Yay! Spring is just around the corner and things are getting exciting! Its been a slow wet winter, with so many jobs to do and not enough time or nice weather to do them. BUT the greenhouse is now up and running, the beds marked out and being sorted. Things are GROWING in my fabulous Garden! And we did it ourselves! We broke the ground and ..... ta da!!!
<---- our veggie patch!
<---- our veggie patch! Top left: poly tunnel, garlic and spring onions
Top right: spuds, first earlies (3 rows now)
Bottom left: Fruit trees - gooseberry, redcurrent, blackcurrent, boysenberry
Bottom right: sifted soil, now moved over to the right hand side of the bed to create a raised bed for carrots and radish.
Greenhouse! Containing lots of seedlings from tomatoes, sweetcorn, to various beans and herbs. I am really excited about it all. I blimmin LOVE living here. The kids are healthy and happy, and so are we! I am so proud of what we have achieved so far and this is only the start. So here are some piccies. Since I took these, we have moved the soil in the bottom right bed to create a raised bed. The soil was stuff Shaun sifted and moved from behind the shed, so its beautiful and I have sown carrot seed and long icicle radish seed there. We can't grow carrots in our other beds as the soil is SO hard you can't crumble it in your hands - the long rooted stuff would never make it. The little mini poly tunnel is fab and 3 days ago I planted peas, petit pois, turnips, salsify and savoy cabbage. I had a look today and there is growth! Now - whose going to place bets? I can't decide yet whether they are opportunistic weeds or actually little seedlings!!! Its a bit "row-like" to be weeds, but hey, how clever ARE weeds?!? Daisy is riding her bike! She does have stabilizers, but they point out the back! She won't let us take them off, even though they are of absolutely no use to her. lol!!! Anyway, here are the photos - enjoy!! 
<---- Garlic growing in one of the main beds - look how hard the "soil" is!!

<---- Peas! Sown in the greenhouse in the discarded edge protection that came with MIL's kitchen worktops! The idea is to just SLIDE the seedlings off into the main beds. We'll see whether SLIDE actually works or not!!
