Tulips colouring our garden

I think my favourite flowers are now tulips. They're just so nice and bright after winter and really stand out in the garden. I want to plant more bulbs every year, a different colour every year too. We first had the yellow and red blended tulips, so they're both red and yellow in one flower. They're finished now and next we've got red and yellow separately. Lots of red ones and a few yellows together which you can see in the background of the photo.



Last weekend Andre discovered this:



We're hoping to now have lots of flower magic in the garden this summer! You just sprinkle it wherever you want flowers to grow, and then water.


The greenhouse is filling up fast. The courgettes and pumpkins have only just moved in, but will be moving out again before we go on holiday in two weeks. The tomatoes, peppers and chillies will also then go into larger pots, but stay in the greenhouse.

Just look at the speed at which pumpkin seeds grow. I never knew they grew this fast! This is exactly 11 days since I placed the seeds in the soil.
