Just a quick mention and link to the Fork’n Monkey Blog Awards of which I was anonymously nominated for 2 of the categories - Proud Parent award (for my little seedlings) and the Green Fingers award. Check out the other nominees here at the Fork’n Monkey blog awards.
The results will be posted on Tuesday but whatever the outcome I’m glad that my blog has become a part of a blogging award ceremony.
Right I’m off to the Essex Garden Show in Brentwood tomorrow and hopefully the weather should hold as cloudy. No doubt the temptation of rows and rows of lovely plants will get the better of me and I will be back home with a boot full!

Just a quick message, I sowed my very first seeds in my newly built timber raised beds on 10th April 2007 which was 1 year ago!
I’m hoping for an even better crop this year and look forward to a new set of experiences when I try growing different vegetables like butternut squash, beetroot, mange tout, parsnip, savoy cabbage and broccoli.
Heres my very first blog post about seed sowing on my 3 raised plots on 10.04.2007: Blog Posting 10.04.07.

it is sometimes a risky strategy to start sowing this early in February due to there possibly being more frosts before March. How true so please take note!
I felt really sorry for my first sowings of seeds in the mini greenhouse as there has been frosts most nights. So sorry I brought them into the house and put them on a windowsill above a radiator. (more…)

I would just like to say a big thanks to Celia Brooks Brown for quoting my veggy blog website link on her article on The Times Online newspaper on 25 October 2007. I will be following her blog with interest from now on and definately trying some of her wholesome winter recipes as well.
