So my husband was like a child with a pet... he wanted the veg patch, and at first, yes, he helped with it... now it's been left up to me!

Unfortunately... and foolishly, he threw away all the seed packets so I don't know what variety anything is. He has said today that the Carrots were a "rainbow" mix of white, yellow and orange ones... which sounds great, and makes sense as I pulled one up this morning that was white!!! I just had a bit now with my salad... yumm!

Thanks! I sure did make them! Nearly all of them have broken off their sticks so I must get some stronger glue I think!

Hollie, I am very impressed by what you have created from nearly nothing and look at your garden, you should feel very proud of yourself. Cheers

Thanks so much Jack! Ive been out there again today and have pulled up the last of the early carrots and sown some new ones in some of the other gaps, Autumn King!

I have taken another picture of what it looks like today. The pumpkins are taking over!

Well done everything looks well!

Those labels are something else !!

They are lovely, from the states per chance??

I base this observation on the Radish label and the fact that your mother is from there!

BTW; Peas are nice on a plate as well

Aww thanks! Well I bought these little 3"x2" wooden shapes and big ice lolly sticks (admittidly I got it all in the states but you can get it here too) and then painted them and added the words. Some of my spelling was a bit off.

I just did a swap with someone on here some spinach seeds for a little sign!
