Come on a garden tour with me

I have spent a fair bit of each day out in the garden over the half term break. I am so pleased with how it is coming along. The view down the growing patch, it's looking very green;

Carrots, potatoes and green beans all growing near to each other.

The onion bed

cabbages and the smaller brussel plants

peas and radishes thriving together

spinach, lettuce, beetroot and the beginnings of kale



 The greenhouse replanted with the next lot of seeds.

forward planning

I realised tonight that I need to start planning my veg garden. I bought seeds in September/ October last year ready for spring planting.

So tonight I thought I had better start the planning;


I found that quite a few of the seeds should have been planted last month (aubergine, leek, tomatoes) and lots more need planting this month. Now most of them need planting on window ledges so I need to start thinking where these window ledges are going to appear from! I don't have too much empty window ledge space. So as well as thinking about how to plant the garden this year, I also need to organise the window ledges....
