Garden Progress Mid May 2021

Garden Update 14th May 2021

A decent amount of salad ready in bed 1.

Radishes just about ready in bed 2. Lots of other salad roots growing slowly.

Just look at those beauties!!

Nice healthy pea plants in side bed 1.

The last broad bean planted out in side bed 2.

And a runner bean doing nicely in side bed 3.

Potatoes are taking shape in bed 3.

And more in bed 4 which has become a disorganised mish mash. Oh well.

Brassicas under a temporary mesh in bed 5. Something’s still eating them so maybe a few caterpillars have arrived before the net.

Bed 6 has some tiny but growing onions and leeks. I’ve no idea which is which so hopefully time will tell.

More root veg in bed 7, under polythene for a week or so until the fine mesh arrives.

Squashes in bed 8 under a DIY polytunnel to keep them cosy until summer.

A Little Bit About Me . . .

Hey there I’m Bridie, a busy mum to two amazing humans, a spirited border collie puppy and a pair of sweet guinea pigs. We homestead in a cherished Edwardian terrace in not so sunny Lancashire, England.

When I’m not spending time with my children and menagerie, I’m usually to be found in my craft room creating and blogging or in the kitchen cooking up a big batch of something tasty. I’m always looking for thrifty hacks to save money on my crafts and recipes. Crafting doesn’t have to cost a fortune!

I’ve included links to my favourite retailers for the products I’ve used to make my crafts. Click on any of the product images and links for full details. If you decide to buy any of these products I may get a small percentage of what you spend. There’s no cost to you at all.
