Spring plotting

It’s chilly and damp this morning so it’ll be the first day this month I’ve not been to the plot.  I’ve now emptied the pallet compost bin, forked the ground over then added material which I’d put into a couple of old compost bags over the past month or two.  I’ve even made a start on rough cutting the grass path edges round and across the plot, which is generally the last item on my to do list.

I’ll now turn my attention to weeding and hoeing the main flower patch.  This picture shows it from the roadway down to the shed.

The bright green area are self-seeded poached egg plants (limnanthes douglasii) which should provide a yellow carpet of flowers in a few months time.  There are far too many self-seeded collomia grandiflora seedlings this year, some which I’ll transplant and pull the rest up.

Have a good weekend, and take care!

  1. Your favourite job, cutting the grass paths! The poached egg seedlings are a pretty lime green. It sounds as though you are up to date on your gardening chores.

    1. Liz the only good thing about it is that the cut grass goes on the compost heap. They sure are. Yes almost, but there’s always something to do. xx

  2. Spring still active with you so that’s very promising. I like the natural divider you have with the poached egg plants. They are already brightening up the surroundings.
    Have a pleasant weekend Mr F. Xx

  3.  I do like poached egg plants, they are a flower from my childhood as we always had a lot in the garden.

    The weather certainly has turned colder but hopefully the sun will shine 🙂

    Have a good weekend.

    All the best Jan
