Got the Dwarf French beans planted alongside the broad beans in the main bed. Fleeced them to protect overnight, it's hard to predict anything weather-wise as today it went from freezing cold to sunny t-shirt weather. Still feels good simply to get plants in the ground in the walled garden. Along with these got onions and potatoes in. #dwarffrenchbeans #broadbeans #plants #plantsofinstagram #walledgarden #hanburyhall #kitchengarden #growyourown #growyourownfood #organic
Got what I think is a good selection of cut flowers planned for this year. Here is some of the Gypsophila coming on nicely in its translant trays #gypsophila #gypsophilaelegans #cutflowers #cutflowerpatch #flowers #flowersofinstagram #propagation #seedlings #walledgarden #hanburyhall
Built some runner bean supports and, if I can say so myself, they are looking pretty smart on the formal veg garden #hanburyhall #nationaltrust #historicgarden #heritagegarden #historichouse #nationaltrust #formalgarden #hedges #rhubarb #runnerbeans
Tulips starting to show on the allotment 🌷 - though they're admittedly shorter than expected. Still looking good though #tulips #plantsofinstagram #allotment #allotmentlove #plants #plantsofinstagram #cutflowers #springbulbs #spring
Sown Monday, pictured Friday. Tagetes have got some pace on them. They'll be in that parterre in full stunning bloom before you know it. #tagetes #tageteserecta #tagetespatula #frenchmarigold #africanmarigold #seeds #seedsowing #seedlings #propagation #hanburyhall #horticulture #gardening
Those thousand or tiny impatiens seeds I individually sowed seem have thankfully worked well. Can't complain at a high success rate like that. More than got the 700 I need 🙌
