Here we are then, the garden has been almost cleared of weeds and there is a lot of planting been going on.
Flowers are going to be late this year but we have had a good show on the irises, ceanothus, and clematis.
Roses are not so good so far this year, plenty of time left to show their true colours if fed well and we get the right weather.
Apple tree planted earlier this year has not blossomed as yet but I think this will not happen for a few years yet. Same with the cherry which is now in a large tub, we shall grow this into a bush form not a tree.
Veggies are really doing well except the runner beans, spuds are a first this year in this home and are coming along fine. The cold frame is producing plenty of goodies too, now that the move is complete to its new place further down the garden.
Strawberries are green and waiting for the first flush of colour on them to grab one and eat it before the Blackbirds get to it.
Peas and broad beans are in flower with pods swelling daily.
Now for the strange and against all rules, I have put carrots and cabbages together.
This is not to be done in most books, but I have broke with convention and said to hell with it. It seems to be working for the most, no carrot fly or cabbage white to bother us. Club root seems to be held at bay, but I shall see how this works out with the joining of two types of plant which have different needs.
Updates will follow
