The veggie patch



As you might remember, we moved into our new house about three months ago.  With Spring approaching we knew we wanted to start planting our veggie garden but we had one problem - the sunniest part of the yard didn't have a garden bed.  So we called in our local landscaper (so local, he lives in our street) and asked him to build a veggie garden bed for us.  


The newly built bed looked great, and once it had soil in it we were keen to get planting!  We put in some herbs...


(how cool is pineapple sage?  It really smells like pineapple!)  and some tomatoes...


Though they look happy, they still have a long way to grow...


And there are two rows of radishes that we are expecting to pop up very soon...


We have a big order in with Diggers for some wonderful heirloom seeds, but until it arrives we continue to water and watch every day.

What are you planting at the moment?
