I'm not the most enthusiastic gardener between November and March. You'll find me pottering inside whilst everyone else is happily busying about outside painting fences, sweeping up leaves or tidying the shed. Once April arrives though, and the days are a little longer, dryer and warmer (in theory) I'll be out in my wellies, living the 'good life' and wondering if I should invest in chickens and goats!
I love planting vegetables and especially peas. I like constructing the twiggy pyramids for them to climb up. The seeds are a good size for little hands to hold and make for a happy afternoon of parent/child activity. They are so easy to grow and as soon as they start to peek through the surface there is very little to stop them climbing. No input is needed from me until harvest time 8 weeks later.
This year I went for the cottage garden look and planted sweet peas in amongst the peas and so ended up with a delicious scented tangle on each pyramid.
We've got a great little 'Giveaway'
over on facebook at the moment. The lucky winner can choose a gift
wrapped box full of surprises suitable for the age of their child.
