How does your garden grow?

Mines doing well, rampant dandelions, I've been dea heading them so I hopefully dont' get more.

The blossom is out on the trees and my currants have loads of flowers, so do the strawberries and raspberries. The rhubarb has bolted, I'm not sure why, maybe the shock of going from winter to spring in a few days?

I planted 5 hyssop plants and a verbascum, the hyssop is good, all the creatures love it, it's perrenial and it can be used as part of a zataar herb mix and it's good for chest problems like COPD. I love plants that serve so many purposes.

I have buds on the hydrangeas already, maybe I'll have two lots of flowering?

I planted some romanesco cauliflowers and they've just started coming up, but I'm still waiting for the kallets I planted at the same time.

  • I used the Copy and Paste Method. Bit slower than usual methods but works ok. 

    I started planting with just 5 Planters which are at the back and moved on to more and more planters and Pots. The ones next to the Wall (5 of them) I sowed seeds in around Mid April. The 5 front ones(Brown) came roughly a couple of weeks later. The Round Tubs one has a Rose Bush which I re potted when it arrived in delivery. As yet it's not shown any signs of growing but it's early days and maybe next year it will start to grow some more. I'll be protecting it when winter comes with some Mulch Mats. The 2 long Troughs below are Sunflower seeds. They were a Gift from the Local Hospice when I donated to their Sunflower Memories appeal. I nominated my Late wife as I always do every year. I am dead chuffed that they are showing signs of life. Those more than any of the other plants are special and I'd have been devastated had they not done anything. I have 5 more Round Pots which I forgot to take a photo of. They haven't started doing anything yet considering I only planted them as Bulbs 24th June and 27th June. Early days yet. Notice the Solar powered Items as well. I have 2 Butterfiles ones and 2 Angels and 1 Dwarf. They all look loverly and in time I may add to them. My next task is to fasten 2 Brackets to the wall and hang Hanging Baskets from them. Like a fool I forgot to write down what's growing in what planter. I realise I should have wrote down a number on each planter and what was in it. Not to worry I'm just pleased I'm getting some results.
