Digging, seeds and sunsets!
Break time on Saturday… And I came equiped with crisps and tea! I had a nice sit in my comfy chair in the greenhouse listening to the birds sing!
I have been digging the future potato bed….again. Removing the endless rubble. The bit I dug looked beautiful 🙂 hopefully it will be worth the hard work, with no funny shaped potatoes. This is my first year using this bed for potatoes. I have to say I’m very inspired by my plot neighbour. Since our first year he has been full of encouragement. He must have come down during last week, as I haven’t seen him this year. He is a stealth gardener! I don’t know how he does it. But it goes from a bit weedy to beautiful fine soil within days… I try to console myself that he has had the plot for a long time. So oneday mine might be like that too!
I took a mini break for the hard digging. And I peered into my caged outdoor seeds. I have been planning to dig this over again as the seeds didn’t take.
However. I peered closer (I got down to ground level, looking I’m sure like a nut case) And I spotted little shoots of green!! So I had tidy up… And hey presto we have baby spring onions!!
I can be very impatient with outside seeds. And this just reminds me to sit tight and wait sometimes! If I had time last week, I would have dug over. Lucky escape for these guys!
And this is my last few chilli seeds coming up (in mini prop at the flat) another story of patience!
I took my friend down to see the plot on Friday and we got treated to this beautiful sunset!
We got some grow bags and a few extra seeds! Now back to reality!

Comfy chair in the greenhouse…I’m liking that idea! Not sure I can fit one in a 8×4 though 😐

It’s a good escape from the wind and rain! But yes it’s about 6×6 so just about big enough for a pop up chair in the winter 😊

What a marvelous way to spend your weekend! I, too, get impatient with seeds. I still seem to believe they should sprout as soon as they’re sowed.

Glad it’s not just me! 😊
