad beans and peas. Plants look really good. Put sticks for support as well as a deterrent to the pigeons. Have decided to redo our herb garden. So sowed coriander, dill, marjoram, welsh onions, parsley and oregano.
Hope to transplant onion seedlings at the weekend and some leeks seedlings.
