Bev's Veggy Diary 2012

Post by Benny&Co »

Well folks, spurred on from last year when I managed to grow things I'd never attempted before, I'll be having another go again in 2012 :-D

Thank you to all of you lovely folks who've helped me along the way :-D

At the moment I've not done much at all, got quite a bit of clearing away from last year to do but due to back injury think I'll have to enlist the help of Hubbly with that.

Some of you might remember that the caterpillars helped themselves to my broccoli/sprouts/cabbages.... anyway I managed to rescue some cabbage and we had one yesterday too )t' )eat(

Looking forward to charting my progress this year again and also seeing all your wonderful set ups as well :-D

Thanks guys {hug}

Not much further along I'm afraid, back injury and a rotten dose of the lurgy holding me up.

Feels like there's so much to do....

Some of my seeds have started sprouting, yay )c(

Was trying to find last years diaries, to see when did I start planting stuff. Think I'm a bit earlier this year :-D

The things on my windows seem to be doing well, yay )t'

Planted some spinach seeds, beans and sweet peas the other day as well. Planning to have them growing up the back fence.

I've noticed - in the bags where I had my sprouting broccoli last year, they seem to be growing back!

Also, there appears to be onions growing up in my bags/tubs too!
