Warming Up

It seems like the weather has at last decided to start warming up. It is therefore time to start moving the plants that have been taking over the conservatory out into the greenhouse and, ultimately, out into the garden.

We could be accused of over-doing it with the plug plants this year but better to have too many than not enough. We may have to invest in a few hanging baskets though...

The sweet peas are doing well and have been in the greenhouse for a while now so with the chances of frost diminishing we have got some of them planted along the fence. With a bit of time to get established, they should be fine even if the temperature does drop again.

In other news, we have done a bit of investing in our local bird population. It's always good to attract these little pest controllers into the garden. A new feeding station nearer the house is already attracting a nice variety which we can now sit and look at from the conservatory.

We also put up four separate bird boxes at various locations throughout the garden. These are already attracting interest from the local bluetit population. I only wish they could be encouraged to visit my chillies and eat the pesky greenflies that have made them their home.
