This first photograph is of flowering sage, I did have this in a large pot for about four years but it was getting bigger and bigger and so I decided to transplant and let it spread it's roots a bit.
I have just dug over a space in front of the greenhouse, last year it was full of cornflowers this year I have decided to have it as a mint bed, there are four garden mint plants and one lambs mint. To the left of the mint bed is a row of golden marjoram.
I have one large border at the top of the allotment this is filled with a bay tree, cox apple tree, clematis, soapwort, phlox, bears grass, rose bushes, marjoram, black peppermint, geraniums, lemon balm and a large lovage plant.
I recently saw an offer on the Guardian website for twenty-four lavender plants and all I had to pay was £4.80 for postage. I received them two weeks later, they were lovely healthy plug plants and I have transplanted them to larger pots and they are all doing well, when they are large enough I am hoping to use them as a lavender hedge.
Today I also transplanted the Tamra slicing cucumber plants, instead of putting them in growbags, I decided to plant them in large tubs. I know a few people that have grown them this way and all of them have said they had produced a large crop. The black tubs I bought from Morrisons supermarket, ten for £1, they are florist tubs.
To finish off my photography for the day I have taken a few overall views of the allotment.
