Seedling happiness


OH's mate has taken over a plot further down the path. He works at a pub and brings huge amounts of compostable veg and fruit peelings in his bike trailer to start up his compost heap. He's on his own clearing the plot but still manages to grow huge amounts of parsley, some seedlings of which he kindly gives to us for free.

OH also had a stroke of luck at the garden centre. His eyes alighted on a bar of beetroot seedlings, 12 for £1.68 or something. It turns out that there were in fact 72 seedlings, not just 12. That was a pretty spectacular deal. Most of them survive the planting out and make several rows.
