Introduction

This is the story of Charlie, Esther and our 6 children (aka the minions)'s adventures in gardening.

Having so many mouths to feed, and so much slave labour on tap, we decided that growing vegetables would be a good plan. One year later we have had some great successes including a glut of runner beans (I don't think we'll ever get the boys to eat runner beans again)..and some total disasters (our poor dearly departed chickens) but we are still having fun and trying out new things. Follow our trials and tribulations as we turn from complete novices into, eventually, with luck, competent gardeners.
