Weekend

Visited Blooms & World of Water

Pond:

Ranunculus Lingua Grandiflora - Great Spearwort
Juncus Effusus Spiralis - Corkscrew Rush
Iris Kaempferi/Ensata - Japanese Clematis Flowered Iris
- planted in a curved basket on the shelf with the other curved baskets

Scirpus Isolepsis - Bristle Club Rush
- at the shallow end

plus something free-floating with bladders

Primula Denticulata - Drumstick Primula
- above the waterfall, between the Fennel and Lily

Added some Green Away algae treatment - can be repeated after 5 days if necessary.

Ran filter cleaning cycle - made pump run MUCH better - do this every week as far as is possible.


Garden:

General maintenance.

Blackcurrant Ben Tirran
- planted in a large pot in the middle of the raised beds

Sowed mixed salad leaves and Raab in left-hand bed

Cut rhubarb - 670g
Emptied another potato tub - 1.5kg in this one
Picked first runner beans - 220g

The growing tip has broken off the pumpkin :-(
That's probably the end of it, but leave it awhile and see what happens.
