Things are growing!

Mother nature is doing her job and things are starting to sprut!

We now have red nasturtiums, rocket, radishes, salad leaves, sunflowers, mint, coriander, thyme, courgettes, pumpkins and tomatoes starting to grow. The peas, cornflowers and asparagus peas are trying to make a bid for freedom from the cold frame so seriously thinking about getting them planted up and investing in some fleece to keep them warm if the temperature drops.

Got a couple of gardening jobs done whilst off over the last few days whilst hubby has been off thinking he's an extra in Easy Rider. Two hanging baskets have been planted up, one with ornamental grasses and one with nasturtiums grown by my own fair hands. When we moved into our house, which unbelievably is now just over a year ago, there were two small grasses at the side of the path, however due to my very green fingers :-) they had got overgrown and made getting to the shed difficult, so it was decided it was time for them to go. They aren't being thrown away though they are being moved into the front garden. Another job done was the purchase of extra gravel to go round the pond, we thought three bags would be a good start, in reality we should have timesed that by three at least!! Oh well another trip to the landscape suppliers at the weekend.

I think I've bored you all enough for now, I'll tell you about the frogs tomorrow...
