Garden – September 2023
September, the watershed month. The end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn. However, in the Lovely Lower Rhymney Valley, it was marked by a heatwave and it was out with the watering can again. It lasted about ten days and then it was back to sunshine and showers but at least it was warm. The Summer Onion Sets arrived and I have planted them in five pots already, so I’m well ahead of schedule. I had my first Crimson Crush Tomatoes and Cucumbers from the garden during the month. The rest of the Bush Tomatoes and the Peppers are still a month behind but I have high hopes for them as long as we don’t get a frost. Indoors, the Lemon Basil is still doing well and I am now into the Spring Onions.
Garden – August 2023
Well, August 2023 was officially in Autumn. Rainy, grey and with a couple of named storms as well. Still, lots of positives, less use of the watering can. Potatoes from the garden. Lots of mint and Lemon Basil. Four Crimson Tomatoes and an ever growing lawn. All the Peppers are planted on and the Tomato Bushes are coming on well. Need more compost for the soon to be arriving Autumn Onion Sets. It’s Harvest Home.

Garden – July 2023
The washout that is July 2023 however, it means that there was less use of the watering and a cheaper water bill. The Peppers and Bus Tomatoes are about 6 weeks behind but they are growing well. The Crimson Crush are large but still green. I’s good to come home from work and pick Lettuce Leaves, Mint, Lemon Basil and Summer Onions. The Casablanca (First Earlies) have been making excellent chips and there are still a lot of them in bags. August, it’s looking very much like July. The Great British Summer.
Garden – May 2023
May started off with it being two to three weeks behind the normal growing season. Two varieties of Tomatoes, one of Peppers and one of Cucumbers were all planted on the indoor window sills. Bags for life over them to create a warmer, damper micro climate. So far only three pots have germinated. The rest of the growing was planting Potatoes, earthing up Potatoes and water Potatoes. They, however, are a striking success. Casablancas and Dersiree. The lawn after it’s seaweed feed and two mows, is looking much better, however, the reseeding, not so good. Onions of varies types are all growing well, as are the Radishes. Drought now.

Garden – April 2023
Was April March or was April February? Cold, damp with at least two frosts and daytime temperatures about 10c. So, the growth and the planting are way behind schedule and the growth has been slow. That’s both indoors and out. I have nine Casablanca tubers left to go in and all the Desiree. I have been earthing up my first planted Casablancas and have been lucky that the frost didn’t get them. The lawn had moss killer and feed put on it and has had its second mowing of the year. Strawberries, I’m just going to capture the runners for the plants that didn’t make it through the Winter. Spring Onions, Radish and Mint are all growing indoors but slowly. Here’s to a warmer May.
