Red Hot Chilli Peppers

We've made a start on getting some bricks down on the path, but cold weather has curtailed our efforts somewhat. I thought May was supposed to be a pleasant month.
All the asparagus plants are up now. The onions continue to flourish and the leeks are coming on slowly. We have managed to get some parsnips in and plant some runner beans in small pots.
Best news is that three of the chillis we were beginning to think would never come up have come through.
Someone at work offered some tomato plants today. We'll have three and put them in a growbag I think, because I'm not sure there's going to be room actually in the soil.
The flower border is beginning to look a bit like it's old self. we must make sur we don't neglect it completely.
Not sure what's next on the agenda, probably more digging. We probably need a bit of a review. One thing that definitely has to happen is that the lilac bush has got to come out to make room for the new shed, but son-in-law Mick is going to do that for us.
Bikes are nice and clean and oiled, and I'm getting plenty of miles in again.

  1. I'm not sure that we actually planted runner beans in those pots. I think they may be Triffids! I've never seen anything grow so fast. 10 days after we planted the seeds & they have all come up and are 4-6 inches high already.
