Gardening Update
Following on from my post last week about my new propogator, this weekend I finally got the time to get my first set of seeds on the go. At present we’ve got dwarf beans and courgettes going in peat pots, and then chillis, leeks and tomatoes in the seed tray. The propogator is a nice decent size and should allow the seedlings to grow up to the right height before getting moved outside.
We also went out to another local garden centre yesterday (I love these places!) to see if they had any scotch bonnet chilli seeds. Whilst there I also picked up a couple of potato grow bags (deep bags with a slit on the side) and 3 different types of potatoes which’ll be ready at varying times throughout the summer and the main crop (King Edwards) should keep a fair while (whether they last that long or not who knows!). We won’t get a massive amount of potatoes I doubt but it does mean we can get a few crops going.
I checked on my garlic yesterday too and all 6 cloves that I planted are now showing shoots, even the one that the squirrel dug up!
