Never Ending Summer
It’s amazing just how long summer, or for us gardeners, the growing season lasts. My school is next to a farm and whereas back home they’d be tidying up and ploughing the fields ready for the spring, here though it’s row after row of new plants, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes and the list goes on. Getting the growing bug, I’ve invested in a truckload of soil, some sacks of compost and a few packets of seeds from Cosmea Gardens and I’m going to see just how long I can make summer last. I’ll be updating you in the coming weeks and months to make you all jealous as I crop tomatoes in November and pick fresh crisp lettuce at Christmas. I’m going to grow some of the more exotic bedding plants as well so not only will I have delicious freshly picked veg but also a beautiful garden in which to eat them!
