My Place

My Place

Hi guys,

I just wanted to have a thread where I could talk about things that make me happy without bothering anyone else.

So on Sunday a week ago I planted some seeds into a metal tub. Some veggie seeds. Carrots, garlic chives and although it’s not the season for it I threw in some cucumber seeds.

Well yesterday, only a week after planting I noticed my first little green shoot. Then today, there are a bunch of green shoots. Funnily enough I think it’s the cucumbers that have come up first. I may have to make a cloche to help them grow in the cooler weather. The tub is sitting on a concrete path so hopefully that will help keep the soil a bit warmer. I moved them a bit more into the sunshine today as we noticed that the carport was casting shade on them quite early in the afternoon.

I am so happy to see their green little faces pushing up from under that dark earth. Gives me hope in all things. I love to watch things grow. It makes me happy to think that I have played a part in that.

Every day I water them and have a chat with them. How are you today my seeds? I hope that you will grow soon! Now I can encourage them to grow bigger and stronger.

I can’t wait to set up my other veggie garden and grow more things. I am especially looking forward to planting my tomatoes come spring.

It’s kinda poetic justice actually. The lady that took my place for the Robbie Williams respite was the same lady that canceled so now we will be even

i just went out to the garden and cleaned out a couple of raised beds. Pulled out the remnants of the corn, capsicums and eggplants. Put the odds and ends in the compost. Now I have to put a couple of bags of manure and compost on each bed ready for my brussel sprouts. They got potted on from my seed trays into little pots yesterday.

Hey there @Oaktree 🌺☺️

Your garden sounds lovely 😊

How soon do you think it’ll be before you can pop the sprouts into the garden beds? ☺️🌺
