The plants have had a treat to drink this week in the way of actual rainwater as it has been less dry recently, we hope they are not getting too cold though! The lettuce is almost ready for picking now and the next batch is well on the way. Onions are sprouting and lots of big green leaves are being grown. Germination is still going well too although we are quickly running out of space inside as the tomato seedlings have been transplanted into individual pots and we have a second lot of various seeds on the go. The latest addition has included perpetual spinach, brussel sprouts and cucumber. Our potatoes sets arrived too so we have put them on top of the fridge in egg boxes to sprout until they are ready to go into their sacks.
Should have some more photos up soon as everything has grown much bigger since last time and the garden is getting quite full!
About Me

- Welcome to our gardening adventure! We are going to attempt to turn our boring city garden into a haven of vegetable production. Our aim is to grow enough veg to be self-sufficient for at least two months out of the remaining year (2010), plus, have lots of fun along the way. P.S. The only things we have grown previously are sunflowers and cress - this is going to be interesting!
Weather forecaster says tonight's temperature down to minus 4 degrees! Time to wrap up your plants with fleece, methinks.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have anything to cover with at the moment but the forecast reckons 1 degree here so with being near the city we will hopefully be o-k. We are getting a mini-greenhouse though and some fleece or tunnels or something for later in the year.
ReplyDeleteI keep waiting for it to rain here - the clouds come over then pass on by!
