I did it, I finally banked enough time to dig over my veg patch and start sowing. I think I went a bit mad, this is what I have started with in just one bed, with room for raddish and something else! Sunflower Topolino (to attract the bees, we love bees); Broccoli Raab (that I bought last year or was it the year before?); Beetroot Boltardy (I've never had success with Beetroot so third time lucky); Carrot Cosmic Purple (left over from last year); Kohl Rabi (another packet from last year and something new); Chard Bright Lights (a favourite in my veg patch) And in two large tubs the Bearded Dragon's salad leaves (oriental and salad bowl).
A nice little mixture to get me started, all covered to stop my inquisitive Springer Spaniel from looking! I haven't thought about toms and cues and courgettes but I do have all the seeds ready. One small step at a time. I feel so much better, something about digging around in the earth and being in the open air makes you feel so much better.
I have spare seeds, fancy a seed swap anyone? This is what I have to offer, all in date and mainly Thompson & Morgan :
Butternut Squash
Salad Leaves
Beetroot Alto F1 Hybrid
Herb Basil Purple Ruffles
Pumpkin Mars F1 Hybrid
I popped over to TK Max yesterday with Ian and Jack and found a new compost caddy, I love the colour, shame the camera couldn't capture it properly. If you want to seed swap please leave a message or email me thehurrells@hotmail.co.uk
Oh and some crochet in the sunshine, slowly but surely its going to be finished this month and have learnt some important tips along the way.
