Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryWell it's been a nice day today which was a pleasant surprise as the forcast wasn't good.
Sweetcorn seeds sown in the greenhouse. Last of the potatoes planted, with help from the chookies. Few more lettuce and spring onions sown. [center][/center]Davina

Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryA picture of my garden, please ignore the huge ugly school behind. That wasn't there when we purchased the house 20 years ago, it was built last year

Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryThats a lot of garden and a lot of grass to cut , have you got a sit on mower or a big stick with a prod to keep OH on the move ?

Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryAnnie I have tried both your suggestions over the past 20 or so years but came up with the idea of paying a gardener to do it . So he cuts the grass and hedges and we grow veggies, best decision I made. Hubby has his own business and works lonnnnnng hours, but he is now running his business from home so maybe he may have time to do it himself, that way he would have spare money to give to me I could buy more seeds, plants and perhaps chookies

Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryA few more garden pics
First early potatoes Cabbages Seedlings Courgettes and sunflowers If you look really close you can just see the musk melon popping through Runner beans waiting to go outdoors Runner beans in Polly tunnel, not sure what they will do but thought we could give it a try [center][/center]Davina
Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryLove the photos, I find everybodies photos and entries a real incentive. Think my runner beans have got away from me, very tall.
Re: Davina's 2013 grow our own diaryWow it got exceptionally hot in the Polly tunnel today, 39.4 at one point.
Not done a great deal today, getting ready or my hols, hubby is staying at home so he will deal with the garden whilst I sun myself [center][/center]Davina
