Lessons learned

I think studying has taught me a few important lessons and one of those is super organisation. My organisation has always been decent after juggling full-time work with an Open University degree in the past but now it's gone up a notch. I think maybe that is why my planting efforts look so compartmentalised and square this year! Maybe it has brought out my inner nerd even more.....

Here we have some green lettuce leaves many of which will be harvested tonight, red lettuce, basil, coriander, sunflowers (red) and somewhere in there are a couple of tiny marmande tomato seedlings which I hope will come on pretty quickly as because of the weather I sowed them a bit late.

In another small greenhouse I have carrot seedlings, cucumbers, more tomato seedlings, butternut squash, peas (planted today), green beans, borlotti (sp?) beans and more newly sown lettuce. I have also planted "Russian Giant" yellow sunflowers.

Outside (unporotected) I have some very healthy looking radishes, more sweet peas than you can shake a stick at and some flat leafed parsley called 'Laura' (never noticed parsley as having a variety name before!)

I would like to sow some yellow beetroot and some yellow beans at some point in the coming week but that depends on getting study knocked on the head.....

seems appropriate to herald the end of study....although it reminds me of another harrowing study from the past....reading Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness....so may times I can't recall. Mrs McCann is forewarned that by clicking on the link waves of stressful feelings may ensue ;-)
