Bought and found


We went for a walk on the beach a couple of days ago. It had been very stormy and lots of small planks and broken pallets had washed up on the beach. They were collected and stowed under the buggy somewhat precariously. All arrived home intact (baby included) and a return visit was planned for the following day to see if any more wood had washed up. A few more pieces were collected and some seaweed. The weed started drying out quite quickly so no time was spared in delivering it to the plot.

It has just dawned on me that if we are to grow veg for Christmas dinner we actually need to plant the necessary seeds! A quick additional order from the Organic Gardening catalogue will need to be set up. You can't have Christmas dinner without sprouts and parsnips can you?

The planting plan is taking shape. A giant wall planner has been purchased and various colour coded shapes and patterns added to it. Sowing and 'sowing under glass' (yellow), and orange for (roughly) when to plant out should help to keep things on track.
