13th may update 'which compost'


















Hmmmm,..well there is now some action starting happen within the garden after all the turmoil so far, the peas as you can see seem to be on there way, althougth the photo might not show it most of them are now about 1ft tall and looking healthy, you may have noticed a small bed next to them with a new netting, well that what was left of all my dwarf beans, so in ther i think there are 7 plants in total and i think they will be alright. I have however come across an interesting problem with compost's...note from the photos that the savoy cabbage in the big black pots by the beetroot and peas are growing quite happy with big healthy leaves to boot (they are in a john innes compost) however the othe5 savoy cabbage on the table (planted at the same time) but using a organic compost designed as it were for veg!....are growing at the same rate at all if any..?????confusing stuff , or should i just re-plant in some john innes?...who knows? all i know is there is a good 3inch (general) growth between the two. Everything else seems fine at the mo, toms seem to be happy, althougth i think these will need to be bedded in at some point rather than grow bag, leeks are good, peppers are thinking about, parsnips have finally got the idea nad ...oh yeah i moved the final strawberry basket to the back of the garden, so now there are 3 hanging pots all looking very good, although i might adjust the line they hang on to go across to the othet trees so they get more sunlight (you see) One last phot was of my two climbing roses who are springing into life qute happily. thats it for now.......
