Sunday 8th May 2011

We had more rain last night, it was quite a soaking. But the day has been lovely and dry and sunny. I finished tiding the front garden, so it looks much better now. I’ve just got to tackle the back garden and all will be ready for lazing on a Sunday afternoon. As we had a very harsh winter, and I also think it’s through general age, some of the terra-cotta pots have either broken or crumbled, so I am replacing them as and when I come to them. I had to replace 3 out the front, and goodness knows how many out the back. Some of the Scardey Cat plants have out grown their pots, so I’m going to have to repot them. Another busy week planned down the allotment, don’t worry I’ll keep you informed.

  We’ve had a little rain, but it hasn’t really done anything at all. I still need to water just as often. The air smelt good though when it rained. I learn something every year when planting, that’s the joy of gardening. Just go with your gut instinct. If you feel like trying something a different way then do. You’ve got loads on the go this year it sounds like you’re going to have a fantastic harvest. Keep picking the Rocket as and when you need it, that way it’ll last longer and won’t go to seed. Let me know how everything gets one. All the best, Claire.
