September
- automatic watering for greenhouse
- extend to bird trough
- change bird trough from small leaky trough to bigger and better
August
- Decided to give the tomato thing a try
- Bungee cord idea from viewer garden on Gardeners’ World
- Basil Glut
July
- The Yellow Rattle rattles. After a couple of unsuccessful years I’ve finally got Yellow Rattle (Rhinanthus minor)
- A few very hot days
- Young robin (Erithacus rubecula)
- Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus)
- Leaves already colouring on Rhus typhina (Stag’s horn sumach)
- Poppies growing well and looking good amongst the herbs, where I don’t want them, and not growing at all in the grass, where I would like them
- A Comma (Polygonia c-album). Took me a while to realise what it was
- Teasel
- Mr Mittens
March
- Snowdrops beginning to fade
- Took the bubble-wrap off the greenhouse. Much nicer
- Experiment: Dig in last year’s Chervil into herb patch. Will it work as a green manure?
- The flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum) looking good. Nice bright spring flowers
- Forsythia bursting into yellow
- A spring cut of the ‘meadow’. Let’s see if that helps the Yellow Rattle get a hold this year
- Crocuses and Daffodils
- Revamp of west wall – a couple of Cotoneaster horizontalis and a Ceanothus impressus Victoria might work better on that sunny wall
- New lavender plants here and there
- I now have a Cold Frame! Bought it from same place as greenhouse so assembly was quite familiar
- White flowers of blackthorn appearing after a burst of sunshine
