Pricking out the Swiss Chard and Sweet Sultan seedlings

It’s time to be ‘pricking out’ my Sweet Sultant flowers and the brightly coloured Swiss Chard seedlings, and get them ready for their next stage of growing.

A snowless Saturday and a windowsill of seedlings

It’s a busy Saturday in the garden as Winter eases off. There’s sowing, pricking out, and shed sorting to do!

Go digging in the garden

I've nurtered this #lupin (1 of 3) for about 3 years now, and finally it is rewarding me with a spike of #flowers. The bees will love it. . . . . . #gardening #growityourself #homegrown #flower #flowerstagram #gardener #garden #red #pink

Happy #bee 🐝 . . . . #gardening #pink #roses #rose #petals #garden #gardener #flowers #flower #nature #bees #pollen

And of course, the #foxgloves are beginning to open their #bell shaped #flowers. The #bees will soon be climbing in there for pollen. . . . . #growityourself #homegrown #flowers #digitalis #beefriendly #gardening #gardener #garden

Photos don't do these #giant #pink #coral #poppies justice. I grew this from seed a few years ago, and now it is loaded with buds and returns every year. It is #beautiful with its #flowers that the #bees love to visit. Each #flower is about the same size as my open hand. It's joined here by the blue flowers of the #borage which I also grew from seed a while back and the bees love this too. No wonder I have a bees nest in my loft at the moment (oops). . . . . #growityourself #gardening #gardener #garden #pretty #homegrown #poppy

I grew this beautiful #pink #poppy from seed a couple of years ago, and this year its full of buds. . . . #pretty #garden #gardening #gardener #homegrown #flowers #growityourself

Planted my #borlotti #beans outside against the canes 2 days ago, and they're already nearly at the top and clinging on 🙄😱 . . #climbingbeans #gardening #growyourownfood #growityourself #digforvictory #veggies #veg #homegrown #garden #pulses #wigwam
