The primrose seed that I sowed in July are now sprouting, as are some of the seed that I sowed in May. One of the May seed is from a purple plant, so hopefully I will get to see what colour flowers a child of a purple plant gives rise to (although I'll have to wait until next Spring, now).
These are the potted-up plants that I lifted from the front garden in the Spring. I hope to split and re-plant them around the garden in the Autumn. Some pots have seedlings growing in them.
I have now lifted all the spuds, leaving the courgettes and spring onions (in a row on the right hand side of the veg bed above).
The capsicum is looking a bit frayed, as it was subject to attack by sparrows when I left it on the lawn for a while. There seem to be flower buds, one of which has fallen off, but I expect it's too late for it to produce any fruit now.
In the Spring I removed most of the primroses from the front garden and potted them up, as I thought they wouldn't survive the Summer in the sunny conditions. However, the few primroses I left have survived and are now flowering again. I did water almost every day as we had a very dry Summer.
The tomato plants look a bit tall and spindly - I think this is because I fed them prior to the fruit setting. I might not do that again next year. I pinched out some of the Gardener's Delight today.
Here are some marigold (far left), wallflower (front) and primrose (the rest) seedlings.
After lifting the first row of spuds, I sowed some spring onion seed. I noticed today that they're sprouting.
The honesty plants that I grew from seed haven't flowered - hopefully next year.
The crocosmia that I transplanted last year are still a bit sparse, but flowering well. Hopefully they'll get a bit more bushy over the next couple of years.
