As part of my £50 gardening project, started during National Gardening Week, I prepared the soil and unfortunately had to resort to snail killer (I chose an organic one which is safe for pets as our neighbour has a cat).
Over the last ten days I have been propagating flower seeds indoors. The seedlings are coming along nicely. There are Sunflowers, Marigold, Hollyhock and runner beans.
In year three of my urban gardening efforts, I am no longer nervously waiting for the seeds to sprout. I know, it is a matter of letting them be and watering them regularly – they won’t grow faster just because I look !
I have to say, time has passed quickly and I am rather pleased with the progress:
Sunflowers:
Marigold:
Hollyhock:
Runner beans:
Indian Cress:
Updates coming soon
