My garden adventures part 3 ;)
Well getting bored again, I have strawberries growing, along with broccoli, leeks, tomatoes, lettuce and carrots.
I made the boxes for the produce in the tunnel out of a few old bits of furniture I had saved for a 'special' project.

I thought it was about time I did something with the timber lying around the place and the small pieces of rope I bought previously, (thinking I could plait them for my decking!)
So below is what I came up with, in time for Father's day. I did have to buy a pot of varnish but everything else I already had! I even put up a page on a popular social networking site showcasing my designs(have done few personal ones too.)

My strawberries are going mental now, there is NO stopping the growth spurt they have had! And my garden is really coming into it's own now! It is well worth all the work when you sit back on a sunny day and look around at what you have created!
My head is buzzing with ideas for more projects!!!

If anybody is local to Enniscorthy I actually have a few trays of Nasturtium seedlings which are well established that can be collected for free, I went a bit mad ! I have used some in my hanging baskets and filled them up wonderfully The beauty is you will have triple the amount next year and so on..... And seeds to pass on at the end of the Summer too!
