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...
