Warming up . No frost . Mild , mizzle and misty morning . The sun did try to come out now and then .
Yesterday I sowed a second wave of seeds on the heat propagator . Artichokes , Lobelia , Coriander and two varieties of Zinnias .
....and look ! .....one Zinnia seedling has germinated overnight !
In the shed , seed sowing continues with Parris Island Lettuce , Forellenschluss Spotted Trout Lettuce , PSB , Evesham brussels sprouts , Radish " Red Meat "and Dwarf Curly Borecole .
Leeks " Bleu de Solaise " are up ...I am still trying to find L. Jeune de Poteau seeds . Please let me know where I can get some ?
Ricardo did a great job of painting the Veg Trug and together we got it re-lined and partly re-filled it Hügelkultur style with branches and sticks at the bottom layered with partly broken down wood chip the tree surgeon left for us . We are going to do a layer of good garden earth with worms and top up with fresh compost . We'll finish this tomorrow . Ricardo wants a big bold display of flowers in there !
Very excited when my Spray Paint /Varnish stuff arrived !
Goodness me it stinks !
I was very excited to do this particular piece of driftwood . . . but I am disappointed as it didn't really look much different .
Maybe I need to give it a second coat ? Someone recommended this spray paint to me but I'm thinking a small pot of yacht varnish would be more effective and a whole lot cheaper .
These pieces are now drying out in the greenhouse .
Ricardo is going to fix up a hook in the greenhouse for my wooden lantern tomorrow .
It was a wonderful charity shop find , I fell in love with it as soon as I set eyes on it 🥰💞💗
I know what you are thinking ... tatty old thing ...... but I love it !
Cucumbers not looking quite so happy , hopefully I can pull them through .... I could sow some more if need be . Not too late .
💞 The Passiflora seedlings are doing great ....I can feel their happy vibes ! 🥰💞
Celandine
Comfrey ...... and the Bumble bees are out and about .
Wishing you a great weekend 🌱🌿🐝🐞🦊🦡🪷 x

I love checking out what others are doing in their gardens and greenhouses. I never had a Spring that I didn't catch Spring Fever:). Best illness ever 😀. Have fun playing in the dirt !
