Spent Saturday dodging the rain and doing more planting. Strawberries into the strawberry planter that we'd been using for herbs up to now (now we have a garden we have a herb patch). A row of peas to grew up the trellis on the side of the shed, two rows of beetroot. Garlic in between the broad beans (thought the broad beans would have cropped by now - need the space!). Earlier on I put in a horseradish root and two rhubarb crowns - leaving space for a courgette plant currently growing on in the conservatory. Also growing on ready for planting out later are french beans, tumbling tomatoes for the hanging baskets and a chilli plant - going to get some that will go outside too. Oh and there's spuds in the potato planter round the back - and a large basil plant on the kitchen windowsill. Lots of little gnats appearing in the garden now the weather's warmer so hopefully we will get house martins and swallows later. We get lots of sparrows - the houses here have these square section plastic edgings on the roof tile edges and the sparrows nest up them.
