Yesterday I was bemoaning the irony of having watered my potted vegetable plot, mere minutes before it started to rain. This little pea plant’s about three inches tall, and seems to be quite efficient at collecting all those tiny little drops!
This morning I was feeling thoroughly miserable and germy and sorry for myself, and needed to find something to cheer me up. I came outside and this tiny bean was waiting for me.
I’ve grown vegetables before, but I usually cheat and buy them as little plants from the garden centre. Thanks to Sarah over at Skycarrots, who very generously gave me a whole bunch of seeds, this year I’ve started from scratch. It’s so exciting seeing how each little plant grows. I certainly never expected this one to pop up from the ground overnight, complete with bean still attached!
I have a lot to learn about growing my own fruit and vegetables, but I’m really looking forward to it.
