Around The Garden In June

Lucas had a haircut he looks like a puppy again.

Summer squash.

Propagating my strawberries.

Growing the squash up wigwams this year so It uses the space better. I saw this done in Portugal.

I lost some garlic so I have put some weed contral fabric down.

Poppy I grew from seeds I bought form Sarah Ravens site

My flower bed in my veg patch is working well to bring in bees and good bugs.

I have been collecting buckets to put bee loving plants in, i think it looks quite good.

My amazing fence I am really proud of it. I made it with hazel sticks I have been collecting I have only finished one half of it I have to wait till I collect enough sticks.

I have made a mini fence here to keep lucas trampling on my plants but I am unsure of it.

My rhubarb I have found looking good.

They are in flower!! Finally after 3 years.

Experiment 1

Gardening can be an expensive hobby and so i am going to become more experimental with my gardening in order to a) save money b)use the facilities i have c) invent new ways of gardening and become the Einstein of the vegetable gardening world. The last one would be cool if it became true. On a serious note and non related veg subject i have been growing these Edelweiss seeds for months now and so far i have these tiny little seedlings which is great but they grow so slowly and my mother wants them off her window sill. So i have a wine crate and covered the base with straw to keep some warmth in. Hopefully because they are quite well established seedlings they will survive and you are meant to simulate the temperatures of the Swiss Alpes, i am praying they will be OK and not die on me. If anybody knows anything about Edelweiss at this stage in their life because i can't find any information on what to do with them as seedlings i just keep finding lyrics for the Sound of Music.
