That’s the mad thing with gardening, you’ve been waiting all winter for everything to start and before you know it, it’s nearly June and horticultural madness has ensued and you’ve a “to do” list as long as a garden hoe. There’s no magic day where everything just changes, it just happens and without you even seemingly noticing!
We’ve had some lovely days over the last couple of weeks with glorious sunshine and then overnight on Saturday came some heavyweight rain. Talk about the garden now being in a state of fecundity.
Oddly though we have a strawberry plant in a pot up near the house and been wondering why it hasn’t been doing anywhere as good as the others dotted around the garden especially with the current weather. We assume this could be the reason why (pic above).
Judging by the weather forecast it looks like the good weather is returning next week. We’ve had some rain and sun this week which may have kept us in but it’s making the veg and the back lawn come out of themselves. Those scorch marks on the grass have now turned a shade of dark green and here’s something we spotted this morning, our first tomato, we know it’s early days but it’s the first one! We’ve already started feeding all the veg once a week with that smelly comfrey liquid so it is doing something! Roll on the good weather! #tomatoesinlockdown #lockdowngardeningnearlewisham
