We did bring a variety of seeds with us from the UK and I have had successes and failures. The difficult part is germinating as in the early spring months although the temperature can be high in the daytime it does plummet at night so germination can be tricky. We recently dismantled a bird aviary attached to the garden shed which we intend at a later date to renovate into a greenhouse which will help to germinate. Most seedling plants can be bought very cheaply at local garden stores so plants such as tomatoes are better bought already as seedlings.
I did plant some peas straight into the garden in April then replanted them into one of the new veggie beds and are now picking them and have to say they are delicious !!!!
Also planted are runner beans, beetroot, onions, strawberries, peppers, courgettes, parsnips, leeks, lettuce and cucumbers and, of course, tomatoes. The tomatoes are doing excellent and we have about 15 tomatoes already on the plants. We grew a batch of onions through the winter and are happily munching our way through those. We reaped about 4 kilos and delicious they are - so fresh - nothing like the ones from the supermarket!
Can't show you the strawberries as I have only had 6 as yet and have already eaten those !!!!
