Our Garden!

Well after killing a whole heap of seedlings a couple of weeks ago, we have decided to try starting from seed for our veggie patch.

We had the blocks of lucerne hay laid out already, so this morning just made holes in them, filled them with potting mix and water crystals, and planted our seeds. The boys ended up putting more than enough seeds in each hole so I'm hoping we'll at least get a few plants sprouting from them!

We put in some parsley, basil, and chives. And just out our back door we put some pak choy, beans, and rocket. I filled six spaces of the bottom half of an egg carton with potting mix too, and put some tomato seeds in there. They're roma tomatoes and I'm really hoping they go ok - I would love to have fresh tomatoes in the garden.

The boys had fun - although Ewan was a bit eager with the potting mix and then would try to suck his fingers - covered in the dirt! Yum! Liam also raked up a pile of dry leaves and added them to the compost.

So a very productive morning and I hope we have something to show for it soon!
