So, I'm afraid you have to be happy with pictures of my booty! - Now I had a minor dilemma because I am doing really well on my Lent promise of not wasting money on things I don't need (and was consequently able to donate to comic relief last night, whilst crying onto my dinner!) But I do really want to sort out my vegetable plot, and a veggie plot without vegetables is pretty useless...... so when I spotted that Woolworths are doing buy one get one free on seeds, and half price on other garden bits, I couldn't resist.
So here we have 2 asparagus crowns, and seeds for runner beans, swede, leeks, butternut squash, courgette and carrot, and 8 Dahlia bulbs which I will plant in a patio pot.
Whilst out in the greenhouse I also snapped my seed progress:-
A woman after my own heart! If the girls are with me and see me heading to plants, seeds or garden stuff they steer me away. Can't think why!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had avegetable plot, I just don't have the time to maintain it though!!!! I have enough trouble with my two cordelines and the bedding plants I usually put around them in the summer. I have got a rosemary which is lovely and big, obviously very hardy, as its the only herb I've managed to sustain!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I wondered what we were getting when you said pics of your 'booty' :0
ReplyDeleteYou sound like a rather accomplished gardener. I'm keen but basically rubbish, lol! I was rather chuffed today though to see that my raspbery cane has survived the winter and come into bud again.
Looking forward to seeing and hearing more about your planting.
Lovely! Nothing like the veg and fruit you grow yourself. A lovely selection too. Good Luck :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had decent soil to grow things in, but my mixture of builder's rubble and clay is a nightmare to work with.
ReplyDeleteHope your 'babies' have survived the change of weather:( There's a stunning magnolia not far from my house and I was so upset to see today what the wind has done to all the blossom ...
ReplyDeleteWe had snow last night :( Good to see things starting off!
ReplyDeleteYou put me to shame! Our veggie seeds are still in their little packets and they should be sprouting like yours!
ReplyDeleteWe tried courgettes for the first time last year and I was really pleased, so good luck with yours :)
What a wonderful haul - we don't have a vegetable plot, I so wish we did. I can imagine nothing more satisfying than eating something I had grown myself!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I may end up posting twice but blogger seems to have eaten my comment! Well done on getting so organised, I still have to sort out what I'm going to grow. Maybe protect your seedlings with some fleece in case of snow?
ReplyDeletegreat haul there, I have never grown asparagus, something on my to get list, maybe next year as I now have proper beds in the plot, there is nothing better than watching new growth
