Confessions of a Clumsy Scot

I’m beginning to enjoy literally the littlest things in life so much.

Planning my garden and wintering schedule!
I started this week by a little visit to my local garden centre telling myself it was just to plan and I wasn’t going to buy anything unless they had a raspberry Bush…
I came home with a blueberry plant, another strawberry plant and a couple of patio flowers that I’m hopeful will all withstand the winter.

I won’t lie, I did a little dance tonight when I dug a hole in the garden and popped my blueberry tree in it!

I’m going to hopefully have a row of various fruit trees, I’m aiming for a raspberry Bush, gooseberry tree and maybe either a kiwi or grape vine but I’ll see what I get and what will withstand the weather here.

I’m going to see if I can get a few pallets this week too and see if I can make the ideas in my head for some planters and actually make a decent little area for produce for next year.
I’m pretty confident for making just raised planters but I would really like to make a tiered planter for my strawberries but my carpentry skills are not the best although I try.

I’ve also got lemon seeds drying out that I’ll plant in a few weeks. I feel like I’m missing something with these though. Am I doing something wrong? Why don’t more people plant lemon seeds? Guess we’ll find out.

Also have a packet of birds eye chilli’s which I bought to make dinner with but only needed one so why not plant a few seeds and see what grows.
Not sure what my plans are with these though, I don’t do spicy foods at all so if they grow, these might be gifts!

What will I let my brain do in the garden this week?
