Nick has been transferred to the hospice in Raheny and has made me promise to keep going up in the garden. I have to say that this year we are a month at least behind on everything. On Thursday the weather changed for the better so yesterday I went in to Plant Life on Cork St and bought loads of really healthy herb plants. I got some Oregano, Rosemary, Flat Leaf Parsley, Dill, Thyme and Garden Mint. These have all been replanted in to new ceramic pots.
This year we are putting a full bed aside for three herbs. Chervil, Coriander and Dill. Yesterday I got one bed done with Coriander. I sowed three types, all Thompson & Morgan, regular, confetti and calypso.
Poor Nick is in hospital, so Suzie and I were up on the land yesterday. We planted 2 beds of courgettes, and a bed each of baby beetroot and baby white snowball turnips. The spuds are doing very nicely and about half the bags needed earthing up. Later Suzie did a lot of weeding and I sowed seeds in 14 trays of seeds in the propagator. In no particular order I sowed; Italian Kitchen Basil, Nobellan Lettuce, F1 Red Ace Beetroot, Baby Snowball Turnip, Mint, Tom Thum Lettuce, Sweet Green Basil, F1 Action Beetroot and Little Gem Lettuce.
