#Salad chats or lack of it on my part so far this season


 

 

Well I was hoping to do more in posting on how my salad chat has been going  but as so far have had to buy all my salad stuff rather than grow and eat what you have grown your self

I decided until the green house was up were the only real space for growing is as David is not that willing for me to bring soil into the house

 

I did try using the tilly room just by the back door but it is rather cold and nothing has grown I think it would have been alright if my heated propagator had not got damaged in the move so saving up for a new one I have 3 or 4 unheated ones but even they did not seem to work in the tilly room  ether which is a shame I even put one in my cold frame  thinking  have it double insulated it they might germinate  but no they did not  so if you been reading my blogs on both Wordpress and blogger you will of seen we have the frame up of the greenhouse up just waiting for a dry day  to see how many of the old glass we took down we can reuse or need to buy new from  GLASS SUPPLIER

 

I am going to make one bed down one side of the greenhouse for my salads and tomatoes and other quick growing  crops once the glass is in place

 

I been looking at food for free like dandelions  nettle’s that do grow in our garden but David  is not that keen to try which I think is a great shame  when  it does not cost a penny to go out into the garden and pick the chickens enjoy them  as well which adds to their diet as quick snack  during the  day
