Time to tend the garden
Well about 3 months ago I build and planted my first ever vege garden and it has brought me much satisfaction.
I (should say we, me and hubbie) have eaten heaps of courgettes, lettuce and spinach, a couple of tomatoes and bop choy. My Brassicas (broccoli and cauli) have been a bit disappointing and I’m, still waiting on my capsicum and eggplant.
Today I pulled out a few tired plants and made room for some new recruits. I conditioned the soil with some blood and bone and topped it off with fresh compost. Next weekend I’m going to plant some more lettuce and some beetroot and maybe a leak or two.
I’m still working on my tomatoes. They are slowing turning red in succession up the plant and they taste awesome. I’m hoping next year I can grow heaps of tomatoes and courgettes as I’m keen to start making chutneys and sauces.
