This week with the lack of free time and inappropriate weather, was still quite productive.

I planted all of my beans and finally sowed the seeds I meant to sow inside weeks ago. I’ll transplant and sow more directly into the garden over the next several weeks once I’ve figured out where to put it all.

I planted:

• Kale
• Buttercrunch lettuce
• Carrots
• Sunflowers
• Pumpkins (jack-o-lantern)
• Heuchera sanguinea Coral Bells
• Scarlet runners
• Blue Meconopsis Tibetan Poppy
• Sunchokes (rather worried about these as they’ve shriveled over the last week)

Already growing away and having survived the move I also have some lavender and Leptospermum scoparium Manuka / Tea Tree seedlings which I am amazed have survived the neglect:
