As is always the way when I go to the garden centre I’m tempted by things that I really dont have anywhere to put. Today it was capsicums and eggplants. I’ve sown both of these from seed on numerous occassions in the past 3 months and have not even one plant to show for it. I do however have a part of the garden saved for them in which I hopefully sowed my last attempt from seed just last week. I want to have these vege this year so have resorted to buying a punnet of each with the struggle being finding a place in full sun that was not already taken.
In my largest bed there were a couple of ‘volunteer’ potatoes that had been up maybe 6 weeks. I let them be as free plants are always good but today they were the only choice of what to sacrifice for the greater capsicum good. They were small and kind of eaten by something, they looked weedy and like I said had only been up a few weeks so I wasnt expecting anything at all. Much to my pleasure I found these.
A couple of lovely meals worth! Serendipity: the art of making happy discoveries by accident. Here’s to more in the coming months. Happy Gardening.
