Time to start hardening off all the half hardy annuals in preparation for planting out. We normally wait until the first week in June, well in actual fact its almost always the first day in June. Often we use Impatiens as one of the main plants in the scheme, but if June gets off to a cold start they always get set back, they do recover again in a few weeks time. This year the main part of the bedding will be Begonias, seem to be using them more often now, however there are so many varieties to choose from you can get away with doing this. The Privet Hedge in the back garden got it’s first cut of the season today,tops looking pretty level pleased to say, after someone got out a spirit level to check, (naw only joking). Just finished giving the plants a good watering in the greenhouse with the hose, the blooming attachment came adrift got a right soaking. Off to have a bath.
