This morning I took a huge risk and moved my broad beans from the greenhouse into the garden, and not in a cold frame either, but directly in their allotted place against my new frame.
But I was telling you about the broad beans. The reason I took that risk is that they were growing at such an alarming rate that they straggled all over the place in the greenhouse. So I thought right! Out you go!
I was visited by a sprite, who probably wanted to take a look at what I was doing and why I was making such grunty noises.
Well, I nearly broke my spade on that rock hard soil, that's why!
I mowed nearly all my grass before it got too hot; anyway, my battery was empty. The first mow of the year is always just a bit too much for it.
Due to that spent battery the orchard remains wild. I really like that Silene. We call it lijmkruid (glue herb).
Such a cheery plant! And the funny thing is that I did not plant that there! I planted it on the other side of the greenhouse, where it did nothing and vanished. But now I have three large clumps in the orchard, so it obviously likes it much better over there. It is very welcome.
Gorgeous leaf colour! That combination really works.
Well, that's it for this week. Have a good Easter weekend if you are so inclined, and keep on gardening!
