am very pleased with myself.
over the past few weeks I have

Dug up some garden.

Built (out of wood!) a raised bed area, using a saw and a spirit level too. My garden slopes crazily in 2 drections at once so no mean feat.

Filled said beds with earth and compost.

and today have planted my first ever seedlings in it.

I have

courgettes

french beans (and a beanpole wigwam)

Sweet Peas

Interesting gourdes

Carrots

Lettuce

Rockett

and will have a pumpkin or 2 when they are big enough to go out.

i also have 8 peppers and 6 tomatoes

all grown by my own fair hands from leetle seeds.
I feel like i am living in the good life.

I'd like a goat next.

Your goat would destroy that in 45 minutes, don't do it.

And please put a bra on, I'm trying to eat blancmange and you're putting me orf.

i got mine from tesco

and i was nude at the time

NigellaTheUndomesticGoddess · 24/05/2008 18:53

well did have a bra on while digging - they'd have got a bit muddy if i hadn't.
how about a goose?

That will destroy your plants too.

NigellaTheUndomesticGoddess · 24/05/2008 19:00

No.

Anything with a digestive system will eat those little plants! They aren't going to go for dried animal feed and dandelions if there are baby courgettes, rocket and tomaotes on offer!

that shows how often you go to tesco nude

NigellaTheUndomesticGoddess · 24/05/2008 19:03

I used scafolding planks. treated them with fence preserver. nailed them in to a square with a cross piece in the middle making 4 beds.
dug out a square the same size then sunk the square in it. it was a bit tricky because like i said my garden isn't flat so one end is level with the lawn - the other sticks up - a bit like a terrace.
am quite smugly pleased.
