The Novice Gardener

May was the month that I started to harden off the plants as they were all started indoors. Every morning I would take everything out put it into the greenhouse leaving the door open, then in the evening I would bring everything back in. This went on for weeks and also makes sure the plants will cope when left outside. The weather was also great plenty of dry, warm and sunny days

My first flower on the courgette plant. If your interested they fire out male flowers first which are as you can see a bright yellow then they are followed by female ones.

Earthing up the potatoes - which just means covering them up with more compost so they are kept in the dark and will produce more potatoes
