Planting Day

This year, being retired folks, we get to visit the garden centres a few days before the big Victoria Day Weekend and so have the choice pick of the plants without the awful crowds. Sheer bliss. It’s an expensive way to garden, but the hanging baskets and window boxes are being prepared and the newly enlarged vegetable patch (not sure I dare call it a potager yet) is planted out – tomatoes, coriander, aubergines, lettuce, haricots verts, Swiss chard, jalapenos and sweet peppers. Should do to be going on with.
