Quick Visit To Blue Diamond Gardening Centre

Seed Sowing Compost & No.2 Potting-on Compost Mix 3 bags for £12 from Blue Diamond Garden Centre. I'm just hoping these bags have the full 10 Litres in as the last bags I purchased were not 10 Litres worth when decanted into my 10 Litre bucket  

Ericaceous Compost for Blue berries that are coming soon 

Multi-Purpose Compost 10L bags 2 for £8, I do like the westland range of composts for starting and potting on and with my arthritis I can carry these size bags easily. 

French Climbing Beans growing well. I need to make room for them in the climbing frame greenhouse.

Sowed Santa Cruz F1 Spinach 4 number per cell

Idverde have been and cut the grass on the main path. Paddy needs to tidy the edge of his plot up and drag the tree stump out of the way.

Radish Rainbow Mix sown in Square Foot Garden Bed 2 using the seed spacing rule I made from an old curtain rail 12 years ago.

I used the seed spacer I made 12 years from an old plastic curtain rail  


Rainbow Radish mix sown in Square Foot Garden Bed 2, then covered up with potting-on compost.

Covered with potting-on compost, then watered in, I may add coffee grounds either side of the drill next visit and also some deep watering 500ml pop bottles like the other side of the raised bed.

Labels made this morning placed at the end of each drill of Carrots in Bed 15 sown last week.


It gives me great joy seeing the seedings coming up and minor weeds picked out. I just cut off the mares tail as I didn't want the disturbance, I shall just keep it trimmed and dig the roots out when I harvest the carrots.


Red and All Gold Raspberries harvested not bad last harvest was 2 days ago and I eat about a 1/3rd off the bush as I go.
