Veggi Growing

MY VEGGIE GARDEN

I have never grown veggies before but decided to give it a try as my friend was growing them in her garden. Although I have a garden I decided to grow them on my patio in tubs. I had a plastic greenhouse which disintegrated so I used a set of shelves, which I covered in the plastic from the greenhouse. With this I have been able to grow tomatoes.

GORGEOUS TOMS

I have never grown any veggies before but as my friend was doing the self suffiencey bit I thought I'd give it a go. She gave me the cuttings off her tomato plants and we placed them in soil and hoped for the best. I now have 10 plants, with the majority having lovely fruits

I also planted out some runner beans seeds in a tub and strung a net across my purgola. The beans grew really fast and covered the netting in no time. I have had lots of lovely runner beans and I have more growing.

The runner beans were such a success that I decided to grow some more. I went to the recycling centre and found a deep box which I have utilised to grow the beans in. They have not produced fruits yet but they have the flowers on, so I expect to have some fruits soon.

Horrible few months

We have had a torrid few months so I have not had the heart to blog......

In March my OH was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which turned our world upside down. Shortly afterwards we were told that my BIL, Jimmys', cancer was terminal and on Monday 16th August he lost his brave fight against this awful disease. Jimmy was a lovely man and his death has left a big hole in many peoples lives.

My Health has been up and down in the last few months but now I hope to be on the better side so I intend to continue where I left off.

SOME GOOD NEWS

On the 23 May 2010 we had a new grandaughter. Her name is Laura, Susan, Sheila and I am very proud of her and all my grandchildren. We have been blessed.
