Gardening in the Rain...


It's wet and rainy in my neck of the woods today. For the past 3 rather lovely days my seedlings have been pleading with me to get them into the ground and for the past 3 lovely days I have been telling myself that I really will do it 'today'.

Well needless to say all my good intentions did not actually get them into the ground on any of those 3 lovely days,  it was today - wet and rainy today - that I decided to actually get my A into G and plant them out :o)


So into the veggie patch went:

10 Pea plants
7 Tomato plants
12 Broccoli plants...


Planted in situ:

25 more onions
10 beetroot plants

Still to go in but now living outside in the rain:


 10 climbing bean plants

and 10 cucumber plants -
 although these I think I will pot on as they might need to live in the conservatory as they like warmer climes than what England can offer :o)


Coming along rather nicely...


My foxgloves are developing lovely flower stalks, one looks like it might be in bloom in the next week or two.

And my Hydrangea's that I have grown from little slips taken last autumn are doing exceptionally well!

I have no idea where they will live when they are a bit more grown up, but I am so pleased that they have grown so!

So much is happening outdoors at the moment. I love how spring just suddenly takes hold and there is no stopping until we reach summer.

Anyhoo - hope you have all had a lovely Thursday - Friday tomorrow and the start of the weekend - I for one am looking forward to that ;o)

  1. I planted spring vegetables mid-April, and I have noticed that just in the past weeks they are really beginning to grow. Your garden is looking lovely; I hope it has a good year. I would never have thought of growing hydrangeas from cuttings--what a great idea, and they are doing so well!
