In between the rain showers over the last week, we have been planting lots of seeds and seedlings. Its that time of year again, and it looks like frosts are over.
Some of the first seeds, that we planted in trays, sprouted quickly and have now been transplanted into the straw and horse manure covered beds in the gardens. The courgettes were each planted in a generous bucket of nutritious compost from the heap.
A second set of tomato seedlings have gone in, purchased at Tabua market, after the first lot were killed by a late frost.
Sophie has been saving milk cartons to plant seeds in, and we found some old polystyrene fish boxes last year which make great little home made nursery with an old window.
We have also almost finished pruning and tying-in all the vines, including some that have lived without posts for a few years.
