Planting out the veg garden, Roses flowering, fruit bushes...

 Its another gap in posts, not another 10 year one but longer than I wanted!

     This week I have been planting out the tomato plants in the Hugelkultur raised bed, With working on the house I didn`t plant tomato seeds I bought small plants from the market, some plants for yellow tomatoes and some plants for red tomatoes, no idea on variety some type of cherry tomato I think,  every variety of red one had signs with the names on , but these I asked for a week or so ago and the woman brought them in for me as she has no yellow usually.

I soaked the plants for a few minutes in water to check the roots had enough water.

     

Then planted out in the HugelKulture raised bed, next to one of my sage plants

This week all the roses are starting to flower, at last the Bulgarian oil rose is flowering , it has taken about 3 years from taking the cuttings to flower. but has many flowers ready to open.

I set up a jar to extract the oil to make rosewater

Many other roses are starting to flower

Lots of roses here but only just starting to flower, at last count over 50 varieties! I have planted in the garden but then again I am just near Kazanlak in a main rose growing area so I should have lots of them being the rose valley, there are 2 massive rose oil distilleries in different directions just 5 minutes from the house and many fields of oil roses around.

Most things are growing quite well, I have white currents getting quite large, all the other currents are growing fine as well, gooseberries growing , pomegranate trees with flower buds about to flower all over.

And.....Being one of those months for finding passwords, i have been trawling through old hard drives and found at last my old password for another youtube account, found some old videos of some industrial machines such as printing presses, videos about using glues and some more dogs this time crazy collie dogs!
