It’s only been a couple of weeks since the last post about the seeds on trial from Thompson and Morgan but there’s been some changes. The spinach plants in the pot on the windowsill (below) are doing well. We’ll transplant a couple of them in the garden so leaving a couple in the pot and see how they get on. There’s a couple of patches of T&M’s spinach outside that seem to be tolerating our London clay soil.
A sunflower in its very early stages plus one of the tomato plants were transplanted outside yesterday morning with no hardening off. The both of them seem to have survived the searing weather on their first day outside too, let’s see how they get on with the local slugs!
The lewisham recycling bin has the nasturtiums in and they’re making progress, we reckon we’ll be leaving possibly only one in the bin and move the other plants around the garden.
And finally the spaghetti squash is doing well, no slug damage as yet and putting on some growth. Let’s see what the weather brings. Give us a few weeks and we’ll keep you updated with this and the other trial plants in the garden. Ta T&M for the chance of giving the plants a go!
Yesterday morning we watered the Weeds HQ garden at just gone 8am in preparation for the 27° heatwave. The poppies we enjoy sowing randomly, just throwing seed here and there have done very well (above and below). There’s no rhyme or reason to our flower sowing sometimes but yet we’re OCD as they come when it comes to straight as a die vegetable seed rows. What’s all that about?
And last night this tune was on rewind on the estate behind us at their summer party last night, Koffee with the tune Toast. Tune!
