GardenTips#05

April 30, 2020 by Gwynne Hetherington

The next few days are more unsettled but with warmer night time temperatures of 4-5C degrees, some showers, hopefully, with sunny spells.

To us this is an ideal time for planting out our vegetable plants which have grown on in our poly tunnel to healthy looking plants and then we watered them well. Then we covered the vegetable bed with our “Wondermesh” with the posts topped with a jam jar to support the mesh.

Going round our garden David has been deadheading the Daffodils daily then he is ready to continue with a low wall using our endless supply of stones. I have been looking out for the Bittercress weeds which are at a stage before they pop their seeds in all directions.

While the sun is not shining strongly I have been taking plants that have selfseeded or plants that have grown too large for the space they are in and are no longer needed, to pot them up for the nursery.

Being one of the fortunate ones with a garden, we are enjoying a more leisurely time getting jobs done and appreciating our environment with the many birdsongs and the scent of the Narcissi and the sight of the Geans in full flower, all of which is awe inspiring.

    I bet your garden looks stunning. We too are dead heading the daffodils as the finish flowering. We plant a few hundred every year and this year we have been rewarded with ‘a host’ of them nodding in the wind. I had to look up ‘bittercress weeds’ I have plenty of them that I’m pulling up but didn’t know their names. I also looked up ‘Geans’ but couldn’t find them, what do they look like?
    We are fortunate also to have a garden and be able to grow fruit and veggies. The parsnips have been planted out and we will be following your lead and planting out more this week too.
