I'll let storm Dave blow over and see what else I can do. Back into the cellar tomorrow!

Good Saturday? Oh, sow sow.

I got some of my gardening done today. I've sown outdoor tomatoes, sweetcorn, garden peas, more potatoes, and pricked out my brassicas (sounds painful!).

#Gardening. Beautiful day. Planted the remaining Walla Walla onions plants, & a row of yellow onion sets. Mulched & watered them in. At the end of the bed, planted some flowers. Man does not live by veggies alone. Dug some Egyptian Walking Onion scallions. 🌱 #KitchenGarden

A SPRING GARDEN IN A DISH — A VINTAGE TRADITION🌿 A quiet return to a vintage spring ritual — small windowsill gardens grown from carrot tops, citrus seeds, and herb cuttings. This gentle practice invites patience, observation, and care, offering a simple way to welcome the season and watch something living unfold day by day.

A quiet spring ritual 🌿
Carrot tops, citrus seeds, and small cuttings grown on the windowsill — simple, slow, and beautifully alive. A vintage tradition worth keeping.

I’ve grown spinach in the greenhouse over winter. There were slim pickings in the depths but it’s gone wild now 🌿🌿🌿🌿

The back garden may be a mess, but it's my mess, and perhaps it will be a little less messy after the weekend?

Plus, there are gooseberries. Did I mention that?

And I'm finished for the long weekend! Hooray!

Of course there's a storm forecast.

I've got home to find our first gooseberry flowers. The broad beans are coated in flowers too.

Blueberry bushes mulched with dark, crumbly ericaceous compost and leafmould, each plant set within a wide layer of pine needles covering the ground, with fresh spring growth just beginning to show.

Early spring blueberries fed lightly, then left alone under a good ericaceous mulch. Seaweed tea just to settle them in. Feed again at fruit set if needed, but restraint matters as much as generosity. #blueberries ˙ ✩°˖🫐 ⋆｡°꩜

Chinese Chives mulched with old tree leaves. On the right, barely visible, are Walla Walla onion plants that I planted today.

Today I cleaned up the Chinese chive raised bed, weeded, gave organic fertilizer and crushed eggshells, and mulched. They will be ready to harvest soon. I also planted a row of Walla Walla onion plants, barely visible on right in photo. More tomorrow. 🌱 #kitchengarden #gardening

More springy activity, on a nice day after a cold, windy start.

Currant flowers, a hybrid I think, not blackcurrant.

スナップエンドウの蕾

家庭菜園スナップエンドウエリアの様子。 伸びてきたというか、雑然としてきたというか…😅 畑の中に落ちてる黄色は、横にある花柚子の実。まだ木にいっぱい残ってる。

スナップエンドウに、最初の蕾がついてきた！
まだ朝晩寒いけど、頑張ってくれ〜🫛

Purple-green potato foliage pushing through the soil on a kitchen garden allotment patch - first shoots of Red Duke of York emerging.

‘Red Duke of York’ coming through on the patch - that purple-green on the first leaves. One of several varieties of potatoes we’re growing this year, but the first to make a grand entrance. #EdibleGarden ˚˖𓍢ִִ໋🌼🌞🥔˚˖𓍢ִ🌿˚.

Two stickers with creamy backgrounds, one showing a fig with a David Bowie vibe labeled ‘Figgy Stardust’ and the other showing a white goose in a silly hat holding a basket of berries in its beak and a bigger illustration of gooseberries on the left labeled ‘Silly Gooseberry’. Both from One Green World nursery in Oregon.

Speaking of Gooseberries, I collect plant and bug/other nature stickers to decorate the silver steel boxes I organize my seed packets in so I just got these two winners.

🏷️ This variety is Dulcis, we are hoping to grow Robijn as well.

The blossom is stunning and I can't wait to see large trees full of blooms. That's my first baby Almond by the way. I'll name him Al! 😃

Worth thinking about: Starting to save water, now!

Drier summers are becoming the norm. Consider: Water Butts, guttering on sheds, greenhouses, fixed to side bars on polytunnels, even fences!
