Potatoes and Blooming Bluebells

Hi Ho Hi Ho, It's off to garden we go

The Rocket from last week has started to come up already.

The bed of Charlotte potatoes is really going for it now, we've earthed up the 4 or 5 plants that were over 15 cm tall. We'll earth up all of them next weekend.

We earthed up the Roosters in their compost bags too :)

The bluebells are blooming, and looking beautiful. We pulled up one that was growing through the middle of the path and gave it to Abi to play with...after I'd modelled it for a photo ;)

The whitecurrants have set berries on, we've netted them up to keep the birds off. The birds had taken some of the berries already, but I think we've saved 95% of them.

The cherry tree is blooming wonderfully, it's a shame we have to net it up.

The blueberry from Wigglys is all set to flower too. The one from Marshalls looks like it won't be bothering this year, but it's looking healthy so hopeful for next year.

The Wisteria is just beginning to bloom too, so the whole of that side of the garden should be covered in beautiful purple flowers within a week or so. Then it will be bee and butterfly mad back there :)
