Swan Plant Planted

So, I planted the swan plant into the garden today. It was growing in a container for a while ... and doing really well. Hopefully, the Monarchs will come!!!

Carrots, Corgettes, Garlic, Spring Onion and Parsnips!!

Well, as you see this is my first bumper crop!!! It's ther first time I've ever seen parnsips just picked from the ground. The leaves are really big, although the snip itself wasn't as big as I was hoping. But, the carrots were really good!!!!

Happy New Year!!!

So, the new year has come around again. It hasn't been very sunny though, but at least the sun was out today.

Over the weekend, I got busy again doing things. I got a nice new strimmer as an xmas pressie, so I put that to work in some of the difficult corners of the garden. I also had a crack at cleaning out our guttering, which was a fairly wet affair. Sadly, when installing one of the gutter witches, I managed to drop my screwdriver down the drain. Definitely not a good idea. I guess we'll have to wait and see whether or not we get a blockage ...

Anyway, things are now really getting over mature in the garden. The brocolli heads are starting to break up. We had brocolli last night, along with corgettes and again tonight! It could be on the menu for a while ...

Otherwise, the strawberries are ripening, and the cabbages I planted a while back are starting to grow properly now. I also put in some borage that we grew from seed, so hopefully that will give us some flower action later on ...
