Seen in the garden this morning

Morning! While we were giving the garden a comfrey feed this morning we noticed that the Thompson & Morgan‘s Black Moon tomatoes are doing well (above). There’s a little bit of green in the underneath of the fruit but they are mainly black on the top and look great.

And on the poppy tip (from the anarchically sown “thrown them anywhere” method) here’s a couple of nice ones that have sprung up this morning. Poppies are well worth it!

Also we may have news about our cosmos but they are so planted so close to some love in a mist we’re a bit confused, more on those soon.

After posting up Debby H‘s cosmos update we’d thought we’d check on our own seeds we sowed a good few weeks ago. We also added a couple of seedlings we had in a tray beside them so hopefully this’ll turn into a cosmos corner if all goes well and the damn slugs don’t have their way. They’re all under a (very deadish) cherry tree but they will get sunlight most of the day and we will be on hand with the watering can.

And for the past few months a good few love in a mist plants have sprouted up at the bottom of the garden by the rosemary bush we moved a few years ago. We’re not sure if it’s self seeded or if it was the result of one of our anarchic seed sowing experiments. Who cares as long as the flowers look good!

Here’s to the return of the sunshine next week. Enjoy the bank holiday!

 

 

Please no frost now…

It look’s like everything’s on its way now what with the good weather we’re having. We’ve got some different coloured love in a mist up at the top of the garden alongside some tomatoes and whatever else that came out of the packets of seeds we regularly randomly sowed.

There’s a self seeded hollyhock that is really giving it some at the side bed where there’s a load of different stuff growing in a small space, tomatoes and potatoes and random wild flowers. The veg bed at the bottom of the garden is starting to grow now after the cats kept away what with the trick of random twigs and sticks. How’s your garden growing?

We didn’t do too much in the garden today (apart from the odd bit of watering in the morning) what with it being so warm. Sometimes it’s good just to stop and enjoy it all. The Love-in-a-mist at the bottom of the garden which self seeded in the champagne box that mysteriously appeared on our doorstep (here) in 2015 (Cheers Maz!) is now starting to flower.

And so are the spuds! How many weeks have we been in lockdown again?

And the garlic cloves we put in last autumn from Shannon’s to overwinter were harvested today. It seems a bit early but the leaves were starting to go yellow and the plants were falling down on their side so we dug them out. They’re now drying out for a couple of days outside the back door. The big question now is what shall we sow in the space where the garlic was?
