  1. Beautiful Day 6th March

    by , 06-03-2010 at 09:05 PM (Lot Valley Garden)
    Beautiful Day ...blue sky ..warm sun...there was a frost last night and i lost some batavia seedlings which were in the mini greenhouse covered in fleece. Carrot seedlings in bucket survived.
    So today i have sewn some more lettuce - batavia and lollo rosso plus some peppers, lupins, parsley.
    Also put up the 'tent' ready for strawberries and put down some plastic under the cloche ready for the parsnips.
    Photos of the 'potting shed' and the land.
