So it has been a glorious weekend to be outside...although I have worked early mornings, evenings and where I can find the shade...I don't do burnt or heat-stroke!!
Lots got done and rather than blather on about it I will just post lots of pictures for you to look at.

Herbs and plants being hardened off ready to be planted out. |
Salad food in pots around the greenhouse. |
Iceberg, little gem, all year round lettuce. |
Speedy salad leaves. |
A selection of plants to stay in the greenhouse to bring a little earlier produce. |
Parsnip germination has been a success with the second sowing. |
Brassicas growing well. |
Chilli pepper and bell peppers. |
Celeriac slow but steadily growing. |
Selection of french beans. |
The squash bed. |
My new strawberry plants have some flowers already. |
Front garden nice and tidy. |
Blogger seemed to want to do it's own thing tonight so
sorry that the arrangements is a little 'hap-hazard'...but to be honest
I am too tired to be bothered about it very much. Hope you have
all had a great weekend too.

We picked up more fencing from the farm to expand the chicken pen. Then, ended up racing home to beat the storms moving in. Spring weather keeps us on our toes!
ReplyDeleteAny weather in England keeps us on our toes!!
Deletewow, everything is looking great. I sort of like the arrangement of your pictures, gives it a collage look.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite pleased with what I have got done Ann. Glad you like the photo arrangement...I'm sure it will happen again..lol
DeleteDear Tanya, What a beautiful assortment of everything. Wasabi, wow! You really have talent. I bet you must be tired. The fresh air and the tending to these beautiful plants must be so rewarding and gives you a good nights sleep. You will soon have a feast.
ReplyDeleteTanya, bread and butter pickles are sweet.
Have a good evening.
Blessings friend. Catherine xo
I like to try a few new things each year but I'm pretty sure it's more luck than talent.
DeleteI certainly do sleep well, as for the feast..I sure hope so!!
I wish my weather was good enough for that right now. I think the rain is going to wash everything out.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt we will be back to that soon Ratty...the rain always follows the sun and vice versa so the sun will reach you again soon.
DeleteYou have been a busy bee. We tend to go to the allotment in the afternoon and intersperse a bit of work with a sit in the shade having coffee and a chat. Sunday - more coffee and chat than work!
ReplyDeleteI don't get much in the afternoons due to work..plus if I get down early in the morning I get so much more done as there are less distractions.
DeleteWe've divided our time between the allotment and the garden, it seems that everything is wanting our attention at the moment, so much to do.
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling Jo...I dedicated some serious time recently to my very neglected garden...I finally feel like I am starting to get on top of things now...don't know how long that will last though...probably until the weeds come back with a vengeance.
DeleteYour planting looks great! A lot has happened in a short span of time. Even here it is suddenly green everywhere!
ReplyDeleteBlogger changed their format for me and I don't like it; text and pictures float around and do as they please. I wish I could get the old system back. Everything stayed put!
Thank you so much for commenting on my treasury post. It is always a treat when others include my items in their collections. It is usually the other way around. Anyway, you are first commenter and get an extra link.
I'm with you. Red is also one of my favourite colours!
Hugs,
Tina
It is always nice when the seasons change and sudden;y everything is green and full of life again.
Deletewow..just so fun isn't it?! Your garden looks great!! our nightly salad right now is made for a king!! don't think it could be more perfect!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's fun...the weeds often make it tedious..however it's always rewarding!
