In
addition to securing the hooks to the wall - and plastic cover to the
frame - I placed a tomato grow bag in the base of the patio
greenhouse. I did have one tomato seedling pop up on the windowsill,
so estimate it may get used this year!
March
continued, and our pallid daffodils were putting on a fine show in
the front yard.
Next
mid-March task for me was to pot up a bucket of herbs for the poly
tunnel - basil, parsley, and coriander - hopefully.
The
daffodils were beginning to end up for the year in the back yard,
though the larger paler ones out front were still flowering.
I
started to tackle a redesigning of the back yard, as I became fed up
of having my late father's choices lain there. I don't really think
his ideas match mine too well. I began by digging out ivy and
bindweed from around the apple tree and giving it a prune - the eating
apple tree that is, not the Bramley tree.
I
then filled the space in front of the tree - that had been occupied
by a tulip or two and weeds - with various transplanted plants a
couple of strawberry, a bluebell, some of those purply-pink flowers
with white spotted leaves, a few bulbs from here and there, and a
couple pieces of lemon balm from Liz...
