My Garden!

If I had known how to go about this whole blog thing beforehand I would have been able to put on more photos of my own little container garden that I created, but I didnt, so you will all just have to settle for these few pics and wait paitently like me to see what the outcome is!

One night I suddenly had the serious need to grow stuff,so I planned it all out and researched what I could grow in containers as I dont actually have a garden, I have a solid balcony. Anyway, I found a few things that I was still able to plant as seeds and what I could grow in pots. From this I went round a few garden centres looking for the best deal on compost and seeds. Just a tip, the best containers I found had to be the plastic laundry buckets at Tesco's! They are deep enough to grow things like baby carrots and spring onions. So I set about filling my tubs with compost and then planting the seeds, getting up every morning to water them and keeping watch for any seedlings poking through. After something like a month of this, this is the sight I am now met by in the morning.....



This tall plant in the middle is a green pepper plant, and around it at the bottom I am growing baby carrots and spring onions. I really cant wait untill I am able to dig them up and see what they taste like :)




In this lovely pot, I am growing Spinach and Tom Thumb lettuce :) It is so simple to grow things, I really urge everyone to give it a go, I think it cost me something like £20 max to get all the stuff I needed to get setup. There are instructions on the back of the seed packs and it is so simple to do, you just have to remember to water them! It probably sounds silly but its really rewarding waking up in the morning and seeing how much everything has grown, it gives me a real sense of achievement. Go on people, get growing your own!
