The Potting Shed

[Nana of 9]

No sign of my Bluebells flowering yet

Are they British or Spanish? The home-grown ones have been flowering for about 2 weeks here. The Spanish one in our back garden (inherited from the previous owners) only started to flower this last weekend.

All the trees are in leaf now. And a spruce I planted last year and thought had died has grown again!
Ferns are unfurling, hostas opening up, lupins and roses well into bud. Another week or so and I'll be planting out the summer bedding.

I have ferns popping-up all over the place... where I didn't put them.

Spuds have started to rise... it must be all this rain's fault.

All this rain?? Last night we had our first rain worth noticing for over a month! And I had to go out this morning and water the pots because the wind was blowing them over.

About a month dry here too, then a bit of drizzle, but today is stormy on-and-off, tomorrow is going to be worse.

My Bluebells are going over now, but some aliums are open to open.

Overwintered Chillies and Pepino melon moved into the chiliarium. Space in the greenhouse again!

15 minutes later, filled with newly sown seeds:  Coriander, Edible Chrysanthemums, Asparagus Peas, Goji Berries, Salsify and the much-awaited Electric Daisies.

Planted out 3 black grape vines I grew from cuttings. The white grape vine died after the wet winter.

Loads of plants outside enjoying the sun and hardening-off.

The Edible chrysanths and electric daisies have popped up

Potted-on several chilli plants into their final pots. Flowers on the chilies in the chilliarium. Spuds almost ready to be buried. Blueberries swelling, as are the gooseberries, black and red currants. Rhubarb in flower. Flowers forming on the grapevines.

Planted out 12 dwarf sunflowers, 12 giant sunflowers and 20 lobelia plugs.
