but hey I'm no Felicity Kendal either....
Having grown up surrounded by fields and with a huge garden and a father who is the king of allotments, I have decided that the restrictions of city dwelling are not going to prevent the fruit of my loins from knowing where all these lovely nutritious fruit and veg. come from (and I am clinging to the hope that growing it may encourage some of it to pass their pursed lips).
We did make an enthusiastic start last year ,only to be quickly thworted by the resident slugs inviting all their mates over for a gourmet dinner.
So we made a new start last weekend by planting our freebie seeds (thanks BBC). Now all I have to hope is that my plant recognition is up to scratch because our youngest gardener was a little too enthusiastic with the seed scattering. So everything is indoors keeping warm and getting the best start.
I am under no illusion that this will replace our supermarket shop but even if we get the odd pea pod or salad leaf, then I can smile smuggly to myself before loading the children into the car and heading home to get grandad to show them how its really done...
