I'm about to give in and head to the garden centre!

starting stuff from seed has been a nightmare this year. Very few things have germinated properly or gone on to thrive.

I planted 30 sweetcorn, quite late ( early june) to avoid all the cold/windy weather and only 3 have come up!!!

So I'm heading off the the garden centre to see what they have got...so I can at least plant something on my plot!


..The prices will probably make me reconsider thought. ;D

I feel your pain! . By now my squashes are romping away but they have stood still and are refusing to grow. the only vegetables that are progressing are the lettuces, cabbages and spring onions!!

Not a good year :'(

Everything in moderation.  I bought a mixed pack of 20 mini brassica plants for a shocking £5 from Wyevales.  But they were all good plants and I had some vouchers about to expire.

Just be careful out there  ;)

I start my corn under the hot water tank. It comes up in no time, then it goes on the windowsill for a bit before migrating to the allotment.

it is said that this year's Chinese lunar year to have 'two springs'

so be patient, everything will be alright if not better!

I went yesterday...

They must have had a promotion at the weekend.... as there was nothing left!!!!!   ...except chillie plants!

So I went up the lottie and planted some lettuces and more parsnips...

and used load of slug pellets ( I know, I know! )

I'll start of more cabbages and PSB at home and maybe some more courgettes. I've just decided to keep sowing and sowing and sowing...something will come up!


Maybe B& Q might have someting.
