A trip to the Garden Centre

We have decided that this is the year we WILL sort the garden out. We've been living here now for 3 years and it's time we got down to it. We have over £400 worth of garden centre vouchers to spend from our wedding back in June, and a more definite idea of what we want to spend it on.

So in the interest of getting on with things, yesterday I started off some sprouting seeds in my seed sprouter. Namely Rocket and Red Cabbage. A great instant gratification gardening project! I also planted basil, oregano and coriander from a seed set hubby was bought for his birthday.

I have decided to concentrate on herbs this year and see if I can manage to not buy any from a supermarket! They will taste better and think of all the varieties. Matthew will be concentrating on vegatables, but there's one or two I fancy trying. Cherry tomatoes in hanging baskets and Jalepeno peppers (because I can't buy them anywhere), so far. I am also going to start taking more photos!
