Grubby but Happy

I am still optimistically working in the garden, and today decided to harvest the remaining peppers - and pretty much clear GH2 in the process.

I also planted out some spring flowers in the veg patch - Cornflowers and Calendula are meant to be hardy enough to struggle through the colder months and provide some much needed greenery in early spring.  You see - thinking ahead!  Paul and I have already discussed the dynamics of the veg plot for next year...>*!

That is, of course, when the current planting will have come into fruition by March and April.  Over the past month I have also planted the following:
  • Potatoes (for Christmas)
  • Spring Cabbage
  • Onion Sets
  • Broad Beans
  • Garlic
 These have joined:
  • Leeks
  • Parsnips (not many - very recalcitrant)
  • Radish
  • Turnips (don't hold out much hope here)
  • Beetroot (ditto)

In GH1 I also have various seedlings doing their thing at varying degrees of enthusiasm;
​
Chinese Leaves, Delphiniums, Parsley, more Calendula, Sweet Peas, Hot Peppers (fingers crossed I can harvest these soon), Lupins, and various other random plants which seem to have snuck themselves neatly in amongst the known varieties!

Still, a sprinkle of the unknown can make life interesting...

The photo is just YOU. I love it and this is how I think of you in your wonderful garden, planting and pottering about in GH1 or GH2. You do look very happy and content there Rosie.
We do miss you both .... and hopefully one day we will be able to see your garden in person. Enjoy the “Good Life” xxx
