Plant them and they will come (aka doing The Good Life)

So it's been a long time since I last updated on the progress of the vegetables I have been growing from seed.  So here are some photos of what's been going on in our garden.

We transfered our precious baby shoots into our new freshly made bed

 
Then covered our potatos in tubs drilled with drainage holes


Watered them in


and Dusty checked our work to make sure it passed inspecion


Then suddenly... BAM.... Potato plants!


and pretty potato plant flowers


Next, to check in on the 3 varieties of carrots


and the Brussell sprouts which are currently in the process of taking over the world!


Sadly our tomatos are still small and in the shadow of our their sprouting neighbours


Meanwhile inside, the man and I are having a strawberry growing competition


Then the really exciting moment we picked out first fresh home grown vegetables


Cleaned up those babies


and sat down for a delivious sunday roast!


The difference in taste from the home grown vegetables and those you buy in supermarket chains is incredible and it's so exciting to watch your babies grow from seed to plate!
