Beltane

Yesterday was Beltane for us down south. 

Which means the growing season has now well and truly begun. 

I’ve planted butternut pumpkin seeds in here this morning. 

The cover will stay on until the seedlings are well on the way to growing. 

I’ll let the vines sprall everywhere.  It will help kill the weeds, and keep the ground cool.

That should hopefully help the fruit trees that have survived 

Next autumn I’ll plant the orange and lemon trees I saved and have been growing in the pots. 

Now I’ve got the extra protection from the rabbits  

This wicking bed had the potatoes 

I’ve half harvested so far.  I’ll harvest the rest when I’m ready to plant 

I think more tomatoes in this one. I’ll Google and see if it’s a good idea to plant 

Tomatoes in the same soil. 

They do come from the same group, so maybe not. 

This is all part of learning. Thank goodness for Google 

The weather today is lovely sunshine. 

Everyone is out mowing.  

More rain is predicted, and lots of places have been put 

On flood watch. 

I did have to get rid of ants in my kitchen yesterday, 

I believe them before I believe the weather man 

They have never been wrong.
