Garden – February 2023
he driest February since 1993. During the month I strimmed the edges of the lawn and then spiked it. It seems to be growing well despite the end of month coldness. On the Potato Chitting front all the seed Potatoes now have eyes and they are growing well. The first Casablancas will go in at the end of March, weather willing. I have some Spring Onions, now growing well on the window sill. The Tesco Bag for Life has come off them and they are lapping up the late winter sun. During the next month, I will be mowing the lawn, putting moss killer on it and prepping Potato bags.
Garden – January 2023
Usually, January and also February are months when you mainly complain about the weather really than do real gardening. However, the seed potatoes have arrived (Casablanca and Desiree) and they are are now chitting like the wind. I have also bought some potting compost and I have mint and spring onions in chocolate tubs on the window sill. The spring onion tub has a clear Tesco bag over it to create a slightly warmer micro climate. Outside I still have spring onions and the summer onions are doing well despite the recent frosts. So, the growing season has already started.

Garden – November 2022
Very mild right until the end of the month. Still get Potatoes from bags, containers and even Derek. The last Summer Onions I planted are now showing Green Tips and the early ones are still growing strong. The lawn has patches of compost from Potato bags to fill in the depressions. Still a couple of pots to empty. Festive seed ordering a month from now. Winter now, so everything slows down.

Garden – October 2022
An early morning update just as British Summer Time slips out of the door and Greenwich Mean Time comes in to replace it. The Tomatoes have gone. I had my last Strawberry just the day before and I did with the last Pepper. My one and only Cucumber is still growing. Growing amongst the Mint. There are still some Red Spring Onions growing and the lawn is now getting covered with leaf fall. However, on the growing front, due to the exceptionally mild October my Summer Onions are growing well. Especially the white. I am still lifting Desiree, which have thrived in the small black plastic Potato bags. Still no frost.
