The Potted Garden...

Afternoon again...

This is the second entry of our little growing experiment...

The carrots are growing like the clappers. In the next few weeks we have to thin them out, there are far too many in the pots... Things you learn and all that...

As you can see on the left hand side of the picture in the blue tubs, the potatoes have come on nicely. We have banked the arth around them so that the potato shoots give us proper spuds, not green ones...

One of the new additions, we got some mint in. After a bad start where the bloody pigeons ate all the leaves off it and an addition of some chicken wire we are now off and eating the stuff, bloody gorgeous!!!

Another late addition, a tub with 4 varieties of chillies. I got habanero, thai, sweet red and scotch bonnet to burn my arse!

Here you can see the runaway winner sofar, the salad leaves. We have been eating them for two weeks now and we are just about keeping up with the growth rate hahahaha. There is nothing better than 5 minutes before dinner to go out to the patio, pick a bowl of leaves, wash ' em and eat them, you can't get fresher that that... Sofar it has been easy and very tasty, can't wait for the other stuff to mature. Don't even mind when it rains now, good growing weather hahahaha!!!

Taraaa,

Alex.
