22nd April 2013 Watering with warm water

Early Days - things beginning settling 



Morning
At the side of the square there is a 1m x 60cm cold frame that I'm putting over the plants at night until any chance of frost is out of the way.  The little gem lettuces are looking a bit under-whelmed by it all but they'll pick up.  I read somewhere that you should use warm water for onions and for plants in general so that's what I'm doing.  I've left half a bucket of rainwater in a black bucket to hopefully warm up through the day.   All good stuff.  I've also put 6 strawberrry plants in two planters near it now but you can't see it yet.

Evening
After first mowing of 2013 and fitting a hinge for a gate Have sewn 8 'Enorma' runner beans in pots ready for planting out probably mid-May they'll go back-left and back-centre when there's no fear of frost.  They'll sit on the windowsill for a few weeks yet.

Have also put a hook front centre and rear-centre to put a biggish bungee over the top of the coldframe so it don't get blown away.
