Happy Faces

Since my last enthusiastic post about my lovely little seedlings, my balcony garden has become somewhat of a battle field - aphids, sudden weather changes causing sunburn and heat stress, and slight overwatering when the temperature suddenly drops!

But, all is not lost, and the garden is hanging in there (me too!)

At the moment these happy smiling faces greet me every morning! I've decided, all gardens must have pansies and johnny jump up violas!

Big and Strong!

My seedlings planted just over 4 weeks ago are still growing well!

Above - beans right, radish left. Below - spinach left, beets right.

I discovered the aphids had moved in on my radish on Sunday, so I sat and carefully removed them all by hand (there weren't too many at that stage) - Going to have to keep a close eye out to avoid a major aphid offensive!

Partial to Pansies

I added some spreading pansies and jump up violas to my garden over the weekend to bring in a bit of colour and interest. I just love to see their little colourful faces in the morning!!
