THIS IS THE WEATHER WE NEED FOR GROWING

There is no doubt about it this is the kind of weather we need to give all that is planted a boost . I have  looked at the forecast and it seems that we might have this fine weather for a week but the old saying is seeing is believing so we will have to wait and see if it comes true.
Today i have potted all my asters so that is one good job out of the way. The next lot to do will be the dahlias but i think that will be in about a weeks time. The pellis plants are not big enough yet to deal with but i should think in about a weeks time they can be potted on. It was around a week ago i bought a pack of 3 begonias so today i planted them in the hanging baskets to get them started. They should give a good show when in flower. Last year i planted begonia rex but for some reason they did not turn out as good as i expected, never mind you do get disappointments now and again.

Having  check  the 10ft green house i noticed i have some room under the bench  and  have decided to grow some mushrooms and to grow them i am going to use a bin about 2ft long and 15" deep. This is something new to me so it is going to be interesting to see how it turns out. (ADVICE WILL BE WELCOME)  I am thinking of growing the button type.
As most gardeners will know there is always something to do  out side of greenhouse work so all being well i am going to take advantage of this fine weather and give the grass a cut or should i say get my son to do it for me but the thing is he has gone to folkstone for 5 days with his mother so it looks as if i will have to try and do my best and have a go. THIS IS ALL FOR NOW UNTIL LATER ON.
