RE: Spring Garden Journal - My Favourite Flowers Turned Up
Your wife did great taking care of the 🪴. Great your tomatoes 🍅 and pepper 🌶 are doing great. I actually tried planting in a pot and was unsuccessful, I think it's the soil, maybe it's not fertile enough, I gave up after a failed attempt 😅

Thank you ! We're so lucky that we've got good soil here. It's quite heavy and clay-based (in Victorian times, our road had several potteries using local clay), but we constantly work to improve it.
It's not too hard or expensive - although we add some fertilisers, mostly it's done with compost we make ourselves from cuttings, twigs, vegetable peel, eggshells etc. The key is to just keep doing it regularly, a little bit at a time, year in year out. Enough water is a big help, too !
That sounds like a lot of work 😅 but thanks for the information. Maybe when we eventually own our own space, I will try planting again.
