April 2007 - The 4 seasons of gardening - Season 2 - Spring

Oh dear, I was too late to see the irises. They have all died.

But these look great. It makes up for missing the rabbit basket at its best.

These cabbages have not grown very well since I planted them out in November. How can I break the news to Clem & Arthur………

Hey, guys. Bad news I am afraid. I could sow something else you will like……

Hope these will be ready for my next visit to cheer the 2 Bobtails bunnies up.

Now for more seed sowing. Some flowers and some vegetables.

Another bunny favourite – French beans! Yummy.

Now I have to plant some broad beans. I have never had any of these to eat. I wonder if bunnies like to eat them.

Now they are all in a straightish line, they must be watered in - with a little help from a tall friend. Now for some companion gardening………

No not a photo of me with other furry friends, but……

Flowers that grow alongside veggies, such as marigolds. They attract beneficial insects like hoverflies etc, to eat all those nasty aphids which attack young veg plants.

Wow! Look at the seeds I sowed 2 weeks ago. That was quick. And finally…

I must sow Auntie Karen’s cucumber seeds that she requested, before I go back to her at The Rabbit House. Fingers crossed they all grow.
