Last weekend P and I did some gardening together. We finally got word that we will be staying in the same location next year, so I celebrated by going and buying some plants as I hadn't wanted to plant anything if we were going to need to move again in less than a year.
We bought the potting mix, dolomite lime and fertiliser and P helped scoop it into the pots. Great fun and quite therapeutic to be sitting in the warm sun handling dirt!
Then we planted some herbs, some veggies (spring onions and beetroot for this time of year) and watered them.
It was a really lovely activity to do together, and each morning P looks out the window to see how her plants are growing. Which in turn reminds me to water them!
A tip for next time: place the pots where you want them to be kept before putting in the soil. It's a lot heavier afterwards!
