Time for a garden update


Well, the gardening pursuits are still going well. I am still surprised by how much I am enjoying gardening. The enthusiasm levels have dropped just a little as measured by how I feel about the rain. In the initial stages of my gardening adventures I would get annoyed when it rained because it meant I would not have to water the garden now I am grateful as I means I don't have to go and water the garden.

The snow peas have grown a lot!




The first flower has been joined by many more. Many pods to follow!




My initial attempts at growing rocket were far from successful thanks to the assistance of baby earwigs (they were discovered feasting on the new plants one night). Later attempts were more successful with two rocket plants now flourishing.

The other photo is of hot pepper seedlings (initially grown inside) that I have just planted into a pot.


As well as enjoying watching the new growth and changes in the garden each day I have enjoyed some home grown food (radishes and lettuce) and will be enjoying more very shortly (snow peas!). Yum!
