Two years ago our wellie wearing family moved to the rolling wet hills of Mid Wales. We decided to grow our own fruit and veg, keep bees, poultry and build our own furniture with little or no experience.



This is our journey to the good life.

More-a-planting

So I have had some set-backs this year - none of the carrots or parsnips I planted germinated. None of the beetroot, swede or perpetual spinach did either. So I had to start it all off in the greenhouse and now, what a nightmare, I have to transplant the lot...



 
Beetroot, perpetual spinach and swedes transplanted into their freshly weeded bed...

 
The two beetroot seedlings that did germinate...

 
Jacob chose to grow some carrots so here he is transplanting them...

 
Russ filled the final remaining raised bed so I planted out the butternut squash, pumpkins and patty pan squashes too...
 
The most soul-destroying thing? Actually running out of space so we are now talking about creating some beds outside of the veg cage for the more resistant crops..... who would have thought eh!?
