So after 8 months of living in the countryside we are finally ready to start growing our own vegetables. There's a nice patch of garden next to the kitchen window which is ideal for the purpose, so Mark and the kids have started digging it out. We've got potatoes, peas, onions, leeks and courgettes to plant.
Neither of us are any good at cultivating plants. We're hoping to learn as we go, but any advice would be welcome! So far it has been a good activity to do in short bursts as the weather is still very cold here, but there is some sunshine.
We're also planting a few flowers after growing seeds on the window sill. It has been a great exercise in patience as the children have to water the plants daily and wait to see the results.
Some of us read these blogs with great interest, even if we have nothing very intelligent to add. It's nice to see that the children will end up eating fresh green vegetables!
