Full to bursting point

But nothing is Growing.

Hopefully the sunshine the weathermen have promised us this week might improve things.

I usually aim for the 14th May for the bulk of my planting out then take around two weeks to plant everything out.

I start with the hardiest stuff and progress to the more tender stuff with a view to getting everything in by the end of May.

Doesn't look like that is going to happen this year, its still like the middle of Spring rather than the end of it!

Have a look for yourselves:

Crikey Tee Gee, has someone started another war and not told me , it looks like you are getting ready for an army there.  I sure hope the weather perks up soon, it has been very hot here but today we have rain so maybe we have swapped and it will become your turn now.

Off topic slightly....what are the blue crates below " sheltered spot at home pic" and the greyish one above it. I recognise them but can't recall what they are called/ original purpose.....I read somewhere that folk plant Alliums in them.

Blue tray is full of Zantedeschia, the green ones are Heuchera & Sedum and the bowls are Sempervivum (House Leeks)

Sorry Teegee...it's me being vague...I meant the tray itself. I have one but can't recall what it's called to get a few more.

Ps what do you do with house leeks. I've grown a few on and was toying with planting in side pockets of wall.

They are simply display/carrier trays that greengrocers get there wares in so I scrounged a few!

Haven't got round to doing anything with them yet they are from a cheap packet of mixed seed I got the year before last so I stuck them in bowls to fetch them on and then I plan on selecting a mixture when they mature and then get rid of the doubles.

Thats the trouble with mixtures you do not know what you have until they mature!
