Mr Grinch's Garden

Mine only wanted to grow Gourds until they were about 9 ... had to be piled high in a pyramid all winter, and then removed one-by-one as they rotted ... would have much preferred they had had a go at growing something edible.

Eldest says she's been scarred-for-life, and put off gardening forever, by all the pots littering the kitchen windowsill over the years, and the amount of potting-on and so on that has gone on in the kitchen when the weather was miserable outside ...

 

I reckon about a foot/foot and half Mr G...

 

Radishes are so rewarding to grow as their progress is easy to see.

 

I agree with raddishes, and also salad leaves (the cut-n-come-again type) as they are more "tolerant" of uneven sowing.
Do you have herbs in another area of the garden? As a child, I loved herbs - the smell of the leaves, and the fact that I was allowed, nay, encouraged to pick a leaf and crush it for the smell. Maybe growing chives, chinese/garlic chives, sage, having a go a rosemary cuttings next spring?

 

Sounds easy then. Even i can put up a raised bed a foot deep
I'll probably do Lettuce, Carrots, Radishes and onions, not many but just enough to get her going. Maybe try garlic later. I might also get her to sow some Marigolds to plant around the patch.
I have Strawberry's and a Rosemerry in pots on thye raised bit Sian.

A few more ideas for prezzies to add to the crimbo list

 

Need to finish it off first loli.

The mini wall needs to be taken town and re done, maybe need to get a few more to make up the numbers. Spring job for a May planting hopefully

 

Father Christmas going to put a Raised Bed Kit in their stockings?

Don't forget all the mini tools Mr G ...Sorry getting carried away...but it takes me back

 

Hows the garden mr g? Love the plan for a raised bed for the kids

 

Nothing much happening chimney. I hibernate in winter like a bear.
