My first chilli seedlings! Whereas I usually wait until Maria, my mother-in-law, comes round and sorts out the garden, laden with various goodies for me to grow such as strawberries, herbs, tomatoes and chillies, this year i decided to have a go myself...and the results so far have been quite promising. Apart from my strawberries which failed to germinate, I have the beginnings of lettuces (a mixed variety you know!), baby carrots, cayenne and jalepeno chillies. As the weather was so good today I transplanted the chillies into larger pots, planted some spring onions, garlic, some more tomatoes seeds and then helped the children to plant 3 varieties of sunflower! I feel ever so slightly virtuous, but that's about the limit to my gardening abilities....I'll be waiting for Maria to tackle the weeds that have sprung up all over the place :-)

Now, if that doesn't explain the growth of french fries on miss jasmine! The hat is there to keep them down? I agree, it wasn't that fetching, and probably a little bit greasy too!
