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!
