#SixonSaturday My Gardening Week – 16th April @cavershamjj

Garden AllotmentSix on Saturday is a weekly meme hosted by The Propagator. If you’d like to join in you can find more details here.

I’ve been making the most of the good weather by sitting outside reflecting on what’s already been achieved and pondering what needs doing next.

  1. The Triumph tulips which were predominantly pastel colours have been joined by some brightly coloured companions.
  2. Narcissus ‘Ice Follies
  3. The courgettes – ‘Lemona’ (yellow), ‘Romanesco Latino’ (ribbed) and ‘Modena’ (dark green) – which were only compost-filled pots a couple of weeks ago are coming along well

4. ‘Rocket’ potatoes starting to show themselves.
5. Blossom on a mini cherry tree against a backdrop of the ornamental quince which continues to flower away.
6. The book I’m currently reading – Mr Bunting At War by Robert Greenwood – first published in 1941 but now available in a new edition as part of the Imperial War Museum’s Wartime Classics series. Mr B’s war efforts initially comprise digging for victory and reluctantly erecting a dugout in the garden.

Enjoy your garden or outside space this week.
