Sowing again new seeds

Well it's the time of the year at this place on the planet. I have just sowed more seeds otherwise I will miss the boat. Seeds I sowed this afternoon in egg cartons again as per picture below were:

1. Pumpkin 'Golden Nugget'
2. Zucchini 'Striato d'italia'
3. Pepper (red) 'Sweet Romano'

I look forward to seeing them emerge.

Have a great day where ever you are.

Sowing new seeds

This morning I sowed the following seeds in old egg cartons (in my courtyard):

1. Shallots, seed collected  26/4/2011.
2. Cucumbers, seed collected 5/5/2010.
3. Silverbeet, seeds collected 18/7/2010.
4. Spinach, pack seeds from shop.
5. Turnip (snowball), pack seeds from shop.

It rained this morning quite abit, so I did not water them in as I was hoping for the rain to do its job. Aim to plant the seedlings in a matter of weeks into the vegetable garden. With the egg cartons I'm planning to just plant the seedlings with the egg carton, split up, into the ground as the cardboard should break down.

Still have alot of natural weeds to remove from the patch. If you can help, let me know.

October Weed pulling, Preparation!

Hey, thought I better get in and pull weeds. Since it rained quite well over the last few days, I have decided to get off my arse and do it. Action! As you can see above the weeds are tremendously bad in the vegetable garden and needs removing promptly.

I need to sow new spring/summer crop, condition the soil ready for that crop, and better the looks of the patch. This month - October - is the time to start sowing vegies and at the end of this month put in tomatoes. Any earlier, the tomatoes won't survive due to any lateish frosts.

So I can't wait to free up the patch and clean up all those unwanted weeds. Same shit happens every year, eh?

As you can see on the second photo is my little potatoe harvest. By the way, still digging up beautiful potatoes. Great!

Catchya.
