What a warm week!

Certainly got warmer - about 20°C. Did lots of sowing last weekend and the Cosmos came up yesterday. The Coreopsis came up today - so 4 to 6 days to germinate.!!

Yesterday bought loads of bird stuff to try and attract them onto the plot - natural bug killers! Also spent some time building a bird feeding station - some 6ft high! Leaving yesterday - noticed a Great Tit and 2 Robins.

Sowed some carrots in bins - so no chance of carrot fly and the soil is pretty much stone free. Fingers crossed for 3rd year lucky. Put my large tomatoes in their final resting place - in sunken pots in the new greenhouse - surrounded by gravel

Lotty hub
