We had a lovely Christmas and we're now looking forward to a week of having 'Dad' at home.
My mum suggested I write this post, to document my husbands 'cleverness' in the garden : ).
Using old weatherboards he built a planter box in an un-used part of our garden. The bowling club next door to us re-laid their green after the quakes so they gave away the old soil. J must've gone there and back 700 times with his wheelbarrow to fill it with soil.
The garden sits next to the garage and gets lots of sun ( but today it's raining). We have tomatoes, pumpkin and watermelon growing as well as sunflowers and some other flowers he told me about but I've forgotten their names. I love the mini glasshouse he made using some old glass cupboard doors and the planting table he's made from bits we had around.
In the back garden we're growing potatoes ( which were yum for our xmas eve dinner), courgettes, corn, beetroot and onions.

Wow how good does your veg garden look. Our pumpkin seedlings are coming along nicely, I cant wait for them to be a big as your plants.
