9 anda half weeks - due in first week of June

So it's nine and a half weeks and what has happened so far.
I no longer keep you posted about the minute details of daily events (but that doesn't mean I'm not a bore in real life)

New Zealand yams shot up
Mushrooms hopped from pot to pot
Herbs are thirsty and rocket trickier than I had hoped for
The visit to edible forest roof garden in Reading (up on RISC centre) inspired me to buy lemon balm  plus mint (£3)
Planting two courgettes - one sprouted in propagator lidded pot outside (note:  flourished and got eaten by whichever insect/slug got there)
Planning of cheap garden beds not so expensive - so ended up buying bags for life, and used the seeds to help retain moisture (note: this did actually seem to attract slugs even more - and nothing really survived)

Spanish garlic healthy - english garlic sprouted.
Slugs don't seem to like marigolds, and garlic

Cat seems to like digging up the beds including the garlic
Cat is not put off by coffee

Planted taytos, a bamboo holder for sweet peas, bedded one alpine strawberry, lots of garlic and some marigold strands from the lady

Everything out and planted

Learnt:
Try 6 things not thirty
resist urge to buy everything

Rose bush looked like it was going to bloom
Weeds doing well

Strawberry and alpine strawberry flowered (violets too)

So:

1. dahlias - eaten
2. inca berries - eaten and stunted - of the seven plants 4 survived
3. council plant - eaten
4. new zealand yam - shot up
5. nasturtiums - most shot up
6. sweet peas - most shot up after long time
7. potatoes - no news 
8. courgette seeds - sprouted
9. wildflowers - nothing
10. blackcurrants - dead
11. alpine strawberries - flowering
12. strawberries - flowering
13. camomile teabag - growing well (one that I watered soil before adding bag and leaving to dry worked, the one that I watered immediately didn't) 
14. chillis - seem to be growing well
15. garlic - sprouting
16. rocket - seemed to do well then stunted
17. coriander - doing well
18. herbs - thyme (one season only), 
19. choc mint, (one season only)
20. sage,(one season only)
21. parsley (one season only)
22. carrots
23. mint - going crazy
24. lemon balm
25. marigolds (potted, seeds into seedling pots in mini-outdoor propagator, plus seed sticks into ground
26. mushrooms
27. spanish garlic
28. wild garlic
29. violets
30. blue flowered things with the strawberries

Roses and dandelions were already there

Rough costs: yet more pots, yet more compost, yet more 'erbs, mint, more garlic, some taytos, carrots (mini-carrots), water retentions capsules, jamie's natural fertiliser for food plants. = 40 quid

Rough running total: 185+ 40
