Growing an Organic Vegetable Garden (Part 4 - Planting the Seeds)

Late last week we had a couple of days of sunshine, so we took the opportunity to finish off the vegetable garden.

Luckily we had some "helpers". One in human form:


The other in our resident chicken, who we've named "Shaz-Licken":


We have no idea where he came from, but he's been hanging around our front door at random intervals over the last week and a bit.

Once we had topped up our garden beds with compost mix, we planted our seedlings, using the *not so secret* formula below:


1. Make a hole and drop in some clean egg shells
2. Add a couple of spoon fulls of fertiliser
3. Pop in your seedling pot, including the newspaper and the twine
4. Cover the pot with dirt and give a good water.

Unfortunately not all of our seedlings survived, but instead of raising more I just threw a couple of handfuls of various seeds into the two remaining garden beds.

Guess we'll see what happens.
