wildflower seedsToday we continued our work in the vegetable garden at Parkside Centre. We added another couple of veg beds, and filled them all with veggi soil from Tommy Topsoil. We planted broad beans, spinach and beetroot seeds as well as onion and shallot sets in the beds. Four varieties of potato were planted in the open growing area; Sharpes Express, Osprey, Vivaldi and Sarpo Axona.
Although a vast quantity of Blackthorn was removed when we laid the hedge in the winter, there are still quite a number of suckers spreading out in the garden. We grubbed out some, but this will be a continuous task throughout the summer. We sowed a few wildflower seeds in these areas, but they are pretty old and we do not know if they will be viable.
