It's an inspiring but also frustrating time in the garden. I'm trying to wait until the last danger of frost has passed before planting out my eggplants, chillies and tomatoes. The vegetable beds are bare and the greenhouse is full. The last frost frost should be in 2 weeks.. 2 weeks is such a long time! ! After this, I will move my dwarfed trees out of the greenhouse (apple, nashi, almond and cherry!)
My foxgloves are starting to bloom as you can see..
This morning I planted out some shallots bulbs as well as some spring onion tape. It was my first time using the seed tape and it was difficult to manage in garden gloves. I couldn't decided whether it was convenient or not. My white, brown and red onions are swelling, which is exciting. I transplanted some garlic and it was also forming medium sized bulbs. It's my first time growing garlic, and my second time with onions. I've learnt so much..
Also on my to-do list this morning was to plant seed potatoes, but the site I had chosen wasn't big enough. I had to go to work so that will have to wait until another day.
