    Baza and Hels

    Your plot is looking fab not been getting notifications from here so not been on it a bit, what a great harvest lots to eat there, like the new greenhouse nicely built so far and noticed the sweet peas growing really tall - lot of flowers on them

    Always good to add new bits to the plot, think the trial on your baskets from seeds have done well

    Thanks GG yes agree with you on the flower baskets i think they have come out great for our first attempt, gave a load away to family and they like them as well.

     Here's one of the sweetpeas they have grown really well this last couple of weeks and now got to keep on top of them as they are going to seed quick.

    Hows your allotment coming on ?

    Thanks

    Thanks Gardengirl7 .image

    Hello Gertie Grass if i have to be honest i do feed them once a week with tomatoe feed but its mainly down to our weather! Rain one minute sun the next i think it must be perfect for them.

    Thats what i think anyway he he

    Thanks

    Looking good baza. Its very windy where we live, combination of sea and South Downs, so I grew short sunflowers this year, most are going over now, keeping the seeds - some for the birds.  New puppy so not much time to get on here (or garden for that matter!) Sunday - day of rain, yet baskets were still bone dry.  Neighbours must think I am crazy watering stuff.  There was a seagull on the conservatory roof at 6 am. sounded like he was checking a brick up there (No, it wasnt any leftover cake I made, I dont have left over cake!!!)
