I think I have to confess to going slightly stir crazy. Starting to feel very whingy & whiny about the constant miserable weather!
The potatoes should have gone in, but I don’t think it will hurt waiting a few days more – you know… for an actual warm spring day!
Finding motivation to leave the house is becoming a lot harder.
Pretty much forced myself into cleaning up this mess… put most of it through the mulcher for the compost along with some whizzed-up kitchen scraps and a few lucky worms
Yesterday I found about four good sized slugs living under some of the pots in the hothouse… and one decapitated cucumber 🙁
I must admit I was excited to see the first of the tomato seedlings popping up
There were two yesterday, but today I saw a lot more – so ‘Yay’
Yesterday one pumpkin almost there
Today – two!
Zucchini also put in an appearance today:
The silverbeet seedlings are going along really well:
And I have a number of fennel too – I have never actually tried to grow it. It just appears. Its the first time I have seen what the seedling looks like!
Lettuce seedlings a LOT less dead looking:
I put a couple in the dirt in the hothouse – just because I could. The space is for the cucumbers but I reckon I might be able to get a feed off the lettuce before the cucumbers get big enough to be planted and take over.
The lettuce outside under their little lids seem to be doing quite well on the whole…
If we had of had some nice days I would have taken their covers off during the day… but its been hopeless so I have left them alone.
I think the tomatoes are bigger?
And all of a sudden all these pots of cucumbers started looking successful!
Snowpeas (sprouted) & beans (not sprouted yet) sprinkled with blossom leaves! These are destined for my market stall…
Happy with my outside snow peas – both patches are looking good.
Somehow out of the gone-to-seed celery I have a nice new plant ready for use! Sometimes the garden does things by magic!
I have been contemplating on this raised bed. Its the one I layered with newspaper before dumping all the seaweed onto it. Seems like its done a fabulous job of keeping the weeds at bay!
Now I just have to decide what I want growing in here.
Well… fingers crossed for a decent day tomorrow. Who knows? We might get lucky!
Hope your day was great!
Cheers
