O.k. Banana number two I'm coming to get you !
Being careful not to damage the beautiful leaves .
I get the wheelbarrow as close as I can to the rootball . I try to get as much of the earth and rootball as I can without damaging the roots if possible .
Done ! 😜 That was one heavy beast !
I plant it up into a nice mix of fresh good quality compost and perlite and watered it in .
This will give it a boost and it can be getting it's roots down and settling into it before the cold weather starts .
I have old polystyrene packaging under and around the tubs . If we get an Arctic Blast or snow warning I will lash more polystyrene around the front .
There is light above through the clear plastic corrugated roof.
Mission complete 🌴🐒💚
Musa basjoo is staying out - I have a cloche to put over it , if need be .
🍌🐒🌴
So then feeling very pleased with myself ..... I got a bit carried away with pruning overgrown bushes .......and this is as far as I got !
I'll come back to it tomorrow !
Other news - My Everlasting Onions arrived 🤩
Good root system .
I got them potted up into a better pot and clearly labelled them so no one will take them for spring onions . I want to build up a nice colony of these Everlasting Onions before we start taking them .
My Red Welsh Onion seeds also arrived and I have sown a first batch .
These are also useful in that they clump up . I hope these will be successful .
Tomorrow I must sort out some more Winter Lettuce seeds and get them started .
Lettuce Vailan didn't germinate.....very disappointed . Oh well ...If at first you don't succeed ...try again tomorrow . 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Off for our afternoon walk and a picnic now . I'll probably fall asleep in the car !
Peace and Love 🕊️🤍
See you tomorrow !
love Debbie 💐x
