Garden News for May

Already into June! I have been back from Spain a week.In the two weeks I was away my garden had turned into a jungle of greenery! I am just beging to get it tamed.
Today I sowed more seeds both  in the greenhouse  and outside.
The seeds I sowed at begining of May to replace the plants that were killed by the frost were ready to plant out...so now I have all my runner and French  beans, peas and courgettes looking good....no more frosts please!

Tomorrow I have all the broccoli, sprouts and kale to plant out.

 And a few more seeds to sow, then its just the leeks to put out, they are not quite big enough yet ... and then I should be able to get on with the flower borders.

While I was away my beautiful double red hawthorn came into flower.

  1. Wow, that is impressive. I spent the day in the garden too, tackling the pesky weeds. Nothing like the taste of home-grown!

  2. You have great work done, I am so far behind, seedlings still on windowsills waiting to be planted out.

  3. I'm suitably jealous of you all. If I had a garden I'd probably kill everything in it anyway but it's so wonderful to hear about yours.

  4. Wow, I now suffer from garden envy. You did really well, I'm impressed. Did you have to spend a lot of time in the garden to get this result?
