I am a gardener!

I never thought that I would be the green fingered type. I love the outdoors and being out in the garden, but I'm not the sort of person who likes to maintain a garden. However, on this journey to skimp and save I thought I would dabble in the world of gardening and see if my fingers are green after all!

Here is my first project. Please note I am not trying anything to challenging to start with! 
I bought some tomato seeds from Aldi a few months ago. They sat in the packet on my windowsill for a while until I realised they were meant to be planted by the end of March, oops! I found an old seedplanter/plant pot/insert correct term here/ and popped a couple of seeds into the compost we had that was stored in the garage from our previous house owners. I watered them and then left them on the windowsill in the porch with no high hopes. Imagine my surprise when I glanced at them in passing today and saw 7 teeny sproutings!! I feel like a Mother again and I do hope that they will continue to grow in to some lovely big tomato plants. I can't wait to eat something that I have grown from a little seed.

Now comes the hard bit - keeping them alive. I will keep you up to date with their progress. (imagine proud mummy posting lots of pictures of their newborn - that will be me) 

Thanks for reading
