A cold but dry winter’s day is a great time to warm up in the garden with some tidying up and redesigning some parts of the garden.
My first project was revamping the old herb garden. Positioned in wrong part of the garden. Far too shady and damp for a herb garden. Leaving the rhubarb, lemon balm and a black current behind the rest was cleared. The plan is to create a garden bed similar to those I saw in a park in Arcachon last autumn.
So the structure needs to be established and seeds of the perennials sow in preparation.
Early seeds are started off on a sunny windowsill to be transplanted later when the las frosts have finished.
The vegetable patch needed weeding an surrounding paths clearing.
After last year’s bumper crop of tigerella tomatoes I am being more adventurous and growing Golden Sunrise, Red Cherry, San marzano 2 and more Tigerella. Similarly the early chilli seeds have been sown in coir growing pugs. Two varieties, Apache and Tabasco.
Despite the cold weather and recent storms there are signs of new growth throughout the garden.
