Seed to Plate

As you might have seen in my last post, my dad has taken to growing veg in his garden. The joys of retirement I guess.

What started as a few herbs for his cooking 3 years ago, migrated into lots of things planted last year but only one measly runner bean plant growing, to this years crop of everlasting lettuce {seriously, the more I take, the bigger they grow, I swear one of the lettuces thinks it’s a conifer the way it’s growing} hundreds of runner beans, broad beans, peas and potatoes.

I just stumbled across this site on ill seen, ill said, and i'm definately going to introduced him to it help him plan which veg he should be planting when;

How cool is this. I love how the site is designed. And I love the way you can plot out your garden for optimum growing of veg. Now if only I had a house with a garden, or a yard, or even some sort of window box…….
