Spring Garden...

It was actually a bit sunny today, so I managed to get into the garden and see what my seeds were up to...

My sweetcorn, sunflowers and courgettes have all sprung up...I had to repot them all last week, cos my mini-green house fell over in the wind and all the soil and seedlings fell out...most of them have survived though!


We have lovely flowers everywhere!





The potatoes have come up!


We picked the leeks and mum planted raspberries in their place, there's garlic and strawberries there too!


I planted broad beans, parsley and spinach in my little plot, so far the only thing to show is this solitary broad bean...will have to plant some more...


The purple sprouting broccoli is still sprouting away, I'm so glad I didn't dig it up!


Mr Next Door's apple tree is beautifully blossom-y...


And our baby apple tree isn't doing badly either!


Have your gardens survived the wet spring?

  3. It's all looking very lovely!

    Our garden has become quite overgrown with all this rain...

    1. Thanks Kay :) Our garden was quite sparse and new, so the rain has given everything a growth spurt, if it hadn't have been so empty to start with I bet ours would have become overgrown too!

  4. Your garden looks great too, you have a great little plot of land for the plants. Everything looks like its going to grow great for you! I hope the weather cooperates with you this spring and summer!

    1. Thanks for your lovely comment Hazel :D I can't take real credit for our garden, it's my mums really, I'm relegated to a bit at the back and helping with any 'big' digging, can't wait to have my own garden to play in though!
