Portugal my polytunnel is full to the brim with rooted plant cuttings and vegetables. It's amazing how much difference a piece of plastic difference in creating a micro climate.

The plant pot garden seems to be a success. Who needs raised beds when you have got plant pots and containers?
Aye, all looks well at The Northsider Plant Nursery. Keep up the good work. Do you sell garden gnomes?
ReplyDeleteThanks YP. We have enough problems with Leprechauns. Seriously I have thought of making garden gnomes.
ReplyDeleteIt's all looking good now Dave. What a shame I can't send you all our surplus plant pots. We have too many so are having to take them to the reuse/recycle centre before we move.
ReplyDeleteI get mine from a recycling centre and other people collect them for me JayCee. Thanks though! I am sure there is some allotment holders or fellow plant mad gardeners who would like all those plant pots?
ReplyDeleteI picked up about 25 of them last year. I intend to use them for herbs. Last year wasn't very successful for me. However, I will try, try again.
ReplyDeleteRecycling centre people will collect plant pots for you Debby. You could also ask friends and neighbours to start collecting them for you. It's better than them going in landfill sites.
ReplyDelete25 will do me do now. If I am able to be successful at this, I will perhaps need more.
ReplyDeleteI have hundreds and hundreds of empty and full plant pots Debby. Propagating plants is an hobby that can turn to obsession. I don't mind though 😄.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your garden. You have been very busy over these last few months. I have lots of pots, old tyres and half wine barrels in my garden. It lifts the plants higher and pots are easier to weed and de-snail
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. I spend a lot of time in the gardens and polytunnel. Anything with a good depth of soil improves drainage and it makes life easier for gardeners, especially people who are older than fifty.
ReplyDeleteI am planting my potatoes tomorrow. So very excited!
ReplyDeletePlanting potatoes and digging for potatoes treasure. Highlights of the growing season.
ReplyDeleteImpressive projects going on there. Well done you.
ReplyDeleteBut who's to say the shadow isn't a ghost....
Thanks The bike shed. It's wearing an hat, reading glasses and holding a mobile phone. It could be my doppelganger perhaps?
