love nature and live how you like

365 days of gardening obsession

20 January 2007

The sweet peas are up (apart from Mollie Rilestone - which I've re-sown), the salad mixes have germinated in the cold and the onions (Long Florence), Bergamot and Chervil are showing too...
I've fixed my efforts on preparing the potato beds for some 100 plus seed potatoes. I'm cutting new beds, not least because the existing cultivated areas are being taken over by fruit: three new gooseberries (Hinnonmaki, Pax and Invicta) went in this week and the raspberries have arrived.
The aubergines and peppers have been sown and crammed into the propagator - with the heat cranked up accordingly. The forecast looks ominously wintry for the next week so I dusted off the little fan heater to keep the greenhouse frost free when they emerge...

Hi Max - just kinda stumbled in here by accident. Good to see you are still at it.

Hello Andy. Thanks for visiting.

Yep, still at it. I lost the thread a bit last year (OK, a lot), but things are about as organised as they ever will be right now!

How's sunny Cyprus? Sunny??

Yep very LOL. And very very dry, going to be difficult gardening here. Water cuts 3 days a week predicted if we don't get some rain soon.
Come back and say hello mate :-)
Take care
Andy
