Today I planted out my greens - lettuce "mixed", salad bowl and Morton's secret lettuce from realseeds. They describe it as seed from Frank and Karen's lettuce breeding programmes, a huge diversity in forms and shapes, different varieties you won't get elsewhere. Sounds intriguing.
Also planted are some Minibel tomato seeds and regular Kale (called Borecole on the packet). The garden Kale is definitely about to go over to seed so we'll be saying bye-bye to that very soon.
Fruit tree blossoms are almost out; there are flowers on the main raspberry (not the Lidl raspberries) and the gooseberry. I forgot to check the redcurrant.
Planted out today from the greenhouse: 12 kailaan seedlings, 6 on the sunny side, 6 on the shady side. I also planted out 3 "giant" sunflower seedlings. There's lots more kailaan to go out, just waiting to see how these 12 get on before I plant out more.
Melon seeds are germinating in the greenhouse! The zinnias are also going great guns.
We did some more clearing around the pond today and found some strawberry runners trying to grow on nothing so I've transplanted them. See how they go, it's not like there's a shortage.
Almost all the tulips are out: plain yellow, pink, bright pink, flame coloured red/orange/yellow, two tone maroon-yellow, one white-tipped pink. Still no sign of the Queen of Night yet.
