A Robin and a Pig

I bought some Organic carrot seeds on the way back from Rosie's on Sunday afternoon. When I got home, I raked over the patch again to make a seed bed for them and watered it with some seaweed fertiliser solution. I'll probably start sowing them in a week or so. Once I'd finished raking, my little Robin friend flew down to eat some worms I'd dragged up. He's been down before, but this time he came really close. No fear.


After raking, I dug drills for my first two spuds which have been chitting in the shed. One had really long roots, but few shoots, the other, longish shoots, but few roots. It'll be interesting to see which sprouts quicker, although I'm not too sure which one was which now.

I then thinned out my radish shoots which survived the frost and have got a little bigger.

Finally I filled some yoghurt pots with compost and put some tomato and sprout seeds in, before leaving them on a tray in the bathroom. Following instructions in my book, I placed brown paper over them and put them in a plastic bag (instead of under glass). No sign of life so far (Weds) so not sure if they're not wet/hot enough or just slow. Will have to see...

By the way, when I went for a walk with Rosie earlier in the day, we made friends with this huge pig!
