Last year I grew some carrots from seed – and chucked some spuds in the ground – the carrots worked but the spuds got blight – still got some nice little earlies though. We also grew some tomato plants in a grow-bag outside and got a few tasty trusses (one of the plants got blight too though – it was awfully damp last year)… although I didn’t really know about topping them…

Anyway – this year – I have gone a little overboard! I do love the bit where the seed germinates and bursts forth full of promise with its cute little cotyledon. Here’s some of the seeds I have planted this year:

• Marjoram
• Sweet Basil
• Greek Oregana
• Thyme
• Summer Savory
• Coriander
• Parsley

• Barlotta Lingua Di Fucco Nano
• Carrot
• Potato
• Chinese Cabbage
• Little Gem
• Pumpkin
• Red Onion
• Pentland Brig Kale
• Melon
• Strawberry

Most of them were from Tucker’s Seeds but I also picked up a few cheap packets from Lidl.

I was going to bore you with an account of this year’s horticultural endeavors, but I found this great site called myfolia.com and will be detailing it all in excruciating detail (if I manage to find the time to update it in between watering everything, weeding and fighting slugs and snails!). This isn’t a gardening blog btw
