Growing season March 2022 #2

More seeds sown today, new plants in the garden and the other morning I decided to build another pond! Will do a post for that in the next few days. Growing things and nature gives a good feeling, and am hoping to cater for more wildlife this year. Extra flowers, herbs and plants so lots for everyone.

The window sill pots are in use again with new seeds.

The broccoli made it through last years caterpillars, lets see if it can this year and actually turn into broccoli 🥦

New flowers are taking well, and hopfully all the other bulbs and seeds will come up too, hope there is room for it all.

In the garden – March #1

Spring is in the air today, it’s windy but has a feel of warmth to it finally. I found a caterpillar working his way through, and the muscari have started emerging 💜, with the calendula still going having held out all through winter. They seem to be good hardy addition to the garden.

Spring is coming

A little dash of yellow appeared and within a day the daffodil was open. The calendula has been holding the garden up with a spot of colour all winter, now has some company. Looking forward to this year’s brightness already 💛

Summer in the garden

There have been some awesome little bugs and insects this year. Most of them have moved on now and the late summer change of plants begins. I shall get some new seeds planted to start the winter grow. Hopefully autumn will have some different things going on, its one of my favourite months. Here are some of the brightest and coolest of the last month or so.
