Grow Your Own

No início deste mês, aderi ao One Plot Pledge. A seguir, inscrevi-me no Dig In e recebi, pelo correio e de graça, quatro pacotes de sementes: courgettes (o meu legume preferido!), cenouras, tomates e feijão verde. Entretanto, a Alys Fowler transformou-se rapidamente na minha nova heroína. Este país está a despertar em mim um interesse pela jardinagem, quem diria?
Earlier this month I took the One Pot Pledge. And then I signed up for Dig In and got four free seeds packets in the post: courgettes (my favourites!), carrots, tomatoes and french beans. Meanwhile, Alys Fowler has quickly become my new hero. This country is getting me interested in gardening, who would have thought?

    Desde que nos mudámos para o campo que temos cultivado umas coisas, sinceramente tem sido tudo empiricamente, pois não percebo nada do assunto, entretanto já começaram a germinar as cenouras, os coentros, as beterrabas e os tomateiros. Interessantes os sites, bons para aprender! 🙂

    Que maravilha! Aqui também se preza muito a natureza e a jardinagem e os “allotments” que aí também há.
    Também eu tenho rolos papel higiénico na minha varanda, à espera que a neve pare….
    Que bom ver isso tudo crescer e depois comer!

    Did you watch Alys on Edible Garden last night? She's great. Watching it made me think I could definitely use our small garden a bit more (although I can't bring myself to loose our small patch of lawn completely!).
    Good luck with growing your own fruit and vegetables for the first time, I'm sure you'll love it!

    Ah you are getting into an English obsession, gardening. Have you heard of Bridgemere garden center? I used to live in a village in Staffordshire called Eccleshall and went there (its on the Staffs/Cheshire boarder), Eccleshall also has a good small garden center, complete with zoo!

    Wow, that is so amazing. I dream of having my own garden. I loved visiting my grandparents as a child, they had an enormous garden and grew lots of fruit and vegetables…

    I started my veggie patch last year and it's totally addictive. I only planted a few things but this year I've gone mad !!! I've even run out of room so I'm growning potatoes in bags. Loving Alys Fowler's programme too, it's great. You'll be getting chooks next :o) I have three and they are just gorgeous. Happy Growing :oO

    Olá. Vinha aqui comentar que uso rolos de papel higienico mas alguém já se adiantou 🙂 resultam igualmente bem e da-mos utilidade a eles, reciclando-os de outra forma.

    Adoro o blog, que leio sempre no meu Outlook.
