life is growing
well all seems good on my strip of land, strawberrys starting to flower, leeks poking up, radish almost ready to pick, garlic and onions standing to attention and my peas are starting to look like plants, my potatoes are now in pots all for small earlies and my sweetcorn has started to grow, planted 15 in to pots about half have appeared, but 7 is plent for my first attempt, as my space is limited im wondering where im going to put the rest of my stuff, beetroots ready to go in the ground , i planted some spring onioins, cucmber and corgettes this week, hope the come up ..... meanwhile been working on my pond, had a cleanout form the winter and added some pea gravel to give it more of a light effect, although i have a small stream attached but alas it seems to lose water from somewhere, only losing about an inch over 8 hours but at that rate it will be empty within 4 days.....

Hi Stevy... Thanks for the mini greehouse tips. I think I've done more damage to the toms with overwatering than anything else though! I'm impressed by the strawberries and sweetcorn - I apsire to such things eventually. Good luck with the pond - I hear they're great for attracting toads to eat your slugs for you!
