I could not resist buying this Alstroemeria lily. Our last one, despite surviving several prior winters, died in the coldframe over the winter. Hopefully the new greenhouse will be finished by the autumn so more of our smaller potted plants will survive the winter.

In 1938, Evelyn Dunbar was commissioned by Country Life magazine to produce drawings (and later oils) for its Gardener’s Diary and made witty personifications of each month. The month of April sees a figure wearing a striped smock, holding a coldframe with a cuckoo in her hat.

Want to give your tender seedlings the best start? 🌱
Use a coldframe for hardening off delicate plants like aubergines. 🍆 Pop them in a few weeks before planting out to let them acclimatize. It's the ultimate 'taster' session for your veg before they face the great outdoors! 🏡✨#GYO #gardeningtips

COLDFRAME - take 2
(First try: voles ate all my plants. Twice. So I gave up)
This time:
- cardboard on the grass
- wire mesh secured to bottom of frame
Yesterday: temp went from low of 46f to high of 73.
Left window opens automatically with warmth.

Watered my potatoes and moved my squash, pumpkins, courgettes and climbing beans into the coldframe to harden off. Had a little friend helping me in the coldframe.

🌱Some more of last year’s Nemesia, along with a container of succulents, both of which we stashed in the coldframe greenhouse for the winter which gave both survived and are now starting to thrive. The new greenhouse we are building out of glass should hopefully work even better for this.

Can't resist sharing this photo of my Acer Sangu Kaku which I planted as a tiny tree about 20 years ago. It's glorious year round, with red branches in the winter, bright green leaves in the spring, which turn to yellow in the autumn. Fantastic small tree. 🌱

Eagerly waiting for the first seeds of the season to germinate: various salads & onions, spinach and carrots are already outside in the coldframe, while the brassicas like broccoli 🥦 and cauliflower first get some extra warmth inside to get started 🌱

My garden is tiny and I can't do minimalist, I have to cram as much into it as I possibly can.
A Magic Roundabout sunflower.
Maria's sweetcorn. Both are out front.
Redcurrants in backgarden and a coldframe full of tomatoes.
