Revisit to #KidsGrowWild

You may remember back at the beginning of June we planted some seeds, and I promised an update....

Did the eggshells work? Did they stop the little blighter slugs from eating all of our plants?


Well, erm.........not really. We don't really have anything growing there, there are a few tiny plants, but I'm not certain that any of them are from seeds we planted at all! We also have some grass, which I keep pulling out, but it's definitely attempting to revert to lawn...

However, all is not lost. If you've seen the post then you'll know we also planted quite a lot of seeds in a plastic container we had saved from inside a Lego advent calendar. These have fared far better. They were due to be planted out 2 weeks ago, but events meant we didn't get around to it, and the recent glorious sunshine and my ability to at least notice them when I'm out hanging washing and give them some water has given us this....





We have several flower buds and in a couple of days we'll have flowers, so I really don't want to disturb them now. It looks like our table will have a pretty impressive centrepiece for the rest of the Summer....

    1. Thank you - we will. I think while they're up there on the table they might even survive Boy no.4!

    1. Haha....thank you! They would have been in the ground and probably eaten already if I'd had more time, I guess they're lucky plants :D

  3. Using the tray from an advent calendar is such a good idea! x
