Progress
Progress is slow or maybe I’m just too impatient.
The weather hasn’t been great and rather nonspecific to be honest. It hasn’t been terribly warm and has rained just about everyday. I haven’t particularly had to do any extra watering of the plants but feel they could do with some of that, all important, sunshine to get things moving a bit more.
The greenhouse hasn’t arrived yet, much to my frustration. It should be here imminently though, if I’m to believe the seller. Tomatoes are doing ok but really are outgrowing their current situation on the windowsill in the utility room. One is actually touching the ceiling!
There has been some progress in the cottage garden area. Varying new growth on the majority of plants and no deaths (yet). I’ve actually managed to add a couple of plants too. A pretty little fuschia and a purple sorrel. The cottage garden will look lovely if all goes to plan.
Fuschia
Sorrel
Veggies are doing ok and we have a particularly impressive salad barrel just now. It has a lovely harvest of rocket going on!
An area of strong growth in the garden is amongst the aquilegia. Its growing wild in various area but very pretty so I shall allow for the time being
Bring on the sunshine!
