A look around my garden this afternoon has shown a little mischief, as well as some more new growth since yesterday. Both are good, although the mischief around my plants could be a little less sometimes!

Cuddles decided at some point that having a dig in one of my pots would be a good idea. I had to re-pot one of my little brassica seedlings and remove the soil from the top of another. That’s the thing with cats-they like digging and lying around on your gardening efforts!

I have three lots of seedlings germinating after being sown over the weekend, which I am excited about. These are cauliflower ‘Mini’, cornflower ‘Classic Fantastic’ and broccoli ‘Waltham’. There is no sign of any other seedlings yet, but it has only been a few days.

I do get a little excited about seeing seedlings germinate as they hold so much potential, often in something really, really small. It is amazing that from such tiny seeds, I can get food or flowers in my garden, just by providing a little care to the resultant plants.

I also harvested two ‘Violet Queen’ beans. That’s not a lot, I know, but two beans is better than none. There are several more growing on these plants, which is good and there are also some more flowers. This is surprising as the plants are looking a bit moth-eaten, but I’m not going to complain if I keep getting some food!

I did give some of my plants a water today, but most didn’t need it. The temperatures are now pleasant, sitting in the early twenties (degrees Celsius) at the most during the day. Wonderful!
