In peat pots planted cauliflower, marigolds teasal and malva moschata and cardoon ( all seeds).

Herbs havent done well so done a re planting of lovage, coriander, basil, summer savory and parcel. Fingers crossed this time.

Still behind but catching up 24th April 2010

Planted asparagus pea and courgette directly into the garden.

I gave the grass the first cut of the year - boy was that hard work.. Long term need to get rid of some of this grass - i spend a lot of time cutting it and it grows again - there could be better things to do.

Got a bit behind - 21st April 2010

Transplanted tomatoes, sweetcorn, pepper, squash, courgette into grow bags and big green bags in the greenhouse. We also planted spinach coriander, good king henry, calabrese and romaine lettuce in seed pots.




Put in an automatic watering system coz we might have some holidays away and dont want to loose our seeds and plants. This happened last year and it was a real nuisance going to all the effort of growing and going on holiday and wondering if the plants will survive.

I bought it from Two Wests and I just bought the basic kit which was enough. Steve cut all the bits of tube and set it up for our greenhouse layout. I also put a hole and plant pot in the middle of each grow bag coz last year it became harder to water inside the bags as the tomatoes got bigger. This way if they do need manaul watering I can just pour it into the plant pot and know it is getting into the bag and not overflowing down the sides.
