Added straw to my raised bed and pots for deferring weeds and lowing the temperature of the soil from direct sunlight.

Lunch at Garden Centre

Image
Today, I went to the Garden Centre again.  Enjoyed my lunch there and grabbed a few tools and seeds. Besides, took a photo of my sweet peas. They are now growing healthily. 🥰

Sow Cosmos today!

Free seed from magazine "Garden Answers". Hope it isn't too late to sow, and gives me more colors in the garden this summer. 🥰

My Sweet Peas were destroyed 😭

Image
This morning, when I went out to water my sweet peas in front garden, I found that they were destroyed. 😭😭😭 I don't know what animals did it. 😖 I felt very upset. After work, I added a mesh to protect my plants.  Hope it can keep the animals out of my plants.

Wigwam - Sweet Peas Support

This morning, I created this Wigwam with 4 bamboo canes.

My first raised bed

Image
This morning I filled my work-in-progress raised bed with cardboards.

My first raised bed

Image
I bought a raised from from Amazon.  It's made of  polythene.  I chose this, not a wooden one, because I'm not sure about the exact layout design of my front yarn and back yard gardens.  I'm still planning it.  This  polythene raised bed provide mobility such that it's easier to move, I think 😄😄 😄 . I filled my new raised bed with garden soil from front yard.  I'm not quite sure for the next step.  Therefore, I think I need to do more research for this. 

New garden craft tray

Image
Wow~~~ I really loved this tray! I can plant the seeds inside this tray, without messing up my worktop. It holds all the falling compost and soil, making cleaning the worktop a lot easier. 🥰 Today, I'd seeded Luttice, Radish, Cucumber and Onion.

New outdoor greenhouse

Image
Delivered for a few days ago, at last free today to assemble this greenhouse. It was quite easy to assemble this greenhouse. I bought this greenhouse because I think the seeds didn't germintate well in the house.  Moreover, feel like it would be cleaner and tidier to put the progators outsider. After the assembly, we went to Bolton for lunch.  It's a lovely sunny day. I took some photos for the nice weather.

Start soil preparation at my front yard

Image
After a few months' study, although I still cannot figure out the full design of my front yard, I can confirm that I would defintely plant some shrubs or hedges at the front border.  Therefore, I worked a few days to remove soil with grass at the front yard, and covered the rest area with weed contr fabric. I'd also served fried pork chop (using Air Fryer) with instand noodles as my lunch.
