Nice to see some things I planted around 3 weeks ago growing though - the leeks are just coming up, as are the marigolds too. Planted some lobelia seeds, but nothing showing there yet.
Have managed to get a few things planted today:
- trailing lobelia
- salvia
- sweet peas (these will go with my runner beans to encourage bees)
I grew some pak choi in the greenhouse over winter & now I have loads of it ready - am going to have to try to find a few recipes on what to do with it!
Have come inside to get a bit warmer with a cup of tea, although no rest for the wicked as I have to now go out & walk the dog - brrr!!!
Thank you for visiting my blog :-)

The Greenhouse definitely helps to be able to plant things earlier in the year. This year I'm also planting a lot more by seed, in order to save some money. I have planted quite a few flowers now, that I would normally buy as plants later in the year, so fingers crossed they do well.
ReplyDeleteah so now you have me thinking. I have some sweetpea and runner beans sown. Now do I intertwine them as they grow or just plant the sweetpea nearby? I would never have thought of that and I like the idea of it!
ReplyDeleteThe way I do it is to grow them side by side & they intertwine themselves together. The different flower colours look great together & I always get lots of bees, so more beans. I have just finished the last of the bean about 2 weeks ago from the freezer!
