Sowing Seeds again 🌱🌱🌱

                     Good morning from Cornwall ! 

It's going to be a rainy ol' day today , which is good , the garden needs it .

I'm about to get sowing the third wave of seeds . Of what I call the "hot ones " They like it warm . Courgettes , Butternuts , Beans , Sweetcorn . Well , I'm thinking about it and getting everything ready again .

I'm going to have my brekkers and think about it some more .

Rhipsalidopsis rosea - lots of new growth and a couple of buds ! I'll take a better picture when it blooms  .

A few things hardening off outside .

                             Sunflowers - need to plant them out soon .

                                        Globo - giant onions    

                  Did I tell you my lantern has been fixed up ? Happy me  🤍

                  Right ...... brekkers ! 

                                    Have a happy rainy old day !

Migraine

                                          Banana plants in the woodshed over winter .

 ✨✨Yesterday I had the most horrible migraine .✨✨ I get them about once every five years or so . So I couldn't do much at all .✨✨

Today it's not so bad , managed to do a few things in the garden . 

Thinking about pulling out the Banana plants from the woodshed . Maybe next week , we'll see what the weather is doing . I gave them their first  good drink of water from the rain water butt . Well just enough to stir them from their Winter slumber .

Earthed up the potatoes in tubs .

Pricked out and potted on some teeny weeny , but very healthy looking , lavender plug plants .

    

                  Small but very healthy looking .....or I would have sent them back .

I used some good compost with perlite and grit mixed in .

I found these on Ebay - Suttons  - 24 for £10 including the postage .If I can take good and close care of them and bring them all on, then I think that is a good deal .  

 🐝🐝 I want to edge my vegetable beds with them to attract the bees . 🐝🐝🐝

 It was quite therapeutic potting them all up . I had to gently un-twizzle the roots a little bit .

I just need to get some grit to top them all off with . I'll keep them in the greenhouse for a while until they get their roots down .

THEN

We took rubbish to the tip...I told my husband that the tip would not be open on Easter Sunday .🐰🐣🐥

🐰🐥Delivered Easter eggs round to the grandchildren ..yep we thought it was today ! 🤣They were delighted ! 💐🐰🐥

We even had Hot Cross Buns on Friday !

Migraine's given me brain fog for sure !

It's o.k. we'll do it all again next weekend  😃 

It was a cooler morning , we've had some beautiful rain ( it smells so good ! ) , to refill the water-butts, then warming up into the afternoon . 

Migraine easing , foot still hurting , taken silly ankle support bandage off as it wasn't helping .

I just checked on all the seedlings and tomato plants , closed up the greenhouse windows , put the big black bins out . Bin day tomorrow .  Everything is fine . 

                                              Full moon tonight .
