Oh it was bliss tonight! The first new potatoes were on the dinner plates for tea tonight!! I bandicooted around the base of one of the advanced plants and came up with these little beauties! They tasted so good too!! We have been missing our potatoes. It might be a little while before the next lot will be ready, but we enjoyed this treat very much.
My snow pea harvest doubled today! haha
And I got almost half a kilo more of strawberries.
I am taking a leaf out of Mavis’s book (over at 100 Dollars a Month) and started to weigh what I pick. Just out of curiosity. Lets see how long that bit of dedication lasts!! 🙂
This afternoon it stopped raining – still cool and the wind was annoying, but it seemed like a good time to go and get another couple of hours in at Ruby’s garden.
She is really happy with her ‘Christmas peas’. I am sure they will be ready for the dinner table on Christmas day.
Like everywhere else… the slightly warmer weather and all the rain has meant weeds going mad. Jeff and I did some major weeding/clearing a few days ago (Jeff brought along his whipper snipper and sheared off all the tall grasses/weeds that were going to seed. It really helped.
Today I thought I would concentrate on this plot. The oxalis is rampant. The two remaining silverbeet raced to seed, so I wanted to replace them as well as make some space to thin out and replant a lot of the beetroot.
I only dug up one row of the over crowded beetroot, but it filled the space I weeded easily. I will have to weed another plot if I am going to space all the rest out!
Felt good to make a bit of overdue progress in here (And have a cuppa afterwards of course!)
On a different note, my Texas Fund is now $653.50
I think I am well on track there 🙂
Have a fabulous day
Cheers
New potatoes….yum! Great pics, as always!
The potatoes were so good! Going to have to be patient now and wait a little before we can find some more!
