Ok, so a busy weekend all round. Let’s begin with the Virgin Gardeners Top Gardening Tip!

Yes that’s right folks, the Clueless gardener has a top tip for you all.

Unless you want crop circles or squares for that matter, don’t leave bags of compost or grow bags on your lawn after planting.

I have exciting news, we have peppers! I really should have looked harder as they were hidden under the leaves, and are a decent size already. They seem to have sprouted from the flowers, which I didn’t realise would happen, and when I say ‘they’ I actually mean ‘it’.

In other exciting news we also have a broccoli shoot which looks like a mini clover.

I am so pleased with the progress so far as I was starting to worry after my dedicated watering that all the seeds we had planted were dead in some way. However I am still concerned about the rest of the seeds so I may have to try a rain dance or something and see if I can encourage them to grow.

We have had some lettuces donated to us so my mission this week is to get them planted up in a Lucky Clover. They look a bit dodgy in places, probably because we should have planted them sooner, but I am hoping they will perk up and the holes will fill up!

That can happen cant it?
