My Veg

This is the first time i have ever grown anything and so far i'm proud of my achievements, i dont have a huge garden so quite a few things are being grown in pots and containers, with the addition of a "small patch" which needs thinning out, thats tomorrows job, all seem to be doing well, i know the truth will be in the harvest and eating, someone did tell me veg growing was trial and error though!!

It`s all looking very good, Ruby, well done.:thumb: What are you thinning out tomorrow?

 

Carrots, there's big clumps in some places in the row, or is that not a good idea?

 

Why not leave them a bit longer, then you can thin them out and USE them as baby carrots?:D

 

Dohhh!! :o never thought of that, thanks again

 

It`s what we`re here for, Ruby.:thumb::D

 

Rouxbee.

Nice job. It looks like we first timers are doing really well! :D

Ant.

 

Anthony, Anthony, Anthony. Don`t count your chickens.:D:D

 

I just wish i had a bigger garden, i've certainly got the bug! Good luck with whatever you are growing Ant

 

Ruby, get an allotment. The allotment movement needs people like you.

 

You've got some really healthy young plants there Ruby!

As far as regards 'Trial and Error' - weather provides the trial and the gardener the error.

 

Your plants are looking great, Rouxbee, keep up the good work. Just a suggestion, do an internet search (Google?) for "Square Foot Gardening", you may find that an interesting concept for gardening in a small area.

 

Unfortunately there's nothing like that around here, if it's like anywhere else every piece of green is having houses built on it, my inlaws have a huge garden and live not too far away, we're in charge of maintenance at the moment but it's all mainly grass, so i have been thinking i might just ask nicely if i can "borrow" a large patch, no harm in trying

 

Thanks Terrrier, it might be something worth considering, when we bought this house the garden was a complete mess, there was just nothing in it except horrible grey gravel and a brick shed, you don't even want to know what the ground was like underneath, builders yard springs to mind! it's taken a while but it's shaping up.

 

What a difference a month makes, my runner beans, broad beans, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers (budded) & cucumbers are all flowering, i'm really pleased, is anything i should/shouldn't, could be doing?
Thanks
