It's all about the green..

So I've turned my hands to gardening. Got some free time right now and reckoned I'd try growing my own.

The radishes are going seriously great guns. They survived the transfer from seed tray to deep planting trough without any problems. Reckon my salad onions were more traumatised by the same. They haven't wasted away but are more stunted by comparison.

Tomato seedlings are taking their time. I transplanted my plants from the window sill to garden on Saturday, on what felt like the coldest day of the year! Poor little b******s were pounded by the wind and rain till I found sanctuary for them in the greenhouse. A few days on and they still look violated by the experience.

The Carrot seeds that X scattered merrily at the far end of the garden seem to be holding on tenaciously amongst the gathering weeds. I plan to take a large pair of choppers to the rest of the garden (bamboo, roses et al) to clear away some more planting space...If it grows, but I can't eat it, I'm not interested!

Cheers

Alex
