Happy Days
« on: August 12, 2009, 19:17 »
4 months ago, I spent a day building raised beds for our debut in the world of gyo. Weve plundered books, websites (thanks folks!) and green fingered friends for info and tips.
 :mellow: Weve pricked out carrots (yes, I know now).
 :( Weve not hardened off corn (we know that now too).
 >:( Weve had raab bolt (another lesson learned).
However:
 ;) weve turned in 5 buckets of salad potatoes,
 :happy: been picking lettuce leaves for 10 weeks,
 :) had strawberries for pudding at least 3 times,
 :D are watching sprouts, pumpkins, peppers and aubergines coming along
 :lol: and (nicest of all) today watched our 5 year old pull a carrot the size of his head!! (Id post a pic, but it was eaten 5 mins later!) - who said you dont prick them out?! (no - before you ask, Im not doing it again!!)
Its not all been plain sailing, but its been good fun for all of us (our 1 year old has just planted our Christmas spuds!).

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has helped out with advice!! Much appreciated.
