The 2015 One to Five a Week Challenge!

[veggiechicken]

I've completely failed to keep this updated
I've been eating plenty of home grown veggies each week , not sure I've sown or planted something each week though. Best I bow out and leave it to the pro's, much admiration

I failed too, poly, and it was my idea! How embarrassing is that
I'm starting again now.
You could adjust your targets to make it simpler.

To be fair November/December is probably the most difficult time of the year, especially for sowing and planting. Theres also Christmas preparations and holiday time to work around. All of that is one of the reasons I started doing this straight away (impatience being the other!).

Tomato Shirley
