I seem to be spending most of my life potting on at the moment! The mini greenhouse is officially full, the windowsills are full and the patio is filling up fast. That is even without mentioning the vast amount of plants that Marc has at his house, I don't think he has a surface free in his greenhouse or on his windowsills either (far bigger than mine with proper glass and everything, the greenhouse that is...).

Now the worry is 'have we sown enough...' it is hard to tell, especially as a lottie is such a vast amount of space compared to our greenhouses and patios. So far I have counted in my little greenhouse and patio alone; 27 healthy runner bean (french, traditional etc) plants all hardening off and ready to go into the ground, 8 courgettes a lot of various pumpkins & squashes, 20 Swiss chard, 15 perpetual spinach, onions, Italian black kale, broad beans...

I think we are getting there and the big plant off begins on Sunday (weather permitting). Hopefully the fear of frost is now minimal...

I was watching Gardeners World on Friday and I see they have a fab new campaign called 'Dig In'. It is rather good, and novice gardener Radio 1 DJ Sara Cox is blogging her progress on growing veg.

After 4 years I still feel a novice so it's good to read about other people who are also starting on the path to veg growing enlightenment :)
