Well, I have today been to Aldi and they have seeds at 39p, I know I have most of them but they made me feel all excited and so I bought some, I have seeds I have kept from last year, and so have found a few of them out
I have been looking at my old photo's of when I started my first diary, if I can do it anyone can, as we have the girls, we don't have alot of room for veggies, but I am hoping to extend this year and still want a pottager theme.
The start of 2011's Diary
Middle
Full Blast
My favourite pic of all time, fruits of the labour
So I am now planning a different layout, I will do flowers and veg, and will make full use of the greenhouse again, it was brilliant, will start to take pics from this weekend
you will never guess what it looks like now, but, come spring and summer I am hoping to have a good garden full, need to grow more flowers this year too

Re: Perchy's Pottager Patch 2012
Well you will have to use your imagination on this
I have been wanting to have a bit of extra room for veggies, last year was good but not really enough room for potatoes etc, so today uni Son and I started
this has always been a little bit of a wasted area, and since the girls took over the garden , space has been well used, not this bit, so out came the angled trellis, we will move it, waste not and all that
Then the top of the "grass" came off and went into a barrow ready for the girls to play with
It is coming on now, trellis moved to make a better fence and a straighter line, will be able to grow beans and peas and nasturtians and sweetpeas up there
when it had been dug again and raked, we let the gardeners on it to help break up the soil
Probably put potatoes in half of it, and have a think about it, no rush, have the greenhouse to sort yet

Perchy and Uni son

Looking out of the window here at the pouring rain and mud mud mud , I can't imagine anything growing in mine. Maybe hard work but how lucky that the weather allowed you to get stuck in so early in the year - looks like my garden about May time
