Blossoming

Well it looks like our first foray into GYO has not been a complete failure! Despite some very late frosts and abysmal weather (frequently referred to by me as the month of FebruMay) our little pots have managed to survive and are now veritably exploding! Even since these photos were taken a couple of weeks ago (sorry) the tomato plants are now halfway up those canes and the courgette plant's growth can almost be seen with the naked eye!

We were worried that the sweet peppers (second from bottom) had failed to germinate altogether, as not even a single bud was seen until just recently. The salad leaves (bottom), however are doing so well that His Lordship moved them to our trough planter to give them more room. Fortunately they survived the ordeal!

Oh, and no the strawberries (top) have not had a miraculous growth, His Lordship decided the puny ones we bought were not doing well enough, so he got some more mature plants to add to our hanging baskets. We had our very first (well, the only one anywhere near ripe enough) home-grown strawberry this morning between us, and it has definitely given me the taste for more!
