OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW

Bought a few plants at the Market yesterday.  Doug planted a couple of Lavender in the front garden yesterday while I planted a couple of aubergines and half a dozen dwarf butter bean plants in one of the new built up gardens.  I usually grow beans from seed but these looked good and should be earlier than sowing the seed now.

Today I cleared out all the broccoli plants except one that is not quite ready then weeded, Doug hoed and fed it and I planted a couple of courgette plants. I also sowed a row of mixed climbing beans saved from last year.  A few are scarlet runners and the rest unknown. 

The snails are a real pest this year and had been eating the broccoli leaves.  The foxglove is flowering well next to a few onions.

Looking better.  I also did some weeding and clearing in other parts of the garden.  After a cool snap it is warm today.  21 degrees C according to the computer although it feels more.

We can now buy some more plants and sow some more seeds.  Roll on summer.  I have already made successive sowings of lettuce which we have been eating for a while now.  I add to the lettuce some rocket which I buy at the market for $1.  a bundle.
