Coming Up Roses

...Or rather veg!

xXx

Hi There :)

Good news from the garden- we have life! The seeds that were sown a short while ago, are springing up green! Time for a photo-shoot methinks. Ooh, it's exciting!

 We've been blessed with more beautiful sunny weather recently and the garden is loving it. I brought a grow-bag home last Saturday night (Ok, I didn't carry it myself- 40L of compost is HEAVY!) and mum and I planted out a few of the seedlings on Sunday morning. Note that the two large tomato plants on the right are not a product of my incredible agricultural efforts, but were bought from a car boot sale last week.. we're allowed one cheat ;)

Lettuce

Lettuce, Sunflowers and Carrots.

The seeds at James', having been sown first, are now an abundance of foliage. (Come on, I'm excited!)

What's happening in your garden? Anybody else have a vegetable patch?

Notes From The Garden

Hello.

all done up in make-do 'greenhouses'

Oh the 'bluebells' are out! Well these are actually grape Hyacinth I believe, but there certainly are bluebells about, out in the woods. There are some lovely ones on the way to my beloved's house, which I walk often, but however taken with their beauty, I'm sometimes just overcome with a sense of self-consciousness which prevents me from pausing a moment by the roadside, in full view of passing traffic in order to photograph them; and so you'll have to do with my imitations from the back garden. :)

 I recently bought some seeds to have a go at growing some of my own flowers and veg. I'm still living with my parents and so the garden is mostly the product of my mothers handiwork, but I wanted to have a go myself and so when, one day the other week, she was buying seeds, I decided I would take a few sachets too.

 We sowed a few at Jamie's house and they are already sprouting- tiny little green shoots, it's very exciting to see! I sowed some back here at home too, and the rest just went in today in some new compost.

 So we're waiting patiently for: Love-In-A-Mist, Forget-Me-Nots, Lettuce, Carrots, Pumpkins, Sunflowers, Tomatoes and mixed summer flowers.

I can't wait to see them start coming along!

Otherwise, this week has been spent singing (Our teacher is really pleased with the progress we're making on Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'); playing at open mic (you can see the photos on Facebook!) and, yesterday, digging on the beach on a day out with the Cubs in the wind and the rain, before snuggling up back at home to watch the Eurovision.

 Well done Denmark :)
