Don't you think gardening is a little bit stressful in June? So many jobs to do, not enough time!
I think the garden's looking beautiful right now though, and I'm working on the weed situation!
Look at all those strawberry plants! And can you spot my new shed at the back of the garden? Joe had to put it up for me as I have proved myself a bit useless with a power drill. I'm so happy with it! I'm making a string of pomting (pom pom bunting) to decorate the inside and I've hung up my plus-size garden fairy to guard the door!
I finally got round to filling the second raised bed in the front garden, using the same lasagne method as I did for the first bed. I planted two courgettes in there straight away, and now they've been joined by some peas and lettuce.
There's lovely colour everywhere!
My top garden friend this month was this teeny tiny mouse! Last year I piled up loads of turf and weeds I'd dug up to see if they'd compost. They did compost, but also provided a lovely burrow for Mama mouse and her seven babies. I accidentally destroyed their home when I was digging, then watched as mama carried each big baby to safety in her mouth. I'm not sure where they've gone, but I'm a bit nervous of finding them again!
This little corner houses my fruit in pots. There are loads of blueberry plants, 2 with a good crop of blueberries, the rest are too immature. My tomato plants grown from seed are doing good too, the varieties are San Marzano and Mortgage Lifter. I have Tiny Tim tomatoes growing away in the greenhouse too.
I've been clearing the weeds from the bottom of the garden, for the last 6 weeks or so, I've only got a little bit left to do!
Seeing that progress is SO super duper satisfying!
How's your garden doing?
