PAULS VEG GROWING



















Paul has been growing veg for a couple of years now, but this year was special as the new addition to the garden was his new Greenhouse. It has 3 auto roof vents and slat ventilation.

All kitted out with staging and seed racks. He installed an electric supply to it for the heated propagators, fan heater and most importantly his radio to listen to Football. Oh and a massive strip light big enough to light up the whole street!!!


He started sowing seeds as early as February.


I bought most of the seeds from Ebay, it is far cheaper than anywhere else. In fact I had an addiction to buying seeds, so Paul and Jade banned me from buying any more. ( I KNOW DIFFERENT)


We have pots of all shapes and sizes everywhere, Bill & Ben would have a field day!!!


After months of hard work, sowing, transplanting and re-potting, we see some well nurtured plants looking mighty healthy.


So far he has grown:


  • tomatoes
  • potatoes
  • garlic
  • sweet corn
  • carrots
  • onions
  • spring onions
  • lettus all kinds
  • radish
  • courgettes
