My Vegetable Garden
Submitted by Michelle Oellermann on Mon, 2007-03-05 15:59.
I am in the process of making my first Vegetable Garden at North Ballaird. I thought that it might be a nice idea to plot my progress and collate the results at the end of the year. As Adam is teaching me PHP and is keen that I practice it at all times he has set me the challenge to write a digital gardening diary program which I have only just started doing. Hopefully soon you will be able to link through to this diary and see my progress with PHP as well as the Vegetable Garden.

As I am taking a little break from my PHP to finish and writte my Bookkeeping certificate exams in June I have not managed to start on the Vegetable PHP thing I was looking to do. I have however carried on with the vegetable garden and I planted my pea seedlings yesterday.

Vegetable Garden update
Well I decided to have a look at my vegetable garden a few weeks ago after a month off to study. However the only thing I found was a weed patch.My bush beans had been eaten by the slugs as had the Boer pumpkin I had planted. The spinach was looking very weedy and my onions had disappeared under a blanket of grass. The only thing that has done reasonably well are the pea and we have had some very tasty steamed peas on a few occasions.
I decided to dig up my Epicure Tatties, (the local potato variety) , only to find that each plant only had about 2 decent sizes potatoes on them and some of them had started to rot. So after 15 minutes digging I was highly distressed and gave up for the night. I am still trying to decide what the problem is, if the summer has just been to cold and wet, If I planted them to early or if I am just a really terrible gardener. Anyway, as soon as I am feeling less depressed about the whole thing I might try to find the onions under the grass blanket, but I fear I have lost them forever!
