Pot grown Salad leave

[Hollie the Wollie]

I was given a free seed packet on a magazine, so spinkled them in a container at the end of April and here's the progress:

Within 7 days of sowing:


One week later (3 weeks old)


Two weeks later (at 5 weeks old)


We're having leaves everyday for lunch and most evening meals too! They just keep on growing!

Gosh Hollie, those salad leaves look fab!!

[Hollie the Wollie]

Thanks! Do you like my little sign?!

[Shaun]

it looks like you have opened a packet of floret in to a garden pot lol

[Hollie the Wollie]

I know! But I promise I didn't. But that has what it's been like every day, going out onto the patio in the morning getting leaves for the sandwiches and then to go with a jacket potato in the evening... I feel so rural. ha!

I sure did! I did some little ones that are just the ice-lolly stick version. I use some stamping letters for the words, they are not hand written!

I looked for a long time to find some nice signs but the nice ones were very expensive! This way I paint them myself and although now I know what is planted where, without them at first I would have been easily confused. (which isn't hard I don't think!)

Hi Hollie, if you decide to turn your sign making into a little 'cottage' business for some discerning clientele (the members and guests of Vegetable Gardens! ) then you are welcome to post a signature link as an advert. I really do like them!!

Hollie, just 2 questions. What size is the nameplate? And, do you promise to spell Radish with only 1 D. The important thing though is the size of the nameplate.

[Hollie the Wollie]

I like to be generous with my consonants!!!

They little signs are maybe 3"x2" at the most!

Pm me with a price and I`ll give you an order.
