The Kiss Principal.

I tripped and fell awkwardly at work and with a combination of a painful knee, a less than happy shoulder and a few other little niggles I wasn't in the mood for gardening.

But I'm on the mend and ready to get back into it.

Today I've planted 5 salad veggies that you can get quickly get started two different ways.

Planting first as micro-greens and at the same time direct sowing ensuring a long harvest period.

Just a light sprinkling of rain about so I put in three small rows of Rocket.

No fancy soil preparation. I did add a few decent scoops of Searls 5 in 1 and worked it gently into the top few inches of soil though.

Watered them in with some super soil wetter because of the soil and the 5 in 1 being on the dry side of things.

Hopefully, the rain does the rest.

This morning I had five minutes up my sleeve before I had to leave for work so I ran around and grabbed a handful of weeds and threw them into the compost.

Always satisfying when I can do that.
