The begining

Where do i begin? that's it my daughter arrived home from school some months ago with a pea plant in a small plastic coffee cup (like the ones out of a drinks machine) and announced this is the start of our veg garden dad.
Well considering our garden is pretty small to say the least and there would be certain people that would not be happy if we started to dig it up to plant a veg garden so a different idea was come up with while visiting my mothers house (who shall from now on in this blog be known as nanny)
after some searching round the back of nanny's green house we found two large rectangle tubs and a few smaller round ones which some how found there way into the back of the car,
and after a trip to the shop that sells everything for a pound we had the making of a small potted veg garden growing on our window sill.
All was going great kids showed interest in the new shoots that where poking there heads through the earth that came with the seeds and a general interest in where there food came from and how it was grown.
When the seedlings where ready we had great fun in getting the compost ready in the larger tubs the pea plant and a bean plant from my other daughter also joined the veg plot things were great and all plants were doing really well then we had to go on our family holiday to wales.
On our return we found that the slugs had also been on holiday in our mini veg garden.
We have now been back off our hols for a couple of weeks now and are planning to be prepared for the next growing year
So please keep looking a we blog the whole of what goes on in my city garden
