We've made more progress in the garden over the last few weeks - thanks this time to L.'s parents. During their visit, we managed to get some of the veggies planted.
The other main veg bed is ready for planting (if it ever stops raining!)
And, most excitingly for me, the alpines and succulents have nestled in.
We, ehem, might have over estimated how many plants we'd need for the little rock garden, so I have sadly been forced to plant another alpine/succulent garden that I can admire from the comfort of the lean-to.
And speaking of the lean-to, it's now filled with seedlings...most of them pepper seedlings (perhaps we went a little overboard...). As you can see from the first photo, we've had to resort to advance cat-protection measures.
After the great slug feast of 2011, we've decided the lettuces are probably safer inside.
They seem happy enough in the window sill, though I'm a little afraid the slugs have heard rumours of the sweet delicacies as I've found not one, but three intrepid slugs in the house in the past few days.
And finally, the little squawker is also growing like crazy - so much so that I'm a little worried about how long his 0-3 month clothes will fit!
