Lurpak Grow your own

I've been gathering the Lurpak Grow your own from Jekka Herb Farm
But I have only been able to get the Basil and Dill ones.
So two weeks ago I decided to have ago at grow them.

I have tryed peat pellets before and not had a greatest of luck.
So this was going to interesting.

I pick the dill ones...  On the back of the cardboard, is telling you what to do..  First soak the pellets for two hours,  I ended up leaving it a while longer.



Then find a pot to put it into.. 
I saved my Lurpak tub and put holes in it..
Once the soil was ready I poped it into the tub and put it in the greenhouse.


This is how it looked today!!



New Vistors


The last few weeks, I have had a new lot of visitors to the garden.

It started with House Sparrow's, some of the youngster
were coming in and getting the bugs and spiders.


 














Then I started putting wild bird food out for them.
The word must of got back to their parents. Because not long after
Mummy and Daddy sparrow started coming in to get some.

Sorry He wont stay put when I try to get picture of
him outside!!

For some reason I've been getting a Magpie coming and sitting on the bathroom roof.
"We all know the saying about them"
The Magpie as been picking on one of my cats (picture above of the cat in question)
Yep I've got cat's!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then I had a new cat visited. (picture above) Don't worrie
NO birds were in the garden at the time!!


Growing My Own Fruit And Salad

At the start of May my strawberry started to appear. 
The down side is I have only got 
about five plants, I suppose it's better than having none.

Picture below

 Been wondering is there a dandelion 
in with them?
Let me know what you think? :-)

I'm not sure if Morrisons
know what tumbling (tiny tim) tomato's are!!!



I know they don't look very health.

I'm sad to sad I never got my Lollo Rollo. But I did get
enough lettuce and rocket to share with the family.

I have to confess I've been keeping some think from you all.
I've been growing other tomato's and Chilli's and peppers
