Anyway the top one shows my small raised bed and shows my attempts of year one, not very successful but I am learning that as well and I have had a few peas, but next year I will be growing dwarf beans and peas again as they seem to grow ok and not carrots or beetroot as they havent grown very well at all and I think I will be pulling them up soon as they are bolting and theres nothing growing underneath -LOL
The bottom photo shows my attempts at container growing, leeks and toms not sure what is happening with the toms they seem to be flowering but as yet I cant seem to see any toms and the leeks went in very late but I will wait and see with them, so thats it my first attempt. I wont be self sufficient this year!!!!!
Anyway my frugalling goes on. I have tried the halogen that was my daughters wedding present with mixed results, I can boil eggs, cook toast but the cake was a complete disaster. Anyway I have tried toad in the hole today and although burnt on top it was fine, but I tried cooking roast pots at the same time and they weernt quite cooked enough, so I will get it correct next time by putting the pots above the toad. I have cooked another toad as well (as I had enough mixture) and that has turned out a lot better, anyway I will keep trying and I havent written off making cakes in it just yet.
I watched the opening ceremony last night and didnt we do well - I really enjoyed it although I must admit I didnt understand all of it, thought Mr Bean was hilarious!!!!
As I have been on my day off I have had the TV on whilst knitting and watching the games but Im getting a bbit fed up now and have turned it off for a bit. Back at work tomorrow so I wont be in bed late tonight as I have to get up at 4.45
So I wil lgo now and carry on knitting for a bit, the jumper is for me to wear this winter and after I have finished it I will have to finish my daughters blanket and sort out a few bits and pieces for Xmas.
