Wow! What beautiful sunny days we are having. I love the blue skies and heat and it’s certainly helping the garden spring into action.
The vegetables and fruit are growing nicely. Tonight for supper we are having an asparagus pasta with our few spears. The french beans and courgettes have been planted out so no frost please!
We also have cos lettuce, mixed lettuce and rocket but the spinach is being a bit slow.
I’ve planted a raised bed of leeks along with some spring onions and carrots. Hollys tomatoes have had a growth spurt. She’s grown maskotka and we also have a couple of gardeners delight and Lucinda.
I’ve also had success with basil, coriander and dill seeds for the first time. The blueberries, strawberries and raspberries look promising if the birds don’t get to them first! Holly loves potatoes and we have a few pots of first and second earlier and some later ones in the raised beds.
The jug is my first crop of cut flowers from the garden. I love having alstroemerias.
Anyone who knows me will know how much I love a hosta.
So far they are all thriving and we spotted that our red poppy had opened this morning.
I was startled by a sighting of a grass snake whilst I was digging yesterday. A guest I’d rather not have in the garden (and one I haven’t told Holly about!).
I hope you are all keeping safe and well and enjoying your gardens xx

Wow! How busy you have been and so much happening in the garden at Spindlewood. Your garden has become so productive, you’ll be eating so well this summer. Nothing like growing your own produce! Thank you for sharing with us.
Love Sarah xx
