Much more frustration than success this year. I know a bad workman blames his tools but, seriously, it’s this ruddy compost! It’s dreadful! As soon as I put any seedling or cutting into it they immediately turn yellow then refuse to grow any further. I will never, ever buy this crap again!!!
Anyhoo, the list of ‘attempts’ so far this year:
Cucumbers. Nope. Yellowed, refused to grow, then got chomped by slugs and snails. They are no more.
Tomatoes. Erm.. yellow leaves with some sort of disease and no growth let alone any flippin’ flowers or fruit.
Lettuces. Well they kind of grew but are small, pointy and taste bitter. Are they meant to taste like that?
Sunflowers. I sowed 3 packets! All but one plant got chomped. Seriously slimy dudes, I don’t mind sharing but do you have to hog the whole lot?
Nasturtiums. Small, yellow leaves. No flowers…
Strawberries (potted in the last of my old compost, not the new crap!). SUCCESS! =D And it is so gloriously wonderful to pick them as we need them (sadly, they are rather sparse in number) and eat them fresh, juicy and full of sunshine =)Halle-flaming-whatsit!

Have just potted up my lettuce and tomato seedlings. Now I need to harden them off. Then I need to get some compost and find some big pots to grow them on in. I’m really hoping to be able to pop outside and pick myself a salad from my patio this summer! Fun, fun, fun! =D
Next to sow.. cucumber!
