Spring Plans for 2018

So there has been some time since we have last posted on the Blog.

It has been a busy family time last year with a new member of the family "Marley Bloom" and Oscar is growing up so fast!

But with a new season comes a new plan!

So with the help from a lovely gardening app we have planned out this years veg garden.

So far we have 4 different Basil plants on the go...Thai, Genovese, Dark Opal, Lemon

2 Weeks old:

In time will look like the following:

Dark Opal

Lemon

Thai

Genovese

We also planted outside our Garlic Bulbs "Provence Wight" (just before the winter frost) and there are looking very happy!

Also just started Propagating some Pumpkin plants and looking good only 1 week old.

Also Catnip...

New Wooden Seed Box

As my seed collection has been growing and growing over the last year, I've been keeping these in a small plastic box along with other useful garden impliments, such as string, veg labels etc. So I've been considering buying a new seed box, now I did add this to my Christmas list, but it didn't seem to make it under the tree.

Since then I've had a quick scout around on a few of my favorite gardening sites and they all seemed a little steap in price, even in the sales. But luckerly, I noticed in my office that the packaging from a wine box gift set was going to be thrown away, which I decided to grab, so instead of buying one, I decided to recycle this box and use it instead. The wooden box has a sliding lid and inside it is divided into two, with just enough room to fit seed packets in.
