I am getting myself sorted for my garden this year, after last year I had a great time growing a few flowers but this year will be lot harder as I am adding Vegetables to my list. I am excited about hopefully being able to eat what I grow, imagine that making a meal and being able to say I grew that.
Last year I started my garden a little late, this year I am ready to start planting seeds. This year I am considering removing the table and have different parts of the garden for different plants. Flowers , Vegetables and Salad, this is going to take up so much of my time and I can't wait for it to begin.
I have been collecting pots from grapes, kiwis etc and toilet roll/kitchen towel holders. These are all going to help me keep on top of whats growing. I have been buying seeds in preparation, I want to have all my choices ready. Here is a small amount of the pots and rolls I have just to give you an idea of how I will be starting my plants growing, plus Mika had to check them out.
These are ideal as they have holes at the bottom plus deep enough to stand the rolls to plant carrots, radishes and peppers, then once they are strong enough I can transfer the roll to the pot. I will be having individual pots for each item.
I will need to start the growing in my spare room, a space I can keep all my plants in one space so I can keep an eye on them. Then I need to get the garden done, make a plan on what is going where plus need to do some research on where is best to position them, how deep to plant them and anything else they may need food wise to help get the best from them.
I got a lot of advice from my friends on here so may be needing your help again, any advice will be gratefully received.
Thank you @son-of-satire

Yeah, my spare room is no longer a spare room. It's the Golden D central! Office with some plants growing, herbs in the window, a large rolling tool box, TV, my crafts... sofa sleeper... All I need is a mini-fridge and I could stay in here forever!
Now that sounds a great idea, I am going to buy a mini fridge lol I am grabbing the spare room before hubby realises :)
