NEWS.....Radish Trial

Here we go then, the first news of seeds being planted. I have planted some radish seeds up and put them in our new greenhouse to see how they fair. There is one pot of "Scarlet Globe" and one pot of "French Breakfast" (not sure if the French really eat radish for breakfast but still). Pictures and news to follow once there is something to report.

So, no posts for a while. Here is a bit of a catch up so that you can see the current 'state' of the garden. Obviously, since it is winter not a lot has changed. In the coming month or so we will start planting seeds and making preparations for the plants that we want to grow.


As you can see, we have removed the turf and created some borders. Fingers crossed, they will produce some nice veg for us to eat!












The latest addition to the garden is our greenhouse. I'm having a cup of tea here after we finished putting up the framework. It is a light plastic construction but it feels fairly sturdy. We will have to see how it stands up to the rigours of an Essex winter!









Here it is in situ. We have attached it to the ground fairly firmly and also put some guys on to tie it to the fence panals. Fingers crossed it will stay up.

As you can see it is not glass but a thickish type of plastic. Hopefully it will still get enough light through it.
