I think I mentioned a few posts back that we layered up some large pots with the idea of planting some potatoes. We’ve never tried growing potatoes before so this was a huge experiment. We got a couple of seed potatoes from Morrisons and also one from a free coupon inside a gardening magazine. Back […]

Vege progress: getting ready to harvest our no-dig gardens
We are getting excited, our vege’s are coming along beautifully, all we need is lots more sunshine!!! Everything looks green and lush and is growing so well.
