Spring

Is finally here for us.
Not as much got done this weekend as I would have liked but nevertheless progress is being made.

Some potatoes got planted. These are Desiree of which there are two kilos. One kilo of Nicola was also planted out.

I picked a few more carrots. Not much luck with them. I have mentioned in the past that I cannot seem to grow large ones. Maybe my soil needs adjusting.

The second last cauliflower was picked. That will be eaten with tomorrow nights dinner.

And finally. The asparagus is starting to show up. We started eating some last year and I hope the plants produce well this year. There are seven plants in total.

The warm weather has continued all week and I have continued preparing the beds for future planting.
Four more days and winter is over here.

Harvested some endives and a cauliflower for tonights dinner.

Some of my tomato seedlings are starting to emerge.

And here is a picture of my dwarf lemon tree growing in an old dryer stainless steel tub.

We are having a bit of a warm spell here at the moment. The weather bureau has warned us that it will not last.
I've been harvesting some winter veggies but have slacked of and not posted pictures of them all.

I got a nice load of chicken manure delivered for the veggie beds. I would prefer sheep manure but I cannot get it and the chicken poo has served me well for the last two years.

This was the first endive harvest a couple of weeks ago. I love these.

The first cauliflower was picked last weekend along with some more broccoli.

And todays lot. Another cauli, broccoli and a few snow peas. Oh look, a stray pepper. Not sure which plant that came from as the Mrs did the harvesting.

I don't think there will be any Brussels sprouts at the moment but time will tell.

Fresh plantings

I planted out some new stuff today. Here's hoping there is a lot of good eating coming up in the next few months.
Not everything was planted but I made a good start.
Cauliflower, broccoli and brussels sprouts that has been started from seed were transplanted into the main bed. I've only tried growing these ones from seed once before and i was not successful so here is hoping they work out. I have had a lot of success with seedlings purchased from the store.

Here are some of the brassicas. Tiny as they are.

Snow peas and silverbeet that were planted about 2 weeks ago.

I also planted some spinach and leek seed today. 

And the egg layers ate lots of goodies again today.

How do i get to the other side of the fence?
