Wow its april!

Well the title says everything! I have never managed to keep a dairy so the fact that 4 months have passed since I last wrote anything should come as no surprise yet I feel disappointed in myself.

Today has been a great day spent enjoying the sunshine playing in the garden. The guinea pigs (Peppa and George) which we have only had for 48 hours are already looking fatter for all of the vegetables and grass that Oliver and Amelia are feeding them!

Today was also a productive day with us finally managing to get everything sorted in our mini greenhouse. We now have re-potted tomatoes, beetroot, cabbage, cauliflowers, strawberries, peppers, chillies, peas, various salad leaves and everything else is starting to grow or is at least planted. One of these days I will get myself organised - out of all the things to forget I forgot the pots to plant, and re-pot everything in. Instead I find myself raiding the recycling bin to pull out milk bottles, toilet role middles and even easter egg boxes to replant items in. To the kids I am a mad woman but for now at least I will tell everyone that it was meant to be that way in order to cut down on waste etc.

On the plus side our herb garden out of a shoe rack looks great!
