Soon for the salads
We finally planted out the vegetable patch today, at the house. It’s surprising how full it is already, with our broccoli, pepper and sprout plants. Languishing in the greenhouse and on the patio since they were tiny seeds, I should imagine that they will breathe a little easier now, not being confined to pots, and having proper drainage.
To compliment this season’s vegetable selection and to make the table a veritable feast of self-sufficiency, we also popped in some carrot and leek seeds, as well as some lettuce, to provide a good companion to the fast-ripening tomatoes.
Not being a keen gardener in years gone by, it was three thoroughly enjoyable, and well spent hours. It wasn’t only enjoyable, but also very fulfilling, too, as we’d grown the plants ourselves, from virtually nothing a few weeks ago.
