Took delivery of my cranberry bushes and pink lemonade blueberry bushes and my fig tree today. So I planted the blueberries into the ericaceous bed already in with the other blueberries weeded the bed and gave them a seaweed feed. Then planted the cranberries into 2 separate pots with ericaceous compost with a seaweed feed. Sowed some beetroot and carrots seeds.
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.

"Paprika" french marigolds - a very dwarf variety I like growing with my tomatoes. Saved seed from last year.

Six of the Gigantes beans I left to chit on Monday have shown signs of life. I've potted them up and hopefully the other four will join them soon  Very excited for these!

Black Beauty (packed 2014) - 8 seeds sown
Mikinos (sow by 2017) - 8 seeds
Tristan (sow by 2016) - 8 seeds
Defender (sow by 2016) - 10 seeds
Alfresco (packed 2013) - 8 seeds
Astia (sow by 2018) - 6 seeds

Most packets had 8-10 seeds so I've sown the lot.  With my luck, I'll have 48 courgette plants looking for homes...........or I may have none. Big Grin
There are stirrings in the  compost............green shoots are appearing - Defender and Mikinos so far. I may have  48 plants after all. Big Grin
Astia, Defender & Mikinos have germinated - 11 little babies so far.  I've added sow by dates and seeds in packet sown out of interest. All seeds deserve a chance. Wink
20 babies have arrived now. Alfresco (2013) & Black Beauty (2014) are non-starters. Maybe they really were too old!
