Miss Aine

The wild-flower seeds I planted at the start of the summer are starting to flower. Makes our garden look a bit more like a garden, and not so much of a vegetable patch!

A teeny weeny carrot... And some bloody massive courgettes! I have no idea what I'm going to do with these. And the plants are still growing loads more courgettes. I'm due to meet up with college mates this weekend so I may pick a bag of them and try pass them off as there is no way we can eat as many as are growing in the garden. Still only have green tomatoes ;(

We have a lovely new shed, The patio has been cleared and weeded, And lots of weeding done under the back wall, Getting there, but slowly. Its kinda' hot in Ireland at the moment (shouldn't complain I know!) so its hard to stay out for long. And don't want Emily to get sunstroke or sunburnt.

A bit of knitting going on at the moment but its mostly stuff I want to submit to magazines so can't show it ;( (even if I think it looks really cute!). So instead some photos of my big project for this summer - our garden This is how it looked about a week ago. Last weekend I took down the shed and then helped DH to put up a new one. And did quite a bit of weeding. So must take new photos to show it in its splendour now (just can't this evening as its raining). And this little patch is my vegetable patch. I've never grown any before so not really sure how it will turn out. I tend to kill all houseplants but have a better track record with outdoor plants. I've planted tomatoes, peppers, courgette, green bean and lettuce. So far they're doing okay and I've even used the lettuce for salads. Updates will follow throughout the summer! (01.06.10 - weird comment left for this post. I'm not going anywhere, just no knitting i can show at the moment. And that...
