    I must be mad!

    Nothing seems to be growing in the garden properly, the weather has been utterly pants and my first attempt growing my own (anything really!!) is starting very slowly indeed. Almost makes you want to give up.......


    or if you are a few sandwiches short of a picnic phone the council and get your name on the waiting list for a lottie!!LOL
    onwards and upwards I say!!

    My tomatoes were moving along at a rate of knots, then we had the rain and now everything is on a go slow, I wouldn't worry about it, being late isn't such a bad thing this year, it'll come.

    Sometimes being too keen and starting early only means you lose things to the late frosts.
    I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.

      throw some radish and beetroot in some piece of ground - you are guaranteed a return.

        Not so fast, beetroot doesn't like my ground, too heavy.....I love the stuff, but fail miserably to grow it. Brassicas though well that's a different story.

            I bumped into one of the gardening club in the local supermarket. She was with her mum - and introduced me as her 'gardening teacher' - the enthusiasm of 8 and 9 year olds is infectious!

              I'm not sure about mad, I do quite enjoy a slice of fruit cake.

                  Well, fortunately this is a primary school so I don't need to worry about the teenagers Some of high school students will call in for younger siblings - I bet they will take a peek at the plot in years to come if it is still going!

                    Yeah. My girls took a peek at my lottie one summer and promptly lay on a rug to sunbathe, or flitted around taking photos of wildlife and flowers. Still better than not going there at all and now they are in their 20's they do ask how it's doing.
