Momentous occasion at the green house’s greener garden!

As mentioned before, I’ve got my herb garden started, and at the weekend, I planted some strawberries.  Well, today I finally planted something in the veg beds!  Around half a “bed” each of red onions (haven’t sourced white yet) and runner beans, and some garlic too.  Hoping I haven’t left it too late as the temperature’s dropped over the last couple of days.

I have spinach, rocket and radish seedlings growing under cover and only very slightly heated, too.  I’m going to try and transplant at least some of them as soon as I can find some wire to make some cloches with…  Don’t know if any of them will survive the cold though as I couldn’t find varieties that recommend autumn planting.  I’ve also planted some wallflowers out, as the first part of my plan to supply myself with cut flowers rather than have to buy them - which is expensive and can be polluting as it’s hard to tell if they’re UK grown and nearly impossible to source organic ones.

Apart from the strawberries, these are all new territory to me and I’m not really sure what will work.  Still it feels good to have got started again.  Looking forward to lovely fresh veg and flowers, but it’ll be a good while yet…
