Anyway, the last few months have been speeding by. Between volunteering at the Melbourne Writers Festival, keeping up with homework, and half starting all the other plans that dance in the back of my mind, I have been busy. But I'm happy to say that I still managed to find some time to clear that epic patch of weeds in the back yard and make way for some vegetable patches. Here is my handiwork so far...
Nasturtium et future lettuce
this patch is gonna be for silverbeet et lettuce (note the weeds taking over the background...just you wait weeds...just you wait...)
Future Flower Barrel being eaten from the bottom up by spinach
They have been living inside the laundry...this is what you would see if you were a nosy hobbit peering in...
apple tree, fig tree and basil
peppermint :)
Basil, with little basil seedies catching up:
sunflower in its own greenhouse
It's really nice to be able to potter about for twenty minutes or so whenever I get home from work/uni, watering plants and making sure nobody has died. Last year I gave them all people names (the capsicums were all Giovanni) but this year I've planted so many different things that I'm gonna forget what they are if I do this...I will of course, give them people names as soon as they have all grown enough to be distinguishable from one another.
If anybody has any gardening tips or stories, I'd love to hear them, I'm still learning a lot about plants, just by mucking around in the garden mostly...Hope all you other gardeners are enjoying the sunny weather!
