BLACKCOUNTRY GARDEN

IN THE COMING WEEKS  WE WILL BE TALKING GARDENING, NOW THAT WE HAVE  GOT OVER THE WINTER AND ALL THE COLD WEATHER, WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO THE SPRING AND THE PLANNING AND PLANTING OF ALL THE NEW BEDDING PLANTS READY FOR YEAR AHEAD, ONE OF THE FIRST SEEDS I START OFF IN THE GREENHOUSE IS THE  TOMATOES, I START ALL MY SEEDS OFF IN A SECTION I HAVE MADE WITH SOIL WARMING CABLES I HAVE PUT LOTS OF PICTURES ON SO YOU CAN FOLLOW THE PROGRESS ALL THE YEAR HOPE YOU ENJOY IT.

COMPARTMENT COVERED WITH PERSPEX SHEETS, AT THE MOMENT I HAVE STARTED A LOT OF STUFF OFF FROM SEED INCLUDING THOSE BELOW ALL PLANTED FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY IT MIGHT BE A BIT TO EARLY BUT WE WILL HAVE TO SEE. YOU SHOULD BE STARTING YOUR SEEDS IN MARCH SO THEY SAY.  

ASTER   LETTUCE   NEMESIA   GERANIUMS   BIZZY-LIZZIE   FRENCH BEANS IN POTS   BEGONIAS   BEETROOT    TOMATOES YOU HAVE TO GET THEM IN EARLY.

THE PICTURE ABOVE ARE LAST YEARS TOMATOES, IF YOU ARE GOING TO HEAT YOUR GREENHOUSE YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF ELECTRIC. PARAFFIN. GAS. AS YOU CAN SEE THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT I HAVE A PORTABLE GAS FIRE. A BOTTLE OF GAS LASTS ABOUT 120 HOURS. I FIND IT IS THE CHEAPEST I HAVE TRIED THEM ALL, BUT IT IS UP TO YOU
