Sowing and growing

It has been a while since I have posted on here, time flies when your having fun! I'm a tad behind Kathy on the growing front but I am slowly catching up.

I have planted out my sweet peas so I don't have to worry as much about watering them. I have found in the past that they are quite happy in containers as long as they have support to grow against. My simple method is using plastic netting and three bamboo canes. You can be as imaginative as you like though. I cant wait until they start growing a bit taller!


I know Kathy is going to acquire some strawberry plants so here are mine. I had left the old leaves on over the winter months to protect them from frost (learned from past experience....) so I gave them a good bit of TLC with some plant food thrown in for good measure. I also discovered where all the snails were hiding in the process haha
I grow mine in containers for better soil quality but also when the strawbs are growing they tend to go over the side and they don't touch the soil and rot. These are about 2-3 years old so I'm going to probably get a new set of plants in next year.

With all the sunshine about I have nearly finished my planter for my blueberry bush. I have picked a sunny spot and removed the weeds so when the paint has dried I will pop Ms Blueberry into her new home where she will be really happy and produce lots of yummy berries :)
Good bit of work with the left over wood I had if I do say so myself!

 

Phew I have been busy! I love it though so I'm always planning what to do next. Next jobs are to get the seeds started and get the blueberry bush outside. Off to water the plants :)
