So I finally got round to digging out the wellies. Look out garden here I come!

In April I was able to do a fair amount of prep in my garden, planning the size and location of my newly expanded Cultivation Station, I was even successful in recruiting myself a little help setting it all up. I say help, mummies little helper is not so helpful after all, good boy raking my dirt but bad boy for taking a hammer to my Cultivation Station! Thankfully it survived his bashing with just a few dents and scrapes.

I planted my seeds in polystyrene seed trays and to my surprise they all started shooting and growing quite enthusiastically (Yep I’ve still got it!) However long bank holiday weekends camping with the family and work commitments meant I still hadn’t managed to get out there and plant my seedlings.

But now I’M BACK, I have now planted out some of my seedlings I planted in April YAY!. With mummies little helper again helping, but not so much! I have put the little babies in my gargantuan Cultivation Station. I have tried listening to the Virgin Gardner (she cracks me up) and tried to do companion planting to ensure bugs etc don’t eat my veg but only time will tell if I got it right (indeed if she got it right). Our Virgin Gardner keeps talking about a plan but I must admit I have no plan. What with mummies little and big helpers not being so helpful I plant what I can when I can where there’s space. Maybe next year!

I still have a lot of work to do ie completing filling in the centre of my raised bed but at least I have done some planting now. I’m also very pleased with my pretty flowers along the top of my sunken deck and I’ve also got a Lucky Clover hanging basket with pretty flowers in (I like pretty flowers). Last year it successfully grew tomatoes which our Virgin Gardner was quite jealous of because hers got blight.

I’ll blog off for now but look out for my next post where I’ll be getting fruity!
