My veg patch with fleecy to keep warm and cuddly!

The greatest runners on the earth lol !

In January, I decided to rip out the rockery and create a veg patch, my Cousin from NZ, Darren came whilst on his hols here and helped, as well as my mum and we dug and dug the garden and trimmed trees etc. I started feeling optimistic and was bitten by the bug.....

By January, my dalek composter was up and running and I was getting excited, by all the veg and straw going into it, as well as newspaper etc. I am remembering to aerate every week and keep brown & greens going in.

In Feb/March I started sowing some seeds, my mum had bought me some seeds and a mini-greenhouse for Christmas, after a trip Homebase, I come home with compost, seedling compost and some tools for the job, including pots.

In Feb, i dug over the plot and tilthed again, then added some pooh from "Meg", our pony and some compost and covered it over with some polythene, waiting for it to warm before planting, I then left it alone warm up!

My "better half" then decided that as I was being a good girl, I should have a greenhouse and as we already had a patio area right next to the patch, then this is where it would go, bought from Tesco Direct, Stu then puts the greenhouse up over easter, in the snow!! Then he made me some staging, what a star he is and I started potting up more seeds. I also bought a heater in the clearance area of Homebase, they are starting to know me there now!

As you can see from my pictures my Runner beans that were potted up about 4 weeks ago, are going great and will be put into the garden this weekend, hopefully. Also my sweetcorn which was only potted 2 weeks ago have all germinated and my toms which were one of the first things to pot up are growing great in their grow bags. My strawberries have flowers on them and in the ground are onion sets, garlic, radishes and beetroot. These were all planted 3 weeks ago and the radishes are coming along great.

In the mini greenhouse, coming along nicely are:-

Parsnips

Beetroot

3 x squash

Spinach

Brussels

Cut & grow again lettace

Cauli's

Sweetcorn

Runners

Salad onions white & red

Some of these are going into pots, to be grown...........

Also in a raised bed, but the kitchen is:-

Little Gem lettace

Coriander

Parsley

More to follow soon with dates of sowing, planting out & harvesting!! (cant wait for that bit)
