Growing

After a wet morning the afternoon really brightened up so I have made the most of it and been out in the garden doing some jobs. Firstly I weeded all the borders and the vegetable patch and then I mowed the lawn. I have then treated the lawn with a weed killer/ feeder that I know is not very organic but I hope will get rid of some of the weeds in the lawn.

The top picture shows where I have planted out three of the courgette plants that I have grown. Two into the peat free grow bag and the other I thought I would try in a pot - see what happens anyway - I just hate throwing the other plants away! I have still got about five tomato, five pepper, four butternut squash, four chilli, and three cucumber plants to find space for. I think I am going to need another grow bag!

The lettuce you can see in the second picture are doing quite well and I am still waiting for two other lines I have sowed to grow. That reminds me - I must put some more slug pellets down tonight....

Wild Flowers or Weeds 2?

Here's another little unknown plant. To me it looks a little like a mint of some kind...?

Wild Flowers or Weeds?

Have been looking and trying to identify the wild plants that are growing towards the end of the border on the left of the garden today. Haven't been able to identify any of them as yet and may have to wait until flowers appear. They may of course be seedlings of larger plants like trees. I'm sure one seedling is a horse chestnut from a conker off a nearby tree. As it seems to have grown so well I may pot it up and keep it as a small plant.

Anyone who has any ideas on the wild plants leave a comment - it would be interesting to know what they are. I will continue to try and identify them this end...
