Making the most of the beautiful weather

Just thought I'd put a progess photo up of my little veggie bed that I planted out last weekend. I can't believe just how much it's grown in one short week.(Check out my last post to see what I mean!) We even managed a few salad leaves out of it yesterday afternoon. It's been so hot and sunny I'm glad I'm on holiday this week to make the most of the weather and sit in the all to rare sunshine and warmth while the goings good.

Step back Alan Titchmarsh!

I'm so excited my husband made me a raised bed to plant some veggies. So here's some pics of work in progess and after we'd been to the local garden centre and bought some plants to fill it up with. I'm knackered now been out in the garden since before 9am this morning then off to the garden centre and back to plant it all up. Now I've got to hope it all grows and the slugs and snails don't think ah fresh dinner!!!
I'm growing carrots, beetroot, sweetcorn, lettuce 3 types, tomatoes, cucumber, courgette, butternut squash plus some herbs from seeds. I'm also having a go at growing from seed some bedding plants to try and save a bit of money. I'm growing Livingston daisies which I did really well with last year and they are going really well so far. The snails got in to my growhouse and ate my sweet basil seedlings so I'll have to resow them. I'm also growing some sweetpea from seed which are just beginning to pop up through the soil.
I never thought that I'd ever be green fingered or even enjoy it but I am soooo much!

The worlds biggest courgette!!!!!?

Now check this beast out! When I got back from work on Sunday evening my husband said I've got a surprise for you? Now that's usually means trouble (in a good way!) so I said 'What?' and he handed me this monster! so I had to take a photo for my blog just to make you all have a good giggle this morning. I've not taken most notice of what my courgette plant has been doing over the last couple weeks and this is what it's been up to World demination I think! Just a bit scared to go out in the garden now in case the frogs have been eating the courgettes and have grown this big as well! Help me!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweetpeas ahh pretty!!!!

Check out these beauties! My garden is quite full of colour this autumn, keep that sun shining please.

My Livingstone daisies are just to pretty

I just couldn't resist taking another photo of my Livingstone daisies today, the sun was shining and these just looked so beautiful. The sun's gone in now and they've all closed up again, nature is so clever!

I grew these from seed...........

Livingstone daisies.

Check these babies out! I grew these from seed and they flowered today in the beautiful bright sunshine, don't you just love it. They remind me of being a small child in my Nan's back garden playing with the garden ornaments and my dolls house which my grandparents had built and furnished for me. Ah happy happy memories.
