After a period of quiet here (and manic else where!) we finally got round to addressing the desire to growing and tending various plants and flowers. This year I am trying out sweet pepper, rocket and cucumber. I have been told that all three are relatively easy to grow and take care of, so we’ll see how it goes! Along side the new contenders, I planted tomatoes (cherry) and courgettes, but what I am more excited by is this: Last year I saved some dwarf beans from our plants and froze them. This year I thought I would try planting them, but found out from Joan that in order for this to be successful, they needed to have dried out before freezing.However, I can not for the life of me remember if I had let them dry or not, so it will be interesting to see if they grow.
Joan and I have planted our beans at the same time, so if hers begin to grow and mine stay quite dorment, then I know that they hadn’t been dried out (or I just treated them badly o.o.. though I’m hoping that’s not the case!). Time will tell and in the meantime, they sit comfortably on my window sill!
