Grow Vegetables

Today has been a bit rubbish and also super hot so I decided to spend the evening reading my Kitchen Garden magazine outside with a bowl of salted caramel ice cream. This ticks off a few prompts for #summerfunbingo too!

Mitch My new favourite magazine! 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Yum!!! 4y

Hufflepuffle @Mitch it‘s so good! My new neighbour recommended it, he is a gardening wizard so I had to subscribe in the hopes that I can become as good as him and as good as my Grandad used to be! 4y

Mitch @Hufflepuffle we‘re new subscribers too! 4y

Spent the afternoon planning out the veg patch and sorting out seeds - next weekend planning to do a marathon spring clear and get the garden ready for growing season. 👍🏼

LiteraryinPA That looks like it‘s going to be an amazing garden! 5y

Mitch @LiteraryinLititz we started growing veg last year for the first time and really really enjoyed it. So we‘ve made the plot bigger for 2020! 5y

Mitch @MoonWitch94 Thank you xxx 5y

TheAromaofBooks Love your map!! I grow lots of basil, too. I'm working for a greenhouse this spring where we mostly grow wholesale herbs to sell to other garden centers - we must grow at least 30 varieties of basil. I don't know how I'm going to choose which ones to plant!!! 5y

Mitch @TheAromaofBooks cool! I went to a kitchen garden last year and they were growing Greek basil all around their tomatoes as an insect deterrent. So trying that this year! 5y

I‘ve been reading the tagged book over winter - hoping to increase my crop from the veg patch this year. Passed this little village shop today and they seem to have good ‘green fingers‘ !

SamAnne You live in a warmer climate than me if that is available in your farmer market. My beds are covered in snow. 5y

Mitch @SamAnne yes I think so! We‘re still pulling carrots and beetroot from the planters. 👍🏼 5y

Oh my goodness - we‘ve done it! Spent almost a month clearing old shrubs and overgrown roses, erecting a greenhouse and putting down a lawn! Now I‘ve got until spring to read this and figure out how to grow something! #novice

julesG You can do this! I'm also sure you can ask questions here, we have a huge community of people with a plethora of hobbies. PS: Friends of mine grew potatoes in their back garden near Clapton Pond. 6y

laurieluna You can do it! If I managed to grow some strawberries you can do anything! X 6y

Cathythoughts Good luck 👍🏻 I‘m sure you will make a great job of it 6y

Craftylikefox It looks so lovely! I am so jealous :) you will do great! 6y

Mitch @LauraBeth we had a very enclosed “cottage like” garden a month or so ago- but clearing things out and back have really given is a new lease of life. We were inspired by this book

Revive your Garden

Mitch @Craftylikefox when I was little I remember growing beans with my grandad underneath the washing line! Hoping the summer will be full of warm feelings ! 😃 6y

Craftylikefox Oh yes! That‘s the best part. I remember eating peas right off the vine! Peas and beans do better if you grow them straight in the soil. They don‘t like to be transplanted. I hope you have lots of warm feelings 💕💕💕 6y

Chrissyreadit Did you build your greenhouse? I want to try gardening from seed but unsure of what to invest in a greenhouse. 6y

DGRachel Congrats! 6y

Soubhiville Wow, you have a good amount of space! It looks great! 6y

Soubhiville Favorites I‘ve found easy to grow: Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Chard, Strawberries. That was in North Carolina and Tennessee... 6y

Mitch @Soubhiville @DGRachel Thanks Guys.... the bed at the side is all covered and prepped waiting now to be able to plant something! Counting the days till spring! 🤣 6y

Mitch @Soubhiville cool. We‘re definitely doing mini cucumbers- we make a lovely Sri Lanka cucumber curry so thought it‘d be cool to do that with ones we‘ve actually grown! Mmm might give chard a go.... x 6y

Mitch @Chrissyreadit we did! It was a birthday present from my husband! 6y

Soubhiville I‘m excited for you! 6y

Lreads This is amazing! I‘m so excited for you! 6y
