What’s Growing?

Still haven’t put anything into the planting box yet… we’ll pick up some seedlings at the markets on Saturday.
I did (finally) clear up all the old pots with dead sticks and dry dirt..

plants - pots

Ready and wating for new inhabitants!

It was a bit hot today, wasn’t it? My little pot plant garden seems to be doing well, though..

plants - strawberries

The strawberries have picked up..

plants - hyssop and succulents

My fresh, new hyssop plant πŸ™‚

plants - aloe vera

The aloe vera is a bit sad… it needs watering a bit more regularly, and to be thinned out. The neighbour will be getting the biggest one, so that should help.

plants - mugwort etc

Citronella in the corner, mugwort on the end, and a tiny tree we transplanted from the last house – it grows beautiful scented white flowers. Needs a new pot, though.

plants - southernwood and chocolate mint

Southernwood and chocolate mint.

plants - corner

Here’s the corner garden!

plants - seeds

Seeds ready for when we get potting mix on the weekend..

plants - citronella cuttings

My citronella was growing straight up, no branching out.. I’ve chopped it off, and put these cuttings in water to see if they grow roots… should be useful for summer..

Looking forward to a greener view from the patio!

… and how doesΒ yourΒ garden grow? πŸ™‚

Planting Time!

We now have a raised planting box in the back garden…

So far, we haven’t decided exactly what’s going in there, but it’ll be of the edible variety πŸ˜€

In other news – Spring has sprung!
I’ve had a dead looking hyssop plant in a pot for ages… I was just about to throw it out, when I realised there were new green bits growing..

(That would be the green blob in the centre of the photo..)

My chocolate mint has been a bit straggly over the winter, but that’s coming back now..

(Yes, it really does taste like chocolate and mint!)

I’m looking forward to planning a food garden…
Here’s to growth and abundance! πŸ˜€
