a very busy month...

...so I have been fairly terrible at keeping this up to date! In fact completely useless and it has been well over a month since I have blogged!

I have however been super busy planting seeds and tending to the seedlings and my terrace is beginning to look lovely indeed.

I currently have growing...

• tomatoes (a LOT of them)


• cucumber


• spinach


• carrots


• onions


• garlic


• strawberries


• various lettuce leaves


• beetroot


• cauliflower


• cabbage


• chilli peppers


• yellow bell peppers


• sweet peppers


• basil (green and purple)


• oregano


• thyme


• coriander


• parsley


• mint


• potatoes

Wow it looks like a lot when you write the list out like that.  As you can imagine my windowsills are looking very full at the moment.  I have set up a little table in the utility room in order to free up a little space but have still had to relocate some of the cucumbers, tomatoes and pepper plants outside-some are doing surprisingly well, others are suffering horribly.

I've also spent a small fortune on pots and compost-which has led me to look into vermicomposting.  As we certainly don't have room for a proper composter I think this will be a good compromise until I move in to a dream house with a huge garden.  If anyone has any experience of this I would love to hear about it.

I really want to keep a better track of my seedlings so promise I will be a more regular blogger from now on!
