Thursday 5th May

I had to go into work this morning so I didn’t get much done in the garden. I did pot up two of the cherry tomato plants and put them into the wee plastic growhouse and I sowed beetroot, nasturtiums and calendulas in the fabric troughs. There are non-salad seedlings amongst the lettuces I sowed in one of the troughs but at least the lettuces are coming on well.

Ben spent most of the day outside again and followed my progress round the garden before snoozing on the hedgehog house

I have taken out some of the kale that’s gone to seed but I am enjoying the visitors to their flowers too much to totally remove them. The centaurea montana is coming out now providing fodder for the bees.
