I've been a bit quiet when it comes to posting but that's just because I've been so busy cooking, entertaining and finally, GARDENING!!!I scored a major luck while running through my neighborhood on Monday evening - a building site was chucking out a few hundred plastic plant pots and big seedling trays. I went back to fetch them and it looks like I'm sorted for seed planting for the foreseeable future!!
The garden is starting to take shape: the veggie boxes have been moved to where the trampoline used to be (we've kind of outgrown it in the family...!) and the troughs have been cleaned out ready for strawberry seedlings when they finally become available again.
I may have cheated a little and bought a few seedlings the other day (they were just sooooo tempting when I went through the nursery I couldn't help myself...)

| Comfrey - it's coming up all over the place. I'd previously planted it as green manure which the chickens got hold of and I thought it was gone so emptied the soil out of the boxes where it was growing... Needless to say, wherever the soil ended up I've got baby comfrey plants jumping up and now I'm JUMPING for JOY! |
