Go Green 2011...
So this year we went with Strawberries & Sunflowers...
After last year's failure with the strawberry seeds, i decided we should just start with baby plants instead of at the very beginning.
So here are our Strawberry Babies :)
We started the Sunflowers with seeds, it was sold as a child's kit for the garden... comes with pot & soil ;)
After just a week or so, we had Strawberry Flowers :D
The Sunflowers were also poking their heads out :D
Then they grew...
But i re-potted & did it badly so today out of 9 Sunflower Babies, only one has survived but that one is going strong :) Hope to have a photo of a flower soon :)
The strawberries, on the other hand, i'm happy to report have done well - we have quite a few fruits. Here are some of them:
The strawberries are done for the season but they are growing runners now & i hope to get a few so that i can carry on next year - or even grow them indoors... maybe...
So that's our Go Green for this year :)
