Saturday 9th April 2011

Another glorious day. We are being spoilt, I’m sure it won’t last. Got my Butt Pump out for the first time today. It’s nothing rude, so stop all those rude thoughts. To be honest it’s a bit of a joke in our house. All it does is pump the water from the bath to the water butt outside, then I put that water on the garden. Sometimes it’s a bit hairy and bubbly, but the plants don’t seem to mind. I’ve had to re pot all my pumpkins as they’re getting too big for their 3 inch pots, but that a good thing, so hopefully I’ll have lovely large pumpkins in the Autumn. Most of the seeds in the greenhouse are growing well, the sweetcorn bursts through the soil like little green pencils, every time I look there seem to be more. I’ve potted on my Jumbly tomatoes that I got from Victoriana Nursery Gardens, I love no knowing what will grow. Hopefully I can sneak a couple of hours down the allotment tomorrow after ringing, got bits to put in.

  1. Oh I want a greenhouse! Never mind ….one day. The butt pump is a great idea. I want to get one of my own. Still watching the Horticultural Channel. I especially enjoyed the charity gardens. Looks like I am going to have a decent pumpkin harvest this year.

    • I got my Butt Pump off the internet, and it’s a great way to get water from one place to another. Let me know how your pumpkins get on, I can’t wait to see how mine turn out, they’re growing very well so far.
