Thats it - I have no more space in the house

Got a bit excited with the nice weather in March & now paying the price - not a free windowsill in the house & the kitchen is turning into a jungle:
-
Cannas, NZ Purple Castor Oil plants, one gourd that I really shouldn't have planted that early & Basil in the kitchen:

-
Peppers, waiting for the sun so they can go out into the blowaway (if its still there):

-
Sprouting salad veg rudely pushed into the corner so the new stuff gets enough light:

-
More stuff coming along in the propagator (Pumpkins are up, and that Banana leaf grew in the last three days when I was away, 'cos it wasn't there Wednesday..)

-
15 seedlings of Datura La Fleur Lilac, which Im going to need to pot up in the next couple of weeks if they cant go outside:

-
8 more in the bathroom, one of which is starting a flower bud.. + a few small Toms:

-
& finally more Toms + palm trees waiting for attention:

-
So all I can say is bring on the sun - otherwise Im going to have to move to a bigger house..

 

What a splendid collection Nick. A true Gardeners delight for sore eyes. Thank you for allowing us to gawp on this dismal morning. Feeling better now

I have chillis and courgettes among other things outside in the blowaway. They seem to be coping, although they are not growing very fast yet.

 

You're too cautious Nick!!

Ten miles down the road my Datura wrightii is out by day, unheated g/house by night. Cymbidiums and Plumbago are out full stop in a sheltered spot. Likewise the Leonotis seedlings, and some of the Nicotiana are planted out (back ups under cover just in case though).
The Tibouchina has "a face on" though, as that too is in an unheated greenhouse.

Are you over Witney way soon? I may have a couple more tenders to tempt you...........

 

Hi Nick
Single are we?
I can see my OH allowing a takeover like that - not!

 

cheeky

 

Heh - how did you know ? I thought I had cropped out the worst of the mess too !

 

Im hoping to get some things out over the next weekend if the weather calms down, but the few test plants I have out in the blowaway have been sulking for the last couple of weeks & Im considering bringing them back in to warm them up a bit !

Im getting a conservatory built in a month or so, which should give me more tender plant space & hope to replace the blowaway with a proper greenhouse for next year if theres any cash left in the kitty unless one pops up on freecycle before then.

Nooo ! Dont tempt me ! I have no strength to resist ... :-)

 

Looking great Nick......quite the assortment you've got there.

Is that a cemetary i see in the background of the one picture?
