Tidy Gardens by Jane: Are We There Yet?

Are We There Yet?

Have spent the afternoon with Mr TG tending our own piece of the planet. Pots have been earthed up & positioned ready for the flower & veg' seedlings that are chomping at the bit indoors. With temperatures set to plummet below freezing tonight, they'll have to stay inside a while longer. The tomatoes & runner-beans are already in pots in the shed, the beans were strangling us a we watched TV so it was time to go.

The Spireas are looking fabulous providing a splash of colour...everything's going mad having soaked up 3 weeks of Spring rain.

The herbs are beginning to poke through & the strawberry plants have flowers already.

C'Mon Summer!

David Marsden said...: Eeek. Below freezing? I hope not - I've just planted out tons of tender stuff into the tropical bed. Oh dear!; 6 May 2012 08:10

Crystal said...: I think the answer to your question is no. We had summer in March, remember ? But it'll be back, hopefully. June, perhaps ?; 6 May 2012 20:38

Your garden looks beautiful in the photos. Glad you got those misbehaving beans out of the house before someone got hurt. Wishing you warm weather! :-); 6 May 2012 22:47

Though below freezing - that would qualify as winter in my parts. You should say, c'mon Spring!; 7 May 2012 03:14
