NEW SEED HAS ARRIVED FOR 2016 (MORE TO COME)

As the heading says some of the seeds that i ordered have arrived so i will be sowing some of them this week end. My first ones to sow will be the onions and as most gardeners will know they will need to be sown early to get a  descent size one. This year i am looking to get one around 6-8lbs in   weight  which will be fine for entering the veg shows later in the year. This year i am a little in front as to getting my mixes ready for sowing so i can say that is a good job done. At the end of last year my sons took me to ware i get my compost from and purchased what i needed for this year  and by the looks of it i have saved a couple of pounds by doing that. The onions that i will be growing this year are  Robinsons Mammoth and  Giant russian i will also sow a few Kelsae seeds which i had left over from last year and if they are successful in turning into plants will give them to my daughter who likes to grow veg as well. That is all for now the next blogg will be on the 10-1-2016

The Start of another year 2016

Now that's a new year started, I am hoping that I will have a better season on the garden then last year. The problem I had last year was mainly due to bad health, for example breathing, walking and bending, but I must say I am a little better now. I am hoping to blog fairly often in the future on how I am  progressing with growing toms, onions, runner beans and a few different sorts of flowers. In the past I have not put a lot of images on my blog so I will improve on that.This is only a shot blog just to start 2016 off. So I would like to wish all the bloggers a good season.
