Had a busy, busy day out in the garden today and am thoroughly cream-crackered!!!
We (me and G that is) dug 2 bags of compost into the garden, got out the last of the dead roots and small weeds and watered like crazy.
Then later we planted the red and white onions and put the seed potatoes in a tray to start 'chitting' (sprouting) and once they have some nice big sprouts on them we can put them too into the ground.
We put the cutivator together and with my 3 little helpers we put some seeds in some trays (lettuce, carrots, peppers and cucumbers) and we put them in it. We wanted to also plant some pumpkin seeds but needed bigger sized trays so went to B&Q and bought some this afternoon - will do them in the morning.
We also took a load of rubbish to the dump, so the garden is looking generally tidyer.
Also at B&Q we bought some more strawberry plants, some cabbage plants (and seeds), 2 troughs and another large bag of compost.
Will hopefully get out in the garden tomorrow to plant the rest of the seeds in the trays and put some plants in my troughs.
Photos to follow tomorrow!!!
Am getting so excited about the prospect of having our own salad and veggies!!!

ReplyDeletethere aint nothing as grand as a home grown strawb, you just wait, do lots and lots and lots, make sure you layer the grond with straw, cos if the strawberrys lay on the earth as they're ripening they rot.
