Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

Saturday, 12 March 2011

The sun is shining, Dylan went down for a mega two hour nap (along with Daddy!) So I got busy in the garden for the first time this year. I dug over all bar one of the beds (how I can call patches of dirt THAT small a bed I dint know!) and built this year's 'mighty erection for my beans. I even trimmed the bush by the back door, though the dead pigeon in it remain *shudders*.

Once I've rebuilt the greenhouse, on a few weeks it's planting time - whoop!

This year I'll be cramming the following into my tiny garden:

4 courgettes
1 butternut squash
1 spaghetti squash
6-10 sweetcorn
8 runner beans
16 French beans
Giant sunflowers
Cut and come again salad
Peas
Maybe some edible flowers

And in containers:
Aubergine
Pepper
3-5 tomatoes 
More salad
Radishes

Plus I'm going to illicitly plant some veg in a neglected patch of ground round the side of our row of houses - tee hee!

It's going to be a busy year!
