Title: Woohoo stuffs growing!!!!
Post by: Magnolia on May 12, 2008, 20:20:48
I wasnt fully convinced that all this green stuff would develop fruit/veg but it's starting to happen.  I've just seen the beginnings of my very 1st tomato - it's tiny but its defo a tomato.

And I have 1 1/2 inch broad beans.  Gawd it's exciting.

I spent the best part of last year clearing and preparing my three plots. I then spent the first three months of this year sitting in my shed looking at 30 square rods of bare earth yearning to plant it all up. Now it's all planted up I've got to sit in my shed for another three months waiting for it all to grow so I can pick it and eat it.

Exciting? The suspense is killing me!  >:(

Classic Young ones episode! :)

What a difference a few days of sunshine makes.

Everything's coming up or grown loads.

I went to Sheffield for the weekend, came back and it's like day of the triffids! :D

We have a couple of courgette flowers and a few aubergine flowers.  It is addictive this 'growing your own' lark and so exciting.  Can't wait to pick and eat.  ;D
