Monday: Edible Garden

Another sunny day in Anglesey - temperature in the high teens, would be too hot for gardening if we didn’t have the shelter of all the trees!
I cleared out one side of the greenhouse, chopping back the passiflora, lifting plastic sheets to remove slugs and moving some pot plants outside.
Potted up one of the tomato plants with experimental support, also potted up 4 bush tomatoes “Tumbling Tom” - they have struggled but look ok now!
Noticed the first ripe raspberry, very tasty - gardener’s perks :-)
Runner beans “Scarlet Emperor” are doing ok in their big pot - another group in the deep bed.
Broccoli “Hungry Gap” also doing well in just a couple of inches of soil in the new deep bed - they had some washing up water chucked on them at lunchtime!
The garden is so full of birds and their chicks: greenfinch, goldfinch, chaffinch, Siskin, sparrows, dunnock, blackbirds still eating mahonia berries, a thrush rooting around near the sheds.
Still putting sunflower hearts in the bird feeder but many of the birds are eating greenfly and digging in the plant pots too - so much chirping … and squabbling!
Collected a few stems of Bowles golden grass, now  drying off in a paper bag - first of this year’s seeds for the Seed Swap :-)
Stay safe & healthy & happy everyone :-)
Nos da pawb / goodnight all xx
