Garden Blogs

That's Welsh for 'I love my garden!'. Yes, it is in Wales. About 5 miles from the lovely Cardigan Bay coastline and backing onto fields (with cows!) After 3 years of living here, I finally persuaded my better half to build me some raised beds so that I can have a go at veg growing. To protect the veg from my garden 'helpers' (2 lovely labs who don't understand gardening) he also built a fence around the beds which mostly works. Doesn't stop the mole from trying to pop up through the membrane though and you can often watch the bark paths moving to the mole beat! Anyway, after some success with flowers and herbs, as well as bamboo/trees/shrubs etc etc I'm up for the veg challenge. The greenhouse is bursting with seedlings along with the tomatoes, aubergines, peppers cucumbers and chillies (no room at the inn!) which will move to the cold frame before being planted out into the beds. The only veg in the beds right now are spuds. I've tried them in those round planters as well to see if they work. Experimental gardening! So, over the next few weeks I'll share my successes and failures with you and hopefully one or two tips along the way. Bye for now.....Sam. P.s. hope the pics appear, am not exactly technically able.
