It's been a bit dull in here for days so I assume that everyone is busy with
Autumn tasks.
What are you up to in the garden?
I've been tidying up very messy beds and watering deeply but even after
about 3 hours one section of one bed was as dry as a chip today. I've been
planting some silene vulgaris (Bladderwort - an old favourite) and buying
sweet pea seeds and broad bean seeds planning where I'm going to put them.

Today I was planting around 800 bulbs seeds. Tomorrow will plant more and
all my spring bulbs as well.

Pulling out all the Roma tomatoes that have finished (about half of
them), picking Grosse Lisse tommies that have just started.
And moving things in shed to find room for first ten pumpkins picked.
And weeding. And mowing. And weeding. And mowing. And weeding. And
mowing.

So what sort of bulb seeds and what sort of bulbs? I've been looking at
bulbs and don't think I can resist more daffs and jonquils in as bright as
yellow as possible. Might even try a few pink daffs.

The bulb and corm seed I have planted are Babiana, Onixotis & Galtonia, I
have some others to do as well. Bulbs and corms I have planted include
Babiana pulchra, Babiana villosa, Babiana stricta (white form), Sparaxis
grandiflora, Sparaxis elegans, Tritonia deusta, Ornithagalum arabica,
Ornithagalum thyroides and some Moraea's tomorrow. So far 2 days planting
and hopefully over tomorrow.
