NURSERY BOX FINISH AND A BIT OF INFO

Because of the cold weather we have had today i  lit the paraffin fire in the green house and carried on finishing off the nursery box for young plants. Although i say it myself it did not turn out to be a bad job considering i am not a carpenter and also it cost me very little money. I had everything that i needed in my garage which i accumulated over a period of time so you see i do not throw anything away just in case i might need it.

To morrow i think i will do a bit of transplanting of the tomatoes and put them into 4"pots because i do not want them to get to leggy. They will go straight into the nursery box ware they can grow and get acclimatised to the green house  before they get put into there final  growing position  (ie ground and pots) in the 10ft greenhouse.  Well it wont be long now before i receive my onion plants . As i have said  they are the kelsae onion and i intend to hopefully have a good year in growing them and have some good results but time will tell.  There is one thing i will be doing this week end and that is to sow a few more long rooted carrot seed just in case the ones that i have sown do not germinate.
Going from veg to flower seed  all the asters have germinated and doing fine so i will have a lot of transplanting to do later on . Today i planted delphinium seeds which will be just right for next year .It was a long time ago when i last grew these and they are such a lovely flower  so i decide to grow them this year.

Going onto other blogs, i have been looking to see how they are getting on and i have noticed that they are doing very well especially those that do a lot of showing. It really is nice to read there blogs and not only that you can also learn quite a bit re to there ways of growing. It is obvious to me that they do start growing very early and i suppose you have to get things like big onions and so on ready for the shows that they enter in early September or may be sooner  I recall that about 6 years ago when i entered the garden shows with flowers and veg the judging  would be in july so you had to grow early to get the garden ready.
Well that is all for now until later.
