    Just a quickie!

    Hi all, just a quick one to apologise for lack of content this last week. I am really busy on client projects and so, after just two days of it my "Thought for the day" has already become a "thought for whenever!".

    Oh well...

    Have plenty of pics from my prospering crop to upload, hopefully get a chance tonight while Mandy is out with her best mate Diane.

    Day 8: Plot have we here!

    Just a quick update.

    But an exciting one!

    Shoots! I have my first Chillis, tomatoes and lettuce poking through - and yesterday I was saying how impatient I am! I love this growing lark...

    Our official wedding photos from Andy Sutcliffe Photography

    I thought it was about time to load up some photos from our wedding a few weeks ago (5 weeks to be exact!)

    These were taken by Andy Sutcliffe, who both Mandy and I can highly recommend. It was such an amazing day, and I am so lucky to be married to such an amazing women - love you Mandy x

    Day seven: Wot Plot?

    Its only been a week I know, but I'm not the most patient of men...

    There is not a single shoot on any of my seeds I've planted, but I have a spare two minutes while I'm waiting for some images to batch re-size and so I have decided to load some more images from my recent potting earlier this week.




    But the ones my best mate Ben gave me a couple of weeks back are fairing better...



    Plus I managed to scavange some deep pots to plant some baby carrots into as well as being a proud owner of a new 4 tier mini greenhouse.

    Day one: The plot begins

    And so it finally started last night, with some cheap seed trays from Woolworths (before they went bust), a bag full of the best organic compost I could buy, some veg feed, some plastic spikes to label my crop and a pencil.

    All I needed was my seeds, and with not a lot of time to get them sowed last night (it was already 8.45pm) I opted to get my tomatoes planted, and then focus on the four varieties of chilli peppers I'm attempting this year! They include one called Hot Wax which sounds very exciting!

    And so, by 10.20pm I was finished, I job well done I hope! Having never attempted to grow such large quantities of seedlings before I'll guess we'll have to wait and see how we get on.

    I'll be keeping this story updated regularly with notes and photos, and any tips I pick up. In the next few days I should be sowing my other veg, including; carrots, spring onions, courgettes, beans, and also a blueberry bush!

    What a great day!

    Mandy and I had a fantastic day with our sister-in-law Louise and cool little nephew Laurence yesterday.

    We started with a trip to the nature centre on the Pershore road, where pebble mill used to be, it's only £3 in per adult! Randomly saw some wildtouch jewellery there, I had designed their packaging last year :)

    Then we had some lunch at Franky and Benny's, followed by a quick bit of shopping at Next and Homebase (I now have a full stock of veg seeds to start growing).

    It was great, I'll post some pics when I get into work...

    It appears I can indeed publish from my iPhone, how exciting! Well, it's 9.15am, just woke up abrubtly from a dream where I was getting a dog! If only Mandy (my wife of 3 weeks and 1 day) and I where able to look after one..

    Just waiting for all our wedding presents to arrive on the big John Lewis van, can't believe how generous all our friends and family have been, we're very lucky people, thank you all so much!

    Template code is working...

    But can I update my blog via my iphone?
