pond continues

Decided to crack on with the waterfall . Iv been strugling over the fact that this ....really looks out of place :D and 50 50 on just taking it down and using the ground for what i made it for GROWING VEG . Till i got an offer to build one for somthing else and this time il have new materials to work with ,unlike this one made out of freebies & gear i already owned. So as they must of liked I'm gonna finishthis one .18 pounds worth of plants later heres the almost finished pond . Il make my mind up once the plants are grown abit if to keep or not .

Pond day :D

I 'v decided to change my pond today As a friend had some leftover pond liner :D Be getting the slate sheets tomorrow to finish it off


Re potted my suns and stuck outside to try bulk them up . They are abit wimpy atm :/


Finally got to pot up the new poly G/H So pleased as i can now put toms /cuc's in main G/H in there place for the year .

Toms are growing very slow for some reason but my squash and cours are just starting to flower .

In the Greenhouse

Everthing in my greenhouse this year is very confused! Still it's doing ok, wish i'd planted my chillis /toms in December now as they are still pretty small. Really happy with my Scallopini yellow marrows and courgette's just hope they dont get too big before I can plant them out.

Stage 1 waterfall

Guess i had too much time on my hands yesterday so thought it was a good idea to build a waterfall.

Going to have to rebuild this one as it leaks :P Once done I hope to get some small plants /herbs planted between the rocks... got to think of a way to hide the white tub too as looks a bit rubish ..

Wow... didn't notice this but my dogs getting fat ><

Lettuce/ Herbs

My mixed lettuce are still ok; to think they had 1in of snow on them 2 weeks ago :D and my organic slug pellets seem to be doing the job .

Also this last week my herbs have really shot up. Saying that My cori at the back in there has been rubbish from day One, I have some more growing in the g/h almost ready to replace, as well as some lovage/lemongrass and basil.

Its coming to the end for my PSB and kale, i'll be digging them up soon and they will be missed. I just wish i'd made the net cage portable still that can be fixed :)

DIY greenhouse

Wish I'd taken photos from the build start but had lent my cam out.
Still I have nearly finished it, it's the most I can do until in it's final place. I'll update this when the sun comes out and i can get it finish it!
Cost was about £30-35, wood was 34p a meter and 2m polysheet was 1.50 a meter, I got 10meters in the end. Had bought some cheap 3x6 poly tunnels from B&Q but was really too thin so look one back and the other i'll use to make some small tunnels i think.

runners

Was very early to be planting runners And they aren't very happy :/ still 2nd lot in G/H ready incase all s#$t hits the fan . I've found wind's been more an issue than the cold .Hell, they're still alive 2 weeks outside :)

Pea's are doing well. Apart from abit of slug damage







Beets are growin... but slowly ..trying long beets this year really can't wait till the temperature picks up a bit. Just noticed the weeds in this photo ';'will have to sort out tomorrow

1st blog

Right, just worked out how to do this kinda... 1st of all i'd like to show my main garden . Many painful hours but its done for a month or so :D
Main path has come alive this past week



OK thats it of my flowers lets get to the edible stuff....
