Woooooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooooo
I took on my lottie 2 Septembers ago and haven't had a good go at it before this year. The first year I had it, we had a huge medical upheaval in our first son 1 month after taking it one and I'd only dug 1/3 of the plot over. I then fell pregnant the following month
so up to last summer nothing happened to the plot really
Anyhow, my Dad (8LGM) took over the digging for me (and now officially co-owns the plot) and I have a second (smaller) plot which we'll hopefully be rotivating soon.
Mr Shortie, the kids and I went down yesterday to put up the runner bean supports and water and besides the sturdy onion family that have been going strong since winter, I found we had the following direct sown stuff germinating and looking really healthy since last time I went:
Potatoes - lurvely long rows sprouting up
Broadies - 100% germination there
Peas - 90-95% germination - dead chuffed seeing as I had not a single pea germinate last year
I feel so motivated again, isn't it a fab feeling?????
