Slight slip-up yesterday, so apologies. I published the wrong
Cosmos photograph. The plants pictured were Cosmos Sonata – a superior variety,
of course – as you can see here. We still have a few available. Remember the gardeners’
odd number rule – plants look better in three’s and fives’s. But you can have
singles if you prefer – but only whilst stocks last
I had planned to give you a bit more information about
composting today, but time-pressure prevents that. I have just checked the heap
– it is still running at 65 degrees Celsius. It is often said that amateurs –
and I’m certainly that – cannot run hot heaps. Well, I run mine hot and get an
excellent result from it. And I’m keen to share the knowledge I have but, I
find, not everyone gets as excited as me about rotting stuff down. “There’s
none so queer as folk” – especially garden-folk!
Plants-a-plenty!
I hear the greenhouse calling, so must tear myself away and
attend to the next round of potting on (and it is rather cool out there today). But first, a quick update. But for a
few stragglers, we are now out of all the garden-ready perennials I had put
aside for this project. It has been a process of learn-as-you-go so I was not
expecting the most recent demand. This came in the shape of “Please make up a £5
box for me” – or £10 or £20 as per request. You’ll see this reflected at www.give.net/BCM - look top right at “cash
raised offline”.
So, before we move into the next phase may I check if you need
any of the following?
- A few Turk’s Turban left – repeating myself, a really good idea to get children interested - you get such a spectacular result!
- Staying with veg; we still have a few kale – both types – see Monday’s post
- And broccoli – see the same post
- We have some French Marigolds – reputed to keep greenfly at bay
- Then there are the Cosmos Sonata – certainly worth trying

When I checked the greenhouse before lunch I noticed that the
young tomato plants were growing fast so they become the next priority. Lettuces
are doing well, too. There will be more flowering plants, too – like dahlias,
perhaps a few chrysanths – the list goes on. Thanks for stopping by – do call
again at …
The Garden Codger Nursery
PS – a regular reader has spotted the lack of Clematis, so
far. We make amends with a lovely shot of her own (and return to the subject at a later stage)
