    Hello Everyone

    Well I've planted petunia plugs in our petunia tower I hope I've done it right please feel free to tell me if I have or have not

    Also I planted a clematis last year and I thought it died away but have a look at this

    image

    There is 3 flower buds on it I only noticed it as I was cutting back the tree that was coming through the fence.

    Thanks

    Good news about the clematis. Petunia tower should be gorgeous.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Hello Everyone

    Just had a quick check on the garden because yesterday when I planted the beetroot and turnips out they limped very badly and I thought they were done for but when i went up today they are starting to stand up so phew on that .Also this rain and mild weather should do all our gardens the world of good

    Thanks

  • Wow! I am really impressed with your allotment. My husband and I got an allotment last year and did some planting, but nothing on the scale like what you have achieved.                                                 Well done, it looks as though you all are really enjoying planting.

  • Hi Baz n Hels

    Firstly, love your dogs, what cuties! We are planning to plant tomatoes tomorrow. Good to hear about your beetroot. We are afraid to plant ours out at present as they look really limp.

    Such a steep learning curve for me but our allotment colleagues are really  helpful.

    Great work!

    I'm sure your beetroot will fine after a you plant them out and give them a good soak.
