Assembled mini greenhouse this morning (£60 from Homebase in Kendal). Put the greenhouse on patio near the house. It only gets sun from about 1pm. There's nowhere with more light near the house. Alternatively, I could put it in the veg plot ( which is somewhat self-defeating) or possibly make a space for it near the shed when I rebuild it, though this area gets more afternoon shade.
Potted up herb seeds with Genie's help this afternoon, and placed in greenhouse. Parsley, corriander, basil. Also tomato (Alicante). Last year, I didn't plant the tomatoes quickly enough.
Dug out the stone mint trough, which did almost nothing last year, and re-potted some roots. Also started some bits of root ok n the greenhouse.
Great little investment, just ordered seeds from sutton seads,, let's hope I get time to clean the greenhouse and get them done.. wish I had more time.
ReplyDeleteSpring is nearly here and the bluebells will be out, the magnolia is budding always, soon the hammock will be put together and I can sleep in the garden looking at the stars
