What a genius idea for the gardening... on #BeechgroveGarden... an easy way to split perennials... is to use a bulb planter... and remove a small clump... πŸŒ±πŸ’‘

Also, are #loquats hardy in #Scotland? I pulled a couple of seeds from one and they've germinated. And can you grow them in a pot? Are there more plants I need to find a home for now?

Did anyone watch the latest episode of #beechgrove and was disgusted like me by Calum lining his raspberry trench with treated, poisonous timber buried in the soil?

@Walrus I'm just attracted to novelty. I just have to keep trying something new and shiny. I'm bad like that.
This year, I'm also trying Queensland Blue pumpkins too.

The two tomato varieties I have chose are an heirloom called #Tomato #BigRainbow and a "new" variety called #PurplePeruvian which is supposedly some sort of new to cultivation, in the UK at least, "wild" tomato species.

So far I am impressed with neither, although the Peruvian ones are farther along than the Big Rainbows.

Another round of potting on and planting new seeds.

I now have even more plants I will have to find somewhere to safely pass on to.

I am running out of window space.

Also, my tomato seedlings seem to be taking frustratingly long to flump up. Everything else is romping away, by they are still sulking.

I never bother making sure daffs, or any other bulbs, are right way up. I just dig a hole, tip 'em in, and give 'em a mix about to roughly space them out. The bulbs will sort themselves out regarding which way is up. #Beechgrove #BeechgroveGarden #Gardening #ShoutyHalfHour
