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)
