The name of my blog is "a little bit of this, a little bit of that" yet when I scroll back through my previous posts they are all about sewing so I thought it to me to expand and share a little more about what's going on around here.
I have been watching a UK show on foxtel called The Big Allotment Challenge. It was a reality show where people grew veg and plants on a small allotment and then cooking, preserving and decorating with the fruits of their labour. Inspired I decided to expand on our 4 fruit trees, a basil plant and some chilli plants and make an attempt at growing some vegetables in our back yard.
We have a boisterous dog and a 2 year old so I couldn't dig up the lawn and make garden beds so I decided instead to make a container garden. My husband jumped on my band wagon and bought me some necessary items for Christmas, seeds, pots etc.
So the other night my daughter and I went outside while dinner was in the oven and set to planting the seeds in hope that they will grow into vegetable bearing plants. I was clearing out the back of the fridge the other day I also found some garlic that had started to sprout, that has also now been planted.
The seeds ready to grow and sustain us for the winter ;)
Some cute little things my hubby bought me for Christmas. They come with everything you need.
A berry plant of some kind lol
The sprouting garlic.
So they are now all planted and we are watching and waiting for them to show any sign of life. I will endeavour to keep you all posted.
Thanks for reading :o)
