AJuff Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 and found my peas have pods and the broad beans have pods too. Yesterday they were only flowers I'm sure. I'm so excited! Kids think I've lost the plot! My roses are in bud, apples are growing on the tree, salad has sprouted, strawberrys are forming, peppers are growing and the courgettes have an extra leaf each day! Tomorrow I'm going to dig up a potato plant and see what's underneath.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Growing your own is so exciting isn't it, things change so fast , unfortunately the weeds grow equally fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yannovitch Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 it looks like you are doing well! don't worry about losing the plot! i go banana over the littlest seedlings and then i turn totally mad when anything gets a new leaf, flower or fruit!! any other people going mad like that? or am i just sad...?

Tara.F Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I am a tad fanatical too I can't quite believe how important my veggies have become to me over the last few years...I am a woman obsessed! I think in this day and age...with everything so commercialised and superficial...getting back to growing our food and providing in a real sense for our families brings an almost spiritual relief. even to an atheist like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 It is lovely to be able to get fresh food from the garden isn't it? I love just wandering round the garden and checking progress. I picked some broad beans this morning and tidied up the stems a bit. When I looked again this evening there were some more pods ready for picking!!! Surely I didn't overlook that many this morning, either that or they've been growing in front of my eyes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I eat a big bowl of home grown salad leaves in work every day and I'm trying to get every one at work to at least grow their own lettuce. This is my second year trying to grow my own food. I've done better this year than last. I hope to learn a bit more every year and establish some routines. (Like remembering to plant garlic bulbs before Christmas) It's so rewarding to get a nice crop of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
