Gardening greens...

I mentioned in a previous blog that we were trying to get our garden ready for the summer and it is nearly there!
Last year when we moved house our garden was awful! We are very lucky to live towards the countryside despite the house being a year old, it was previously farm land so you can imagine what the 'mud' was like.
We now have (thanks to the hard work of my parents) a lovely patio, raised flower beds these are both finished with railway sleepers. A sweet little shed is in the back in the corner which I am going to paint probably in 'eiderdown' and would love to grow some wisteria up the side, and our pink blossom tree is in the other corner to the right, we need to get some little stones to put down next to the shed and under the tree. Also we have a patch of grass that needs to be seede so fingers crossed I can do that this weekend.



I am giving it a gow with growing carrotts, some cute little round ones and a bunch of regular ones too, I am growing them in wooden tubs like the ones below and so far I haven't killed them! I want to grow some more but need to buy some more tubs, I like the idea that you know where they have been growing and that they don't have any nasties on them either.


Have you tried growing any fruit and veg? How have you been getting on, please share your hints and tips.
