Thread: Veggie Patch

Too bloody hot to be digging anymore plant beds so I spent yesterday building a new "tractor" shed for my ride on mower.
I had a few old bull nose sheets of tin lying around an a couple of treated pine poles that I put to good use.

A couple of cooler days and a light shower of rain this morning has brought the garden back to life.
The peas are up as well as the beetroot and the beans are just starting to emerge
I had 6 tomato plants in But they look pretty dreary now because of the heat and that I planted them in the wrong place
The Cauliflower, broccoli and Chinese cabbage seedlings are starting to get their second leaves so I will be able to ***** them out into seedling trays soon and the onion seedlings should be ready to plant in 2-3 weeks as well.
I also have leeks and celery stating to emerge as well as the lemon grass.
Just waiting for a few more seeds to arrive in the mail so I can get all the winter veggies started.

On the downside I still have to dig up about 60 square meters of ground and grub out all the cooch roots before I am ready to transplant everything and I am hoping to be able to get that done over the next week or so.

We have a bit of trouble with broad beans here as our resident Kookies have taken a liking to them. They split the pod and devour the inner beans.
For a bit of a challenge, try planting asparagus.

Sulphur crested cockies love them also plus peas. A cockie will open up a pea pod, select one pea, peel it and eat the two inner bits. All done with one claw and that big ugly beak. Grapes and passion fruit are likewise favourites.

That was a good laugh especially that ladybug

Thanks A.M. Miniscule was one of my favourite shows and still is. 'Spider and the Fly' were classics!
