Planting Seeds

Hello!
How is your week going? Nearly at the end of it again!
Yesterday I had a couple of people to do my workshop – a husband and wife.
They moved down from Queensland a short while ago and are getting the hang of a different climate! Lovely couple and it was a super afternoon.

Today Jeff and I did a lap of the river trail – this time I put my pack on and carried about 10kgs. It was no trouble so thats encouraging!!

This morning Sharon (soap lady) dropped by with a couple of buckets and we raided the garden 🙂
I was just sharing some of the excessive amounts of flowers we have as she is just starting to develop her area since they moved the goats and chooks out of the house yard haha!
Early next week I’ll be going up to visit her to raid her raspberry patch of new canes!

This afternoon after our walk, I got into the hothouse and planted a heap of seeds.
The ones I planted a week ago were cucumber, zucchini and cos lettuce. The cos is up and there are two tiny cucumber sprouts pushing their way up.
During the workshops I also planted sunflowers, basil and capsicum.
Today I planted about 6 different varieties of tomato, butternut pumpkin, golden nugget pumpkin, stevia, marigolds, eggplant, bee balm, cape gooseberry, plus more sunflowers which are a bit of an experiment in the toilet rolls.
Other veggies I will wait to direct sow when the weather is warmer.

I think I have started a bit later compared to other years but really – I don’t think its going to make a grand difference.

Oh – and today I industriously labelled everything – I didn’t last time and now I think I know the zucchini but I don’t quite remember which is which with the different cucumbers! Doh!
I did plant more apple cucumber and zucchini for a friend so maybe when they all sprout I can compare them and work it out!

Anyway – not sure the weather is going to be nice tomorrow – but I very much need to get the potatoes in!! I’ll be speed digging and prepping soon!

Hope you’ve had a lovely day
Cheers
