A few days backlog for this blog post:
I ate the first strawberry that came out :) It was nice, nomnom. There are quite a few more strawberry's coming out so I'm looking forward to picking and eating those with Louise.
Today I bought a new watering can and some plant food, the day after Bill used his plant food - everything looked stronger, green, healthier and happier....thought it was about time I gave them some more. Will see what they look like tomorrow.
I squared off the new patch...a couple of the lettuces didn't do too well and have pretty much died so there is a space for 2 new plants at the front, will see what we decide to put there.
I'll add pictures of the new squared off patch tomorrow and I have also planted the remaining flowers next to the wood.
Oh - in the new patch there is sweetcorn, sweet peas and lettuce.
The manderin tree has been pruned and looks very spacious :)
The potatoes keep sprouting through! So nearly every day I rebury them...apparently once flowers start appearing then they are ready to be picked - there are also a few potato plants sprouting through outside of the patch (where I put the scraps hole)...so I put more on dirt of them aswell, could have a lot of potatoes :)
The beans have sprouted out and are looking good, the silverbeet is getting veryyyyy big and the lawn...damnit i need to mow it again (it grows very quick!). Apparently every 2 weeks I need to mow it so will need to make that a regularly job.
I also need to weed some of the patches, the weather hasn't been great (in fact today when I was squaring off the new patch it was wet and dirty, I redone it because it was not straight the first time d'oh) - however the rain is probably good for the plants :)
Unfortunately a bunch of the flowers I planted next to the backdoor...well they have all disappeared!!! goddamnit think snails ate them, luckily we had some left over (I was going to put them in pots) so they have gone in their place - will put snail pellets down this time, I didn't last time cos I thought they only attacked the plants that we eat lol. Some flowers have already come out from them.
The radish are doing well:
However the apple cucumbers have died! I think there was a very hot day and they just completely dried up:( bitter I'm planning to buy some more and trying again.
Ideas to Pursue:
Security light outside wood shed
Stars to bottom level of garden (currently only middle level)
Repair fences / gates
Organize inside of garage
Shed or Tree next to PAB?
Build maze? (lol!)
Short term plans:
Path to wood shed / end of garden
