Could it possibly be true? After months of snow, frost, rain, darkness and general weathery unpleasantness, QuirkyPig woke today to glorious sunshine and a much improved temperature. Of course, this meant rushing out to the garden to get some more seeds sown and a blueberry bush planted up.
Currently in the propagator:
Veg/fruit/herbs : 2 varieties of tomato / basil / yellow crystal cucumber / tabasco chilli pepper
Flowers: coleus / actinidia / blue chrysanthemum
This is my first attempt at cultivating blueberries - apparently they like an acid (ericaceous) soil and to be watered with rain water, rather than tap water. Currently, it must be said, my two plants are not looking too impressive. Think twig, rather than bush. Hopefully, they are just dormant, rather than deceased...

Good on you on the growing your own. I keep saying that I will get round to doing it but haven't yet,but I'm determined this year we will. Have got all the stuff ready to plant,so fingers crossed for an ok weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emma. Hope you get to grow lots of lovely stuff this year. It's so rewarding (not to mention heartbreaking when all one's precious seedlings get munched by the dastardly slugs!)
ReplyDeleteI have nominated you for a sunshine blog award
ReplyDeleteGosh, thanks Emma. That sounds most exciting :)
