Planting Out - Early start this year
Because of the mild weather I have put my onion sets out in the ground, and
the first lot of potatoes. The onions I put out last week are already rooting and shooting |

I worked from boards and trowelled in the potatoes rather than trenching because of the wetness Lucky lucky you because really today was so waterlogged - my youngster left a wellie behind him! But that wasn't on my plot ;o) I'm really hitching to start but it's no good yet. I want to see a week or two of sunshine - and the weeds don't seem to be coming up yet as much as I would like. That's always been my indication that's a good time to get going  ) |

The mention of crocosmia brings me out in a rash...lol (I know there not all bad really) Ah, well you won't be wanting any of our home bred one then! ;-) I love Crocosmia but I think that's they're one of the first flowers I clearly remember. My grandfather had the bog standard ordinary one in his garden and for some reason, I was entranced by it. I rely so much on crocosmia for a splash of colour and just love the seed heads and the long flowering time. I've had this one for as long as I can remember, it moved with us from two different houses. I've always called it 'Lucifer' because that's the only croscosmia I know. Could you tell which one we have? http://cjoint.com/?czoYPaeUiy |
