in the garden

garden greens... a brussels sprouts stalk is still throwing up leaves and trying to flower... I keep eating them... lol... and there is a handful of american hedge garlic... which has been self seeding in the garden for years. lovely fresh eggs from a freind, I used the two big brown eggs and made a fry up with french bread and greens for my lunch. 
 sitting in my pyjamas, with the cat, a coffee and reading a gardening book... Alan Titchmarsh's Kitchen Gardener. I went out to sit in the greenhouse but it was so warm we ended up just chilling outside.
aquired a coffee table to use as a low bench in the greenhouse, its got a metal frame so should be strong enough to have a few plants on it... the chair will come out soon so I can start planting up. 
one bed is ready to be seeded... plans for this one is to use the pallet collar with a shower door over it and direct sow carrots, turnips and beetroot. I could have done that today.. but chose to chill with the cat instead.
in the house I am eating lettuce leaves, sown about a month ago, and have cherry tomatoes about an inch high on the window sill, and fat tomatoes in the boiler cupboard waiting to sprout. not organised at all with buying seeds... I might be having a pot luck year with whatever I have left over... which is  a lot because I over buy when I am full of enthusiasm....
