Good luck with the surgery. Hope Physio goes well.  Season starting.  Seeds coming up in the propagator.  soon everywidnowsill will be full of trays.  Your arms should be healed well up for the early summer stint. Hope you get help with the watering if you are porting.  XXX

Despite a broken arm and a wet weekend I have started the major sowing season...
4 types of sweet pepper, 5 chilli's and 6 different aubergines... oh and a few Jicama yesterday, another 15 varieties of HSL tomatoes... now all safely tucked up in the heated propagator in the spare bedroom...  :wave:

Well I haven't decided yet but as can be seen in the cold greenhouse I have numerous plants I can put in, most of them are perennial, so I guess I will be finding somewhere to put these.

I haven't decided what I want to do with my herbaceous border (under the fruit trees) I am toying with the idea of trying to make it as maintenance free as possible. I have also to keep in mind leaving access to the fruit trees for harvesting purposes. My thoughts are clumps of Lilies, Dahlias, Iris and Chrysanthemums, with a frontage of a few biennials I have on the go.

Then I have got to think of in terms of vegetables in the bed behind my heather bed. I have a few Onions, and Garlic on the go. Then as normal I will grow my carrots & salad crops in the cold frames once they are emptied of hardening off plants.

I might grow some Beetroot as a contrasting colour in my flower borders.

So really I only have a bit of a planting plan, so only time will tell.

Weather permitting, I will hopefully get a good display of colour, some of which will be edible.

Then of course my cold greenhouse will be filled with Tomatoes, Sweet Peppers, Chillis & Cucumber.

My fruit collection will be Apples, Pears, Plums, Gooseberries, Raspberries, Strawberries & Rhubarb.

So I have the stock, the rest is up to Mother Nature.

I hope that answers your question Tg

Interesting, Tee Gee. What are your thoughts about what changes you might make?
