Pot washing

I went out into the Grow Dome this afternoon with a tray of seedlings that had overgrown the upstairs windowsill (mostly tomatoes) and badly in need of a drink, and the marigold seedlings I didn’t pot up yesterday.
I planted up one tomato (Gartenperle) and one marigold in the Grow Dome, and the rest are waiting to be planted out in windowboxes in a few weeks.
Having done that, I planted out my lettuce trial seedlings into one of the raised beds (there are only 5 left, 4 of them Brown Goldring).

After that I moved out into the garden to keep an eye on the chickens. There’s finally signs of life from both of the grape vines! And I’ve washed all my rootrainers (well, the ones that aren’t still in use) and left them to dry. The blue plastic crates are from the local farm shop – they give them away free in the same was as the unwanted cardboard boxes, and they’re endlessly useful because they stack.

We seem to be living parallel lives – I could almost have written this post myself, bar the chickens. (I think the neighbours would draw the line at chickens on a balcony). My marigolds aren’t as far on as yours though, so for the moment they’re still in their seed pots.
