Soil, Seeds and Seed Trays

Just how exciting can a seed be, have I gone too far?

You know it wasn’t that long ago that the mere hint of gardening would send me instantly to sleep, but things have certainly changed since then. I know this because I found myself bizarrely sitting in the dining room one evening with a bucket of soil, a bag load of seeds and some seed trays because I hadn’t gotten around to planting that day and it was far too cold (and dark) to go outside.

Enthusiastic or crazy? You decide!

So as you may have gathered I have really gone to town with the whole growing this year. I have started from scratch at the right time of the year and have even read all of the instructions on the reverse of the seed packets.

If that wasn’t enough I have also commandeered the kitchen wipe board and drawn up an instruction table noting all applicable planting and harvesting times.

Every window ledge in the house is now home to a number of different seeds. Taking ‘growing your own’ to a new level, we have onions and carrots in the bedroom, tomatoes, aubergines, courgettes, peppers and cucumbers in the study, seed potatoes ‘chitting’ in the kitchen along with some Dill and Rosemary growing in Hug Pots.

For some reason I get strange looks when I tell people that.

How odd…..
