My heart is filled with excited flutters.It all began on Sunday.
A neighbour popped by with 6 lettices and a bag of peas and beans.
On Monday the sun was bursting through the clouds, streaming onto my little garden. My hands were covered in soil and I was surrounded by little pots, bags of seeds and hope.
Stuart assembled a little green house for me, Pablo oversaw the whole operation, of course!
I re potted my tomato plants and 3 tiny pepper plants. I planted 50 basil seeds and these are now all housed in their nifty new home.
The lettice is already looking lush and I am going to have a beautiful salad this weekend with home made dressing.
But thing the tiny thing that has me so ecxited is this:
Either a pea or a bean sprout, poking it's little head up through the soil!As you can tell from my almost child like emotions about my little garden and growing things I can eat, that I am new to all of this. I have been reading this great bit of the BBCs Gardeners World website, Grow your own grub! And I have a vision. I have established my herbs, am moving on to salads and next year I'm aiming for veggies! (I am 31 not 60, but am so into this right now, maybe I need to make a collection of jewels to garden in!)
Do you have a green thumb? What are you growing just now?

that's exciting that something's sprouting :) I wish I could garden but unfortunately I get so forgetful that my plants never make it for very long.
Here here Megan....I always forget about everything and they all DIE!

What fun!!! Everything looks grand! :) I wish you all the best in your green thumbing adventures!
Oh, growing things is very exciting indeed! Unfortunately we do not have any outside space, not even a veranda... still, we use every window space available!
Right now we are growing some parsley (very easy and incredible flavour!), basil (keeps growing and growing and makes a delish pesto!!), oregano and cherry tomatoes!
I saw Jamie growing some sprouts in glass jars and I really want to try those (it0s from his Summer Recipes DVD) but I'm not sure what kind of sprouts was he talking about...
happy growing!
