hi everyone hope you enjoy paddys day tomorrow. got my fruit patch done saturday and sow some strawberry plants that i bought in the morning, along with four tomato plants. i have both sown from seed but just wanted to get a head start. i also planted rhuburb, my darling hubby got a good start on the veg patch, when i told him my cabbage and carrot seedlings have shown their heads, everyday when i look in the tunnel there is always a surprise. i had left my frutileria bulbs in the bottom of a tower of shelves, to my surprise they have come up big time, now when i open the tunnel in the morning i get this really strong smell from their leaves, it puts a pep in your step to see things changing everyday. i sowed more seeds last nite you should have seen my kitchen, like a bomb hit it.but it was fun. i have alot of pricking out to do at mo, i went mad sowing loads of sunflowers more than i can handle so if anyone wants some of them they can have them in welcome. hope to get my fruit trees that i bought in heatons last wk planted and rasberry bushes changed by the wknd. well happy gardening everyone bye for now michelle

hi all my gardening friends. got all my perenials sown into pots yesturday, cleaned up the back garden and pattio today. i was sitting out today and got a great idea to put a rose garden out the back in front of the patio. i am trying to make room in the tunnel so hardening off what i can, came up with an idea, i had put all the heavy pots outside and a few smaller ones but was too tired to put them all back in so i covered them in fleece and left them out, hope they dont die, i will take the fleece off during the day and then gradully at night, too many to put in every nite, really lazy or what. last night i sowed angels trumpet that i had soaked over 24 hrs but when i sowed them i hadnt read the packet it said on the surface but i sow them deep. does anyone know if they will still grow? well off shopping with a friend tomorrow for the day, it will be a nice day, love buying plants not interested in clothes, have loads of them. well bye for now. happy gardening everyone.
