The Extreme Staycation

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown Growing news! We have one courgette which is hanging on for dear life. The tomatoes have refused to grow anymore, so they have been trasnplanted outside.  It's a tense moment while we see what happens to them. We have a new bean plant addition - it didn't do well in transit and is looking decidedly limp at the moment. The brussell sprouts have been thinned and planted outside and so far so good. In positive news, the carrots and peas are growing well and the potatoes may be taking over the garden!  They are THRIVING!  I'm so excited to eat our own spuds come autumn Potatoes:

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown In growing news, the surviving courgette plants have been planted outside... Let's all hold our breath to see if they make it. The tomatoes are still a bit small to be transplanted but seem to be doing ok - although I genuinely don't think they have grown at all for a couple of weeks. In very exciting growing news, the potatoes, peas and carrots planted 10 days ago are growing at a staggering rate - I swear I saw one of the potato plants grow in front of my eyes yesterday. The idea that I can actually grow my own food is, I appreciate, not new, but to me it's very exciting, such a simple pleasure!
