Veggie plot!

There has been a little bit of deliberation going on here as to whether or not we are ready for/deserve an allotment...Our seedlings are flourishing and it's become clear that there are far too many to just grow them in pots like I'd planned (and honestly, who grows sweetcorn in pots anyway??!) I love the idea in principle, but fear that after an initial bout of enthusiam, we would inevitably surrender it to the weeds, being just a little bit too lazy to actually GO anywhere to garden. Also, the nice thing about gardening at home is the fact that I can just pootle on outside when baby Boo is having a nap. So we have decided to dig up a chunk of our garden and dedicate it solely to veggies, the idea being that if it works, and we get really green fingered, we may just look into an allotment next year. We had lots of fun preparing this, and the littlun had his first, proper, messy baby boy, mud eating experience!

UPDATE! JUNE'09

After a slow start and battle of wills against the slugs of our village, we have thriving plant life in the veggie patch!
