Ok...Just though it would be nice to let everyone know that not everything goes write all the time...after all none of us are infallible..(though the blokes may disagree!!)
Well firstly I have already mentioned that my corn didn't grow which I was really upset about especially when I see SO MANY people growing corn on their allotments and also I was told how easy it was to grow. I have decided i must have had a dud pack of seeds!!!
Then my pepper didn't grow either...I have always grown peppers even before my allotment..I usually take the seeds out of one I have bought...dry them then plant them later...I even grew them on my kitchen windowsill!! This year I went and bought seeds from the shop...planted out 12 and ...NOTHING...NADA....ZILCH!!!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO not impressed. Anyway not to be beaten by two lots of seeds I then got a huge tub (well the old green recycling box actually!!) half filled it with a good quality topsoil, you know and rich, then filled it up with a lovely compost...I put 8 seeds into this in case some didn't come...maybe I should have put more in..I have 1...yep that's right 1 (god I wish I knew how to shout numbers!) Pepper plant growing. I am going back to drying my own seeds next year!!
I also put some cucumbers in trays at home...now they all grew..problem is I was quite late putting them in and I had planted everything else out on the allotment so I kind of forget they were at the top of the garden in the little greenhouse and forgot to water them...whoopsie... well I revived them a little..one died totally so that left me with 6 which I planted out on the allotment 31st May...i will just have to see if they ever give me any cucumbers!!
Sorry no pics. to back up this one...just a rant of sorts...and now I feel much better.. :-)
