We planted broccoli, cauliflower, leeks,spinach and kale.
We mulched it all to stay nice and warm and hopefully we get rain to keep it nice and watered.
Meanwhile today we harvested the potatoes we had in our pots. Two pots and two spuds and we got a huge bowl full.
Not bad for something that took no looking after at all except for a little water.
You didn't even have to worry too about water as the pots had a section in the bottom which filled with water and the plants take it as needed.
The garden is in no way as large as it was when the kids were here and I was healthy, but it's enough to let us potter.
See ya
How nice! The potatoes look great. And just from two pots! Happy planting!!
ReplyDeleteI do like your great gardens, did hubby make them? I've started my winter vege growing too. I still need to pop a couple of things in so I'd better get a move on. Sue
ReplyDeleteYes maa hubby built them fro me years ago. They are made for concrete sleepers so they will never rot. Very good for your back and knees
DeleteNice looking garden beds you have there. Your potatoes did well too. They taste so much different to the bought ones :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by my blog :) As for your question, you can find the apple slicer on eBay for $2.95 plus $1.95 postage. I should have included that in my post...Here is the link

Prue has just planted her winter crop as well. Do you grow leeks from seed or seedling ?
ReplyDeleteLisa we planted seedlings this year. I don't raise my own any more it's just too much for me now.
DeleteIt is very weird celebrating Easter while Mother Earth is in full bloom! Actually i feel weird every time i celebrate any of those holidays, but they are family time!
