Woodpecker and Baby

I had 2 lovely visitors to my garden today , the Woodpecker and its baby , what a privilege to be able to watch them in my own garden

June

Well, May was lovely , what a diff it made to the wee plants , ive got most of them out in the garden now and ive got room to start off all my Salad stuff , Radish , Spring Onions, Garlic Chives and mixed Lettuce leaves , the Tomatoes and Cucumber plants are growing well .


The Hanging Baskets are looking really full now and starting to flower .

In Between Stage

This in between stage does my head in ! It gets too warm in the Greenhouse during the day and yet its too cold to leave the plants outside all night , so , out they come in the morning and in they all go at night again , my hubby thinks im mad ! still another couple of weeks and I should be able to get them out ready for the garden ….......I hope !

Bea keeps looking for Strawberries , she loves them !

Greenhouse Staging

My lovely hubby gave me money at Christmas to buy things I needed for the Garden / Greenhouse , I still had a few pounds left so I decided to change from the old pasting table and get nice new staging from Argos , here are the before and after pictures , Im quite pleased with the change


Before ( the old pasting table )

After ( nice new staging from Argos )

My son James went and collected it for me and built it up and thank you Natalie for going and buying it for me !

Potted on my Dahlia this morning , ive got 101 of them !
Im not worried though the ones I cant manage to squeeze into the garden will go to neighbours

Everything is growing well

Spring ?? Crazy weather !

Well Ive had a great day , the weather is crazy , sun is shining and the snow is falling ! it was 80 in the Greenhouse and I was loving it , infact it was warmer in the Greenhouse than it was in the house !

Im growing Non Stop Begonia's for the first time , my neighbour was putting these tubers in the bin and asked me if I would like them , I put them in an old container , covered them with compost and put them at the back of the Greenhouse , I put them in pots last week and put them in the central heating cupboard , as you can see they are starting to grow , pipping is the correct term im told .
The Tomatoes are also coming on well , the ones here in the picture are Minibell , I grew them last year and loved them .

In fact everything is growing well , im so happy , I love getting up every morning and going into the Greenhouse to check on all my little babies , how privileged I am to be able to watch all this beauty growing , its my little patch of heaven on earth .

Would be nice to recieve some comments , so please feel free to say Hi

Homemade Compost

My lovely hubby kindly emptied the compost bin for me this morning and Im well chuffed with it , I spread it around my Fucshia bed and it looks great , time to start refilling the bin again for next year ! lol

Crazy Weather

Its quite a nice day , I worked in the Greenhouse most of the day ,really enjoyed it , gave the place a bit of a tidy up its surprising how quickly it gets untidy , all the seeds are coming on well and I made a start on the Hanging Baskets . Britain is to be battered by storms tonight so dont know what we will wake up to tomorrow

Begonia Seeds

Remember the little tube of Begonia seeds , all 750 of them ?

here they are , who wants to count them ?
