I’m attempting a little “grow my own” this year. So far I’ve dug over the plant bed and removed any weeds and stones. Its only a small plant bed so maybe a little cramped when complete.
The bed has had some of the weed stopping fabric installed as a base about 1-2′ down. I’ve mixed in some manure and compost into the soil and begunthe planting.
So far planted are 6 leek plants at the far left, and at the far right a small Grany Smith apple tree. Almost ready for planting are six pea plants (I’ll need to make a wigwam thing for these) and a rosemary shrub (this will probably just be in a seperate pot).
I’ve 8 other plants germinating or whatever its called indoors on a windowsill. These are Rocket, Mixed Salad leaves, Pak Choi, Cucumber, Chillis, Peppers, Tomatoes and somethin else tt escapes me right now. I’m hoping there’ll be enough room for all of them, if not, I’ll just pick the most likely to flourish, and go from there.

Photo’s to follow.


Storm DamageAs storms sweep across the UK, Johanna devastation seems to know no bounds. These ordinary solar garden lamps felt the brunt last night.

All four once stood proud and upright, glowing for a few hours after dusk following a days worth of collecting power, now only one remains. While its fallen comrades lay dormant unable to collect light on their sides, it stands fast, desperately attempting to light more then the few centimeters that surrounds it.

It will now glow alone, providing not nearly enough light for anything useful.

[although this destruction is probably not comparable to some of the damage that was been caused, its all I noticed within Trefforest]
