It seems silly to plant up more tomato plants when I have already done a dozen – How many tomatoes do I need! The same with the roses – my red ones will continue as before, but this year I have loads of yellow ones and maybe some black, white, pink, etc. It is always exciting to see what appears – I plant random bulbs and things and then forget about them. Last year it was evening primrose and chicory that I did not plant, and fennel that just appears in odd places, I did plant some 5 years ago and even found some plants in the gutter 50m down the street. Rosemary is slowly spreading as is the sage. Mints are variable and the labels for most have gone missing! Nasturtiums are doing well and so is the lemon coriander which is supposed to attract friendly predators.
Few birds in the dawn chorus again – just a loud blackbird and a couple of pigeons. Also no butterflies yet – I have stinging nettles and buddlia amongst everything but no sign yet – it is sunny but cold and windy today. just made some bread – OK’ish.
