Let me introduce my wee garden

Posted 20-06-2008 at 09:53 AM by wornoutmumoftwo
I originaly started my garden back in March...

I began by sowing carrot seeds from one of those propagator sets from the pound shop...and some how I have become obsessed with gardening.

I used to HATE going outside, left the gardening to my hubby (a gardener by trade), and our poor garden was lucky if we managed to plant a few flowers in it each year.

Now?

I am claiming every inch of garden to grow veg; I've pulled up paving stones, dug over grass areas, I've even creating areas along the driveway and behing the shed - there is just NO stopping me at the minute.

(I've even asked the neighbour downstairs if I could comandeer some of his garden - fortunately he said I could).

At the present time I have a little of everything growing, I have grown everything from seed in two of those small plastic greenhouses and having planted everything out, I have just sowed more seeds.



The real reason I began growing my own veg was the price of food, but I've found myself really enjoying the challange.

hi wornoutmumoftwo,
your garden sounds great. Mine is pretty untidy, no system, but (some) things grow OK. I've a few raised beds and lots of pots, all growing veg with various success.
I'm not the best at keeping things tidy and I think the weeds know it's a kind of sanctuary for them, but I do the best I can and there's nothing to beat eating veg just picked from outside your back door.
