| The garden after I laid soaker hoses |
Not wanting to get all Alan Titchmarsh, but I was so excited this week when some of the seeds from my new garden started sprouting. The first heroes were the radishes, and I freely admit to doing a jig of joy when I spotted them poking their little heads through the soil. I've had this ongoing fear that nothing was going to grow, but in the last few days quite a few other specimens have come through as well.
As you can see from the picture above, I've divided each bed into squares and threaded a soaker hose through it. And me being me, I have a spreadsheet with a diagram of each bed detailing what I've planted where, what I'm planning to plant (and on what date), and when I would expect to harvest and rotate each square. I am staggering several crops as I don't want to be suddenly overwhelmed by more corn that I could shake a stick at, and I am starting some plants indoors, to be transplanted into the garden at a later date.
More from the Welsh farmer next week. In the meantime, here are some of the beauties that have started coming through.
