I had a walk around my garden again this morning and found some seeds have finally germinated. I am excited because it means spring has begun. At least in my head-the outside temperatures first thing in the morning tell a different story!

I have some tomato, chilli and capsicum seedlings that have appeared over the past two days.

I also have something else germinating here, but can’t tell you exactly what it is. Looking at the colour, it’s potentially some spring onions of the ‘Red’ variety that I sowed, but I could be wrong. Whatever they are, I’m happy they have germinated.

Looking at my potato sacks, at least one potato tuber has been busy as its shoot has just about broken the soils surface. The others shouldn’t be far behind. I’m hoping for a good crop of potatoes this year.

While I was outside, I this little ladybird on my brassica seedlings. It’s nice to see something other than snails on my plants at the moment, so it’s very welcome.

In the rest of my garden I am happy to say that everything is growing really well. I am going to do some sweeping up in the garden tomorrow-it’s a job that I keep putting off because I don’t like doing it. It does need doing though and once it’s done, it’s done.

I will need to do some potting up this weekend, as my poppy and brassica seedlings are looking like they will struggle if I leave them any longer. I will likely do this on Sunday morning.

Until I have another update from my garden, I wish you a happy weekend.
