The rocket is going great! This is the lot that has just self seeded from the last plants. I like easy gardening!
While I work out the best way to do the raised beds in the new patch, I got in today to the main veggie patch to sort out a few garden beds.
First, the pumpkin patch.
I pulled apart two of the straw bales that I conditioned but didn’t really plant anything in… I moved the broccoli from one since it was going rather slowly.
Feeding the soil! Lots of lovely worms in it and its all breaking down beautifully. Should help hold back the weeds in spring too.
Onion and leek patch – slow but still sitting up nicely.
I’ve left the silverbeet in (chard) as I want to see if I can get some new seed.
The ravens are still going mad out there – but today I got extra entertainment in the form of the beautiful Black Cockatoos! They were flying overhead and mucking about in the trees yelling their heads off about something!
I keep apologising to them all about taking their lovely trees away!
Slowly getting all the tomatoes out. Untying all the string is the annoying bit. I could cut them but I am being frugal – will run them through the wash and use next season.
The tomatoes went to the chooks. They are going ‘funny’ as they ripen and they don’t taste great anymore. Giving up.
I didn’t mulch this bed, but weeded and pulled out the snow peas at the end of the plot.
I will be pleased when the tree is done then I will have a safe place to put up my garden shed which means all my garden stuff IN ONE PLACE!!
The pear tree got a bit of a prune – just the bits that stuck out making it hard for me to walk by.
Somebody needs a wing clipping!! She flies over the pallet fence, trots around the front yard and then into the garden via the top gate (which we are learning to keep shut now)
No mystery where the tops of my lettuce have gone!!
I found some snow pea seeds on the dead vine… so I’ve put them in the ground in the hothouse to see what happens over winter. You never know your luck right?
The brassicas I put in the hothouse are finally starting to take shape!
And those manky tomatoes I moved the other week into the hothouse? They are starting to look rather nice and get a better colour!
All in all… happy to get some garden jobs done!
I keep saying little by little don’t I?
Two months until spring people! Eek!
Cheers!
