Planting today

Feels like spring, beautiful warm day with wonderful light, and the hope of summer on its way.

A quick trip to the riding school to load up the van with some compost for the latest outer circle. No sooner you pile it up and it seems to sink down, we will still need more but in the meantime I have space ready for new seedlings. Some of the plants I spoke of earlier, have now started to show and I take the time to get a few going before starting the next lot, that way I can keep control of what where etc.

Garlic and onions are doing well, planted some beetroot, mizuna, red onion, coriander, chives. The seedling window boxes we put up at the back of the house are an absolute joy, perfect height, good sun and when they have been empty Zac agrees it is the best place for a siesta, warm and no wind or interruption.




You might be wondering whatz up with the bags? New experiment, decided to put some compost in them, then potato chits. I will fill the bag with soil as they grow. Check back for progress report.
