Okay so my "Garden", is growing ! My garden is based for on trying to grow some lovely veggies for my beautiful guinea pigs ! Thanks to some help from Floydie i've got a little stash waiting to be planted and so over the next week or so i'm going to be planting a few more bits and pieces to expand on my sorry excuse for a garden ! I'm so happy to have seen some of my parsley coming through the soil in my pot and my tomatoes seem to be growing every time i blink ! Peekaboo Parsley !  My veggies i'm growing in a little collection, of tomatoes and parsley.  |

The tomatoes are well away Twiams and parsley is tricky to germinate, so you have some good basics there.

I now have 6 little sprouting parsley bits in that little pot !
I think it's because of all of that great weather !
I've repotted the larger of the two tomato plants into a massive pot as well as planted a few more bits and pieces !
Fingers crossed the lovely weather continues and helps my plants grow !

Repotted tomatoes are doing amazing but I need some bamboo to keep them up straight ones a lot bigger than the other but it's been repoted the longest and is in a bigger pot.  Parsley is now doing AMAZING and should probably be repoted soon  And outside the sunflower mix seeds are starting to come through too just when I lost hope (:  |

I will be different Floydie. I would put some in the ground and leave some in the pot. There are plenty there. I say this because there will be parsley all through the winter if you do this. My seed has not germinated outside yet, but I still have fresh parsley which was planted last year.

My peppers have even decided to pop out now !!!  everything is starting to take shape so me and the pigs are very happy. I think i'm going to leave the parsley a little longer as more and more is growing everyday and then when i fill the pot i will separate into indoor and outdoor and see which grows best ! just as an experiment ! |

I still like to experiment and I have been gardening for years. Good for you Twiams.

Thought i'd update although little has changed and things are in need of repotting when i get the time !  Left to right - Tomato plant, this one has grown very little compared to the other as in a smaller pot but yet has it's first little green tomato on it as spotted today ! Sunflowers, making great progress Tomato plant, has got massive and moved outside along with the other two plants although living under shelter due to the rain and wind !  Parsley and pepper plants all ready for repotting when i can find a good pot that is ! |

You have got the gardening bug Twiams. Do you read any gardening mags? I say this because sometimes their free seeds are useful and some can be planted now for flowering next year.

Umm, i don't know, i tend to use the internet for information, i don't think i should be collecting any more seeds though, i have a whole box just waiting to be planted, but i never seem to have the time in my day also i'm wary about whens best to plant them etc. |
