The weather was perfect for planting, so last night I ventured in to my little back garden and took out my plants and got on with planting. The plants were desperate to go outside. Some of the tomato plants even had tomatoes on them already!
As my back garden is in limbo and the raised beds aren't in place yet, out came four grow bags. I use ring cultures to give the tomato plants more room. Now I have 9 tomato plants. I also planted 5 courgette plants out - this may be too many, as we could barely cope with courgettes from 2 plants last year. French beans were also planted out. Now I need to buy some netting for them - I don't trust the local birds!
I already have potatoes growing in bags and strawberries in pots.Not many things but I love the fact that I am growing my own produce. I'm always impressed with things that I've grown and of course they always taste wonderful.
A wonderful thing also happened. My husband finished the decking. First part of new garden is complete.
