What a few stunning days we had for the Easter holidays apart from Monday which was rather blustery. I thought I would give a little update on how it is all going.
I started some seeds in the trough planters in March, they did not germinate so I re-sewed them early April and look they are taking off. We have coming up carrots, beetroot, fennel and onions. I have thinned the beets and carrots out and will sew some more maybe the end of this month so we have more arriving later in the season. I am being very good in making sure I water the plants everyday and keeping a much closer eye on them than I did last year.
After killing two courgettes and two sweetcorn I am being more careful with my mini greenhouse (closing it every night). The new courgettes are doing well and I have one pea come up - seriously I do not know why I can not grow them.
As you can see the pepper is holding its own and I have some aubergine which I have so far kept alive.
I have appearing a outdoor cucumber and some more sweetcorn.The runner beans and peas again are not happy and refusing to germinate. I have also started lots of annual flowers for the back garden.
The cut and come again lettuce is taking off and I have started a second pot. I will start a third pot in a week or so. These are on our patio so I can keep a closer eye on them.
I adore this time of year, seeing the plants germinate and grow is such a joy.

| Making sure I close the growhouse at night means this courgette is still alive |
