grow my own veggies

I’ve been going to the allotment twice a week to clear it. I’ve been fighting our forest of blackcurrant bushes and hopefully I’ll have my fruit area ready for two apple trees and a gooseberry bush in October. I got my husband to make some raised beds, managed to borrow a nail gun which proved incentive enough for him. Hope to have the veggie areas prepped for early spring.

Have just got an allotment just need to keep going. The plot is overgrown and i need help to get the groundwork done. So, over the weekend i shall make a huge effort with this…

Tomatoes, hot peppers, squash, pumpkin, brussel sprouts, swiss chard. All yummy.

To Mater- but you can call em maters

Hate them.

Seriously. Hate them.

I try growing vegetables, and these stupid ugly bastards decide to invade the garden.

I try distracting them with a decoy lettuce, but they don’t fall for it. They want my lettuce.
I built a moat around the lettuce, they got over.
I tried the beer trick, they just invited their friends over, got drunk and ate twice as much.

I think I have met my match.

This takes ages. Argh. If I was relying on growing my own stuff to survive, I’d have starved already…

They’re just little plants, but I just want to eat them.

While lying awake one night, I got to thinking. If I mix lots of different seeds in a pot, then one of two things could happen. 1. They mix to make a new super vegetable to earn me lots of money or 2. The strongest vegetable will grow and be declared the superior veggie.

Well after a week, something is growing. No idea what. But this is a major breakthrough for me. Anything I plant just dies or refuses to grow. I can’t believe something is actually growing, and I didn’t even have to shout at it.
