Garden update

I was very, very pleased to see that there are a number of very healthy looking seedlings (both tomato and zucchini) growing in pots on my verandah and the peas are also taking off! I received a copy of The Digger's Club seed book to loan for a little while and I am really inspired by the many different kinds of seeds that I can buy!

My husband and I are hoping to buy a house in the next couple of months, so part of me wants to buy lots of seeds so that I can grow them in what I hope will be a sizeable garden!

Already I have plans drawn up for the kind of vegetable / fruit patch that I want - one for every season of the year!

I suppose it all really comes down to the place that we decide to buy and the sun / shade factor as well as space!

One thing that I have learned, is that I can grow almost anything in a pot and this has given me great satisfaction.

I love Autumn because zucchinis and peas will come into their own, taking pride of place in many dishes that I hope to cook. The tomatoes will form the base of my own homemade pasta sauce and tomato sauce, so I really look forward to days spent in the kitchen in the holidays! Will be a welcome relief from the frenetic activity of work at present!
