I like the raised bed/gravel path look and the advantage of not getting mucky for winter picking. <br />My sprouts started a bit small too, better seem to be getting better further up the stalk with more rain etc.<br />I've used Wilko seeds before, and B&Q own, not had any issues with them to be honest.<br />I've added link to your blog on mine, you can find it here http://dickysfarm.blogspot.co.uk I hope that's ok.<br />Look forward to reading more.<br />RichardDickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03148019227810388996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-65251272764881470502017-01-21T22:21:59.530+00:002017-01-21T22:21:59.530+00:00Now dont you dare stop !

I'm not doing anything new lately. I feel like I am on "hold" or something. Just nothing new going on with me. And once you are scrounging around to find something to write about the fun all goes out of it. becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-69680879392826425862017-01-20T11:07:36.225+00:002017-01-20T11:07:36.225+00:00Welcome back.

Everything is in hibernation, So are we! <br />I understand completely that you won't replace your two remaining old raised beds. That must have been very hard work last year. <br />I have decided to stick to herbs and cherry tomatoes this year. Lettuce and even lamb lettuce was a catastrophe last season.

What can I do there anyway? And it is too early to sow anything in the house too. Nice to see you back.Vesna Marichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265502263728106716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-27208343892091640262017-01-19T19:44:50.956+00:002017-01-19T19:44:50.956+00:00Pleased to find a blog from you again, quite under...Pleased to find a blog from you again, quite understand how you feel, happens to us all, will look out for your blogs as when you feel like being in touch.

I know how you feel, sometimes it seems like my garden is in charge rather than me, I do get rather overambitious in my plans. I made some adjustments to what I grow, similar to what you've decided. I'm looking forward to reading more about your garden, whenever you choose to do so, please just don't stop, you would be missed.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-22088326938963048722017-01-19T14:09:31.082+00:002017-01-19T14:09:31.082+00:00I usually grow all of my herbs from wilkos, they s...I usually grow all of my herbs from wilkos, they seem to do ok in potsSolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-37373887601703197612017-01-19T13:59:42.973+00:002017-01-19T13:59:42.973+00:00Glad that you ar back.

I also write a few together when I have an idea and save them to trickle them on if they are not date specific. For instance I have a few new for 2017 in the wings. It also helps now I post just photos on a Wednesday. Also don't be afraid to diversify away from the garden. Don't disappear completely as you would be missed!Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-83437558047444548052017-01-19T12:56:24.563+00:002017-01-19T12:56:24.563+00:00Very good to hear from you.
