Lots more colour now


Watering the pots last night I was pleased to note quite a few plants comings into flower, in bud or emerging. Allium Purple Sensation, Neopolitanum, Bulgaricum and Cristophii, Rue and Geranium sanguineum are flowering; Verbena Bonariensis, Buddleia davidii, Aquilegia McKana Hybrid and Fuchsia Lady Boothby are in bud; and the Spider Lily (Hymenocallis Festalis) is just appearing above the soil. Oh and the Coriander has germinated.
On the edibles front the fruit on the Strawberries are swelling nicely although there is no sign off any ripening yet. I've got quite a few Tomatoes on both Tiny Tim and Micro, a good few flowers on the Physallis and the Raspberries continue to shoot up at an alarming rate. I hope to get the Cucumbers planted out at the weekend and I also plan to sow French Beans, Runner Beans, Peas and Beetroot direct.
