Hey to the 6+ billion of you,

I'm playing catch up here.

Back on the 2 December 2012 I did a lot of work in the vegetable garden. My bro in the days before pulled out all the weeds from the patch (well 97% of it). Believe me the weeds and grass in the patch were up to my hips in height. It was shit. See the below picture.

Anyway with all the weeds behind me, I turned over afew days later some of the soil to air it out and I added compost which I had going for a good year. And dug it over again. BTW, there are millions of grass seeds from all the weeds, scattered all over the patch. So I havee to keep aim at removing the new grass/weeds as they grow.

So on the 2nd December I sowed the following seeds into the patch:

1. Rocket.
2. Shallots.
3. Two zuchini plants.
4. Purple haze carotts.
5. Climbing beans.
6. Cucumbers.
7. Coriander.
8. Six tomato varieties namely:
  a) Marglobe Lycopersicon lycoperscum;
  b) Tommy Toes;
  c) Black Cherry  Lycopersicon lycoperscum;
  d) Ox Heart Red;
  e) Two Roma Tomatoes;
  f) Beef Steak;
9. Basil.
10. Cos lettuce.
11. Oregano.
12. Four rows of potatoes (not sure which variety, just threw them in as they were last years stock.

I watered the garden and dug up most of the last potatoes. My bro when weeding took up afew of the garlic I planted, so there is only about four garlic plants left. I don't blame him, there was so much weeds. See the pictures below.







So yes, I look forward to this seasons vegetable gardening.

Regardo, S.
