    I have dug, weeded and fertilized the last garden bed in the veggie patch

    I have put peas, beans, potatoes, shallots, beetroot, corn, rocket, onins, radishes, carrots and fennel seeds in and some are up and running already.
    Now I have to wait until we get some rain to transplant the cabbages, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, silver beet and cauliflower seedlings I have started off in seed trays.
    I am still hand watering at the moment so I had to cart some water But hopefully it should fain in the next few weeks.

    That sounds great. Our veggie patch is also getting attention, but you are way ahead of our efforts. Veggie Patch

    We have a very short rainy season here and we average only about 24 inches a tear But on the upside we dont get any frost problems, The Heat and strong winds are the biggest problem that is why i have used corrugated iron as fencing with some interior fences as "baffling".
    I have found that getting a head start just before winter with my plants gives me a better result

    We encountered our first problem of the season overnight. Where we had placed 15-20 bean seeds of various variety, there are now neat, little, round holes, exactly where the beans where. Some creature of the night has obviously had a snuffle around in the garden. Must have a good snoz on it to locate the beans!

    Not sure if anyone else has noticed this in their veggie patch or gardens in general, but I disturb a lot of moths when watering my garden, might just be a Brisbane thing or even just the wild west of Brisbane?

    Usually that means that they are laying eggs, Be on the look out for caterpillars

    That was my thought at first, going by the hole even though I'm of the belief that 'coots are, basically, carnivorous.

    Time to put the iCam out the back, I reckon.
