Stuffing the onions

Well I must have done some gardening today: my fingernails are filthy. But without the prodding from the photographs in my blog file I don’t think I would remember.   I blame hayfever.   Addled brain from either too much sneezing or too many antihistamines.

Now I remember: cramming more baby spring onions into the already crowded onion and garlic bed. There isn’t a bit of space available.   Well, I do have a bit of a row ready for some more cleomes, but really it’s onions galore.

And keeping with the upright and green theme, I have planted twenty more eragrostis seedlings in the calabert garden.   The first group (proudly grown from seed) were too tiny to cope with the very cold weather last week. And I held back some forty or fifty more seedlings.   They are still in the potting shed sunbathing.

Next week I may plant them in their final destination – the bank below the pool.   It’s a very dry bank, parched really. So eragrostis might be the only thing that will thrive. Apart from weeds, sorry wildflowers.

The roses are almost but not quite out. They should be perfectly blooming by Thursday when all the house guests descend in droves. But for perfume, the wisteria is doing its best.
