I managed to germinate quite a few lupins – according to the press, lupins are ‘back in’ – not that I care – just like them but seems now, we should!
Germinated some thyme – saw a bed of it in a 93 year old’s garden on Thursday and that looked good, as a clump. So planted those out..
They are a bit titchy – also scattered some nasturtium seeds and some alysum around the area. we’ll see what happens – need to be on slug alert!
The bed opposite the side kitchen window is slowly progressing. The dahlias shoots are out but so are the blink’ slugs – tried some organic slug barrier and some organic slug pellets – will put out some pots of black currant juice shortly.
Trying to sort the varying heights of the plants and seeds I sow. At the front I scattered some californian poppies to accompany the small seedlings I planted there (struggled in the drought) also some candytuft, some cosmos at the back, some forget-me knot in the middle. Rains forcast later so perhaps a good time to sow.
