Ah well, they will have to stay there, be harvested then the area replanted with what should be in there, which is carrots, lettuce and radish. I also did a small nursery area of leeks. They will actually be transplanted into bed 3 when the time comes but this little patch in bed 1 is the only spare ground for now.
Bed 2 had peas and broad beans sown and the small raised bed 4, some beetroot and spinach.
The other big mistake was in sowing a couple of round courgettes and tomatillo seeds. I thought the compost looked a little strange but it was only as I was packing everything away, I realised they had been sown in manure instead of compost - oops!
They will probably die in which case, I still have time to sow some more in the proper compost.
Honestly, what am I like.
On a different note, remember my aborted jumper, well, it was duly sewn by hand into a cushion cover. I sewed the bottom of it closed with a different colour wool so it can be unpicked for washing if necessary:
Brilliant cushion cover. Well done.

Well, couldn't waste it could I and it really fits in with my front room/lounge.
DeletePretty good for a knitting mistake! I'd never thought of stitching something which will eventually have to be unpicked in a different colour. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteI have to be honest and say it only occurred to me as I was stitching the neck and armholes shuts - what if I need to wash it? Then the thought came to me. I like thoughts like those that just pop into your head.
DeleteYou are way ahead of me with sowing seeds, at this rate I will be buying plug plants!
ReplyDeleteLove the cushion cover, a great idea sewing in a different colour. A very happy end to a mistake :-)
My husband once bout his wool jumper I the dryer and it shrank so I made that into a cushion. The only problem is everytime he picks it up he says ' I loved that jumper' I of course have to remind him it wasn't my fault!!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately this wasn't wool otherwise I would have loved to have done that. At least he has a reminder!
DeleteThat is a brilliant bit of re-purposing for the jumper!
