Its been a busy couple of weeks in the garden, sowing, potting up and planting out. Here the cold frames are full with crops just waiting to go in the garden or on the allotment.
The cucumbers are doing well. This one - variety Emilie has six 'babies' already. The door to the orangery is kept open during the day and it would seem that the insects are in to do their job of pollinating the plants.
Chillies, peppers and squash all enjoying the sunshine and growing well. This spring has been exceptionally dry and sunny and the orangery on the side of the house, gets full sun for most of the day.
Tomatoes, aubergines and more peppers. This year I have planted up two pots of 7 varieties of tomatoes, in the orangery and the greenhouse. And given away to good homes, the remainder.
Every space is filled and just as more needs potting up, it's moved around to the cold frames and on into the ground.
Just a week or so and hopefully a lot will be outside, leaving room for the tomatoes, peppers, chillies and aubergines to expand!! The plants in the garden are looking good too, a selection of my favourite to follow.
Finally today regarding the sewing work. I have finished the little bridesmaids dress for Sarah's Wedding at the end of the month, watch out for the photos. The dress is halterneck and too small to put on the dummy to photograph, so the pictures will be posted just as soon as the wedding is over.
