Late Winter update

Hey to all those thousands of people who are interested,

I cut back asparagus plants today. The old withered brown growth was cut off, this old growth resembled the ferns which you can see in the various pics in my past posts. The seeds which I planted some time back have still not emerged and are still okay I hope. That's fine, they take a while. Back to my actual vegy garden, new shoots are growing so that is good, I suppose the plants think it is Spring. Nearly! Some are a inch long already and rather thick. In the coming week I need to add compost to the asparagus plants. This will give them the needed nutrients and food for the Spring growing season.

Pulled out some weeds that were in the patch. Still more to do. I am getting ready for turning over the fallow ground ready for compost top up and airing it all out. Spring is coming and doing this hardish work now will result in a plentiful Summer harvest. So I'll be changing the layout of the vegetable garden for this seasons patch. I need to use the space I have for the patch better, in other words, become more efficient with the area. In a previous post, I mentioned I will be doing it, and I will.

Pulled out the last of the carrots. Pulled out all purple carrots too. Jacinta and I cleaned, blanched, cut, and frooze them this morning for later use.

Anyway garlic, onions, peas, leek, brocolli, and cabbage all doing well.

I did all of this this morning just before the rain entered our region of the world. It is now steadily raining. Good slow soaking rain.

Serenity now in the vegetable garden!
