Spring!



Now the spring season is taking off. Warming up with fine sunny days and the occasional raining and showery day. Eg today is 25 degrees. Just a beautiful time. Took some pictures the other day, and I must admit, they are abit dark cause I took the shots after watering for the day and there was about 10mins of sunlight left. They are on the right. They show what I have in there now. Top photo shows peas, potatoes, brown onions, leak. Bottom photo displays at a different angle potatoes again with spinach, brown onions and down the back you can see (maybe) garlic. We have had some late frosts just a week back and I had to cover the potatoes with the green shade cloth you see laying there. But
hopefully the frosts are finished for the year, but one can not be sure. At the moment I have capsicum (red/green) seed in as well as parsnip, water and rock melon, carrotts, & spring onions. I have available soon from the green house zuchini, tomatoe, sweet corn, climbing beans, and cucumber seedlings ready to be transplanted. From the photos, you can see the beds I formed for the different vegys etc. I think there is too much space wasted. Next year there will be larger beds or only afew vegetable beds creating more space for growing. Anyway, until next time.......
