mmm…sunny weather, in march, what to do?
Garden, that’s what.
This may become an unofficial garden blog, but let’s face it, there’s bugger all happening on the painting front, so might as well do something else instead. Apart from the fact that I have developed a serious interest in vegetable ( not flower) growing.
So I’ve sown 5 varieties of tomato, 2 types of chilli, parsnips, broad beans, peas, beetroot, carrots, 3 types of aubergines, my potatoes ( Maris Piper and Desiree) are chitting nicely and today I will shortly be sowing some shallots.
I know I’m more or less behind in sowing compared to others in this area, but hopefully,they’ll all have time to catch up come the summer.
Expect pictures. Plus, i am very chuffed my garlic didn’t rot and is now 8″ high. Woot woot as they say.
It’s amazing how possesive i get of my plants, and how excited I am to see them grow.
Maybe a change of career from pharmaceutical to horticultural is needed.
