Radishes are showing, peas are showing, raspberries are leafing out, fruit trees are in full bud nearly ready to bloom. I’ve hit them (fruit trees) twice now with h2o2/insecticidal soap to deal with the aphids, thrips, caterpillars etc and powdery mildew.
The tomatoes and lettuce in the garden room are doing OK, though some of the heirloom tom seeds are less than fecund.
Only 8 of the dozens of poppies I seeded came up, don’t know why that would be, they’re all in the same bed. About a dozen or so daffs are in full bloom, as is the retard rhodo. Going to plant some hollyhocks on Tuesday, and maybe some nasturtiums in the rose beds. Love making salad with nasturtium, it’s like peppery lettuce.
Not much else to say; mowed the lawn again last week, and it is looking a bit ragged already.
Take care all, and happy growing!
We have some Easter lilies blooming this week. I was wondering what nasturtiums tasted like. We have some room in one of the flower beds, and I was trying to find some that are edible.
