We have a lot of work to do and I am excited and scared about how to move the garden forward. My main problem is I get nervous that it will fail and then I do not do anything and the garden remains looking unfinished. So I need a plan and I need to put it into action.
1. GYO we have sewn some seeds straight into the planters some Beetroot, Onions and Carrots. No sign of anything coming up yet and I am a little worried I have planted them too deep. Though looking today we have some beetroot have appeared which is great to see.
2. For mothers day I was given the chance to buy plants when I see ones I like. I have finally got a compact Buddleja Buzz in magenta and I can not wait for it to flower.
3. Flower seeds lots have germinated and the mini growhouse is already filling up with sweet peas, Echinacea Pallida from the Sarah Raven collection and Rudbeckia Gloriosa Daisies from Mr Fothergills . I have also stared some chillis and sweetcorn.
4. Violas are still giving us lots of colour and with that a lot of cheer. I will be doing these in the winter for sure.
5. Laurels they have come into flower and they are alive with pollinators and its a delight to see.
6. Empty beds that need planning.... lots of ideas but not sure where to start? Maybe a cup of tea and a garden book.
With all this going on I made cake
Those violas are a picture! Don't worry about failing, just do something. That is the joy of gardening, you can shuffle around at a later date or even start all over again. I am sure once you get going you will get into the swing of it. Good luck x
ReplyDeleteThose violas look fab in that stand, very nice. Dont worry about failing, more than half of gardening is learning from what didn't go well. Unlike most of life you can just move stuff if things don't work together..
