Chicken bald back

[Luvachicken]

Over the winter I added some chicken poo to the big barrel I plant my sweet peas in.

My seeds in the seed compost didn't come up so I had to resort to ready grown ones from the garden centre.

I planted them in the barrel although it was still cold at the time.

They have done soooooooo well.

On Sunday I picked 2 bunches, one in the morning and another later in the afternoon.

Then yesterday I picked the biggest bunch ever.

Every now and then I chuck some more chicken poo on the top of their soil and water it in.

They seem to love it.

Much better than the 2 measly bunches I got last year.

 

I love sweet peas best of all, oh yeah and mesabryanthemums.

Good news, my sweet peas are a failure this year, I planted loads direct and only have about three plants which are no where near flowering stage, but look healthy enough. I think that it was way too cold when I direct sowed them and also I had soaked the seeds first and left them for a couple of days instead of one and the water went mouldy

 

I love them too and mesembryanthemum which I grew from seed one year and had loads. I have loads of asters, dahlias, cornflowers and honesty this year from seed, I find it hard to throw a healthy seedling away.
