And so it starts

I think I have said, just lately, that I might get ‘into’ flowers. Well Mrs. Digs has beat me to it. After reading some blogs on GoY and looking at the flowers/plants sections she has decided to buy some pots and set to.
Here are the results so far,
These are all bedding plants, French Marigold-Hero Flame and Orange
and a Salvia-Red.
The pots came from Asda. Two for a fiver for the metal ones and two for £6 for the plastic jobbies.
I know most GoYers could do this in a drugged sleep but for us its a big step forwards.
Oh by the way, I’ve mentioned the fact that we are looking for a bigger bungalow (council one) well we went to look at the one Mrs. D. applied for today and the garden is huge, well in comparison to the one we have at the minute it is, so fingers crossed, we might have room to indulge our new found passion for growing all things ………..growable?
H & K’s to all…………Ian & Carol

Oh fantastic Ian and Carol......Good luck with the council. I will have everything crossed for you. But, will that mean you will have to leave your already planted garden before harvest time??
Your pots look lovely and I bet that once you start growing flowers you will be popping them in everywhere. :o)

Hi Gilli, thanks for the wishes. Because of the good weather this year most of my crops are nearly ready for harvest, so leaving them is the last thing on my mind. My spuds can come up any time, carrots ditto, peas will be about a fortnight, lettuce, onions, beets etc. can all come up aswell. On a sad note, I had to take all my beans today, they just were'nt producing. :~(
Never mind if we get this new place then it will be worth sacrifising a few tomatoes for (gulp) but I'll have room for my poly tunnel so I might get some if I'm lucky.
Mrs. D. says thanks Mookins and she can't wait to get into this new garden (If, and its a big IF, we get it)
H & K's.....Ian & Carol

Hi Ian. The Dark Side is where you dream gardening, wake up gardening, take your first cup of tea of the day while gardening, work all day in the garden - apart from going to the garden centre to get more plants so that you can garden a bit more - then spend all evening reading gardening magazines and catalogues. Now that you'll have a bigger garden - the Dark Side is waiting!!!!!
