Our unexpected new additions to the veg plot arrived yesterday, courtesy of Pete’s brother. A ‘grow in a bag’ potato set and a couple of garlic cloves. As you can see from the pics both are well under way, the potatoes have sprouted so much that they had grown through the net bag they were in and the garlic is definitely ready to go outside.
Such a shame that the bad weather this weekend has slowed progress on the beds to a standstill. However, indoors the seedlings are doing very well. I managed to plant some more french marigolds and some cabbage seeds (a trial batch from Marshall’s – more on these later). The only no show at the moment is my squash seeds, which are yet to germinate.
The constant snow, rain and hail this Easter has meant that little has got done. The beds are still only half full and the weed fabric and bark chips need to go down. Looks like its going to be a very busy week before our hols next weekend!
