Well I've been pretty busy in the garden since I last blogged and the lighter nights and the warmer days have seen me outside when I can.
I've put in the structures for the peas and beans in the left hand veg bed. The tall wigwam is for my beans and the smaller structure has wires strung horizontally for the peas.
I've also bought myself a new couple of pots, a very large one for the transplanting of my existing rhubarb that took over the left hand bed last year and with it I shall put the new one I bought this weekend, and when it comes to rhubarb size certainly does matter! The smaller pot is for a new gooseberry, the one in the bed above was munched well and truly by the sawfly last year so may not crop so well this year, so I've bought a new one and we'll see how we do.
The potatoes are continuing to chit ok I think, Geo on the GYO forum had very long chits but mine are definitely smaller.
They are on the windowsill in the utility room and I was concerned that they weren't getting enough light but apparently they are fine!
You might be wondering how Polly pea is doing? ( or then again you might not!) anyway she is in the front porch which is unheated but protected from the wind, and is growing more slowly but just as healthily as you can see from the picture right. She's been joined by 4 other pea seedlings at various stages of development and I will probably plant them out at the end of March.
So I was hoping to get out and plant my potatoes this weekend but the forecast is for another very cold spell at the start of next week so I think I might just wait a little bit longer. I've never been very good with patience!
