A busy day of gardening both at home and the allotment.
We planted out some pea seedlings that Buddy had tried to destroy previously – fingers-crossed they will survive. They are supported with some chicken wire and bamboo canes.
I went to Kenyon Hall Farm and spent large amounts of money on beautiful herbs, more pea and broad bean plants, two Delphiniums and some asparagus for tea.
At the allotment I planted out six types of thyme:
Common
Lemon
Golden
Doone Valley
Redstart
and Vey
As you can tell I love thyme!
Next followed two chive and two heartsease plants.
These are added to the lavender, tarragon and sage plants already dug into my new herb beds.
Happy digging!
Yesterday we finished off my new herb beds at the allotment. We have created two L-shaped raised beds with timber planks left on our allotment by the previous owner. In the bare patch of soil between the beds we are going to put some turf and create a small grassy spot on which we can sit and eat our lunches.
So far in my new herb beds I have planted: 2 lavender, 2 sage of different varieties and a French tarragon. I am planning to make a trip to Kenyon Hall Farm to source the rest of the herbs to fill these beds as they have a truly wonderful selection – at least 20 varieties of thyme (which is possibly my favourite herb).
We also started digging on the next section of the allotment – I plan to divide it into four beds and plant potatoes into two of those – they have chitted well and I am behind in getting them in the ground. Work for this week.
