Veggies
Slightly later than expected due to the wet weather, but this weekend we have been preparing the garden for this year’s veggie crop and making provisions for the summer. We have the compost bin prepared for this year now, using one of the veggie beds to hold it. I bought three established strawberry plants and I planted them. This is a predominantly a Summer crop so hopefully once they have finished I will be able to sow for Winter.
I have some ‘Niche’ salad sown outside in the beds. I will also sow some in the greenhouse around Sept/Oct time for Autumn and Winter. It’s a ‘cut and come again’ variety which allows for stepped sowing and tasty salad through out the year.

Flowering plants
The pergola has a new wysteria planted in one of the beds. It will take a few years to establish and get going but will look very good covering the pergola. I have set some ‘Russian Giant’ Sunflowers in pots too.
