Had a good few hours in the garden today and also spent an hour transplanting flower plants to a bigger size pot before they eventually go into the ground on the first week of june. I have never put flower plants in any earlier than june mainly because of the fear of frost. As you will see in the photos i have two different types of onions growing in the polly tunnel ,the ones in the black buckets are ailsae and the ones in the green buckets are unwins exhabition. These were sown in the first week of january so they have not done to bad they are now begining to bulb up so it is going to be interesting to see how they do. I have not grown them in the polly tunnell before so i will be able to compare them will my other onion plants which is SHOWMASTER from marshalls and they will go into the black buckets which is already in position in the garden. I am a bit dissapointed as they have not yet arrived. I gave them a ring and they said i would have them by the seconed week of april. I myslef would rather have the sets that they used to sell but i understand from them that they do not do the showmaster set any more. As to the carrots you will see that the long carrots have now grown to about one inch which is in the blue tubes. I am having a bit of a problem with the stump ones and i can only put it down to the fact that what ever they have coated them with is stopping them from germinating i did not have this problem last year and based on that i will make sure i dont have those carrot seed again.
All looks good Geoff
ReplyDeleteThere is certainly nothing wrong with the longs as you have a few come through
My second batch of stumps are also struggling to come through whereas the first batch came through in less than 2 weeks. I put it down to the weather as the temp has dropped. Give them time, they may appear
