So its still winter, but even so we have had a couple of warm, dry enough weekends to finish the digging. We have some really cold days as the pictures show.
Along with the digging we also got the green house and the grow house built.
Although the grow house got moved into the potting shed to give our seedlings a little more protection from the frosts that soon followed. And the green house got destroyed by storm Doris (the same name as my cat that lives with my mum).
Speaking of seedlings we have sown 2 batches. The first batch is shown in the pictures here but the second batch didn't get photographed.
The first batch consisted of:
Cabbage - golden acre
Flower sprouts
Broccoli - summer purple sprouting
Leeks - all season mix
Shallots - zebrune
Radish - rainbow mix
Lettuce - gourmet loose leaf mix
The second batch consisted of:
Tomato - pineapple
Tomato - moneymaker
Tomato - current gold rush
Basil - purple ruffle
Beans - runner
Beans - marvel of venice
Cabbage - greyhound
Spinach - red kitten
Beetroot - rainbow mix
Borage
We also planted some sweet peas, and Bill planted some other stuff too.
Its an exciting time, seeds sprouting, got to build a fruit cage, and soon it will be spring, and that is going to be wonderful.
