The last day of April and I wonder if it'll be the last day of this crazy weather. Sun, snow, hail, thunder and everything else in between - it's been rather exciting!
Jamie re-potted the grafted bell pepper plants. They're looking good at the moment. Britney, the red one, is in the lead. Orange, Milena, is next with the yellow, Chelsea, not far behind.
The greenhouse is getting interesting. That's the Victorio florence fennel. The mangetout I sowed a couple of weeks ago are just emerging - the yellow-podded are Golden Sweet and the purple-podded are Shiraz. But this is the Boltardy beetroot.
Jamie has sowed the Durango Bee marigolds. They're in the hallway under a grow-light. They'll go to the greenhouse once they've developed. We didn't make it to the plot today (hence the over-dramatised post) because the weather stopped us, but we bought some multi-purpose compost and seed trays so I think a bit more shelf-space will be needed in the greenhouse by the end of the long weekend!
At this rate nothing will get planted on the plot.
ReplyDeleteWell, May has started sunny this morning - fingers crossed!
DeleteI'm afraid it hasn't here!
DeleteI'd better go and plant some seeds then
ReplyDeleteApril Showers Bring May Flowers... Thank you for adding me to your blog roll! It surely has been an interesting month weatherwise - personally I'm stuck as to whether to start planting out or not!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! We're holding off for a few weeks yet. Don't want to have to keep fleecing up. Our temp was zero last night, but 19 during the day...
