Sowed Iceberg Lettuce seeds this afternoon in a small area in Bed 13 next to the silverbeet. When they ae old enough to transplant, I will. Pictures show what the vegetable garden looks like today with onions and garlic. The garlic are really taking off. Had showers over the past day or so in our area with 11mm recorded.

Carrots

I have so many carrots, so I thought I better pull out as many as I can to preserve them for later use. So this afternoon I harvested half of them and brought them inside, cleaned them up, blanched and then cooled them down ready for the freezer. Fifteen family sized zip bags for fifteen separate nights on the dinner table. Later I will harvest the remaining half. Took a picture. Notice the fifty and ten cent pieces beside the carrots, that's all I could afford. See below:

In other Murrumbateman news, I threw Blood and Bone over all the growing vegetables as I know (and hope) that there will be rain overnight and tomorrow morning. On the 26th June 2010 I pulled out all the leeks from the garden and put them into the freezer. Below is a happy snap of the leek before any preserving was to be done:
