my first 3 months of growing my own

6 comments

Well its 3 months on from were I first started and yes I’m still loving growing my own.
There have been ups and downs but more ups than downs. Not all the seeds that I started through produced any planets but it’s a learning curve that I’m enjoying I have done things wrong but ha ho without doing this you will not learn anything.

The cabbage never got any hearts but I still eat them as spring leafs the only thing I have to work out is can I eat the cauliflower as spring leafs? Still can not see the white in its eye just lots of leafs.

The radish and salad is growing great having that everyday with my dinner I still can not believe the difference of this over the supermarket rubbish, my Father who thinks that anything green on his plate should be feed to a rabbits is now eating the salad that I’m growing including the little gems and butter heads. I now have to see if there is a salad that I can grow in a cold greenhouse over winter.

I have a few cucumber planets now up and growing but I only have a 50% survival rate of these but maybe next year will be better.

I have had trouble with blackfly one second it was not there the next second my apple tree was black!!

I now so look forward coming home as the second I walk through the door I’m out in my garden watering picking and just sitting there with a huge grin on my face.

I also not only grow veg but nice pretty planets as well which are doing well.

The low points, so far have been the dogs getting into the green house and eating the salad that I’ve been growing but at lest they are eating healthy, Max my Scotty jumping the fence of my stew berry patch, must make note he may have litter legs but he can jump a 1 foot fence must make bigger next year. He sat in the teaberries and eat the few I had there but have had a few so must have more of them next year tennis and stew berry go together so well. Grow some leaks but they have stayed the size of pencils so will get rid and have another go next year.

High points watching things grow, eating my own vet and saying to my mum don’t buy that have some of mine that is growing, eating my first radish I hate them so much but now growing my own, I’m hooked I never know that they were so juicy and tasty. Waiting to planet out more seeds off to B&Q tomorrow to get a few more pots for more carrots to seed down.
And now my garden is something for me to be proud off
