The Sanctuary Garden

While I was away for the weekend, the little buggers have enjoyed a diet of broad bean seeds with seedling lettuce on the side. Crunchy peanut butter will be their last supper…. One of the courgette stems has split, and I’m blaming them too.

I’ve replanted a tomato and in the process planted it a little deeper and removed some side shoots, that are now under a dome and dusted with rooting hormone. I hope they root.

The plants outside are doing okay under fleece, we have a little wind and rain, the latter is welcome although throws a spanner in the works with regards to finishing the poly-tunnel

The poly-tunnel has taken a few weeks to get to it’s current stage. The structure is not ready; the two ends need to be trimmed, the doors added, strengthened and ready to accept the poly-tunnel cover.

Conventional steel poly-tunnels have a tape that insulates the frame from the plastic cover helping longevity. We are using carpet, it’s new and donated by Bryan Goodfellow, our first member and my friend.

Below are a few images of progress
