 Last
summer their veggie garden produced lots of Capsicum, Silver beet, Tomatoes
and Snow Peas but it was ready for a good cleanout, fertilizing and
replenishing for next summer.
We cleared out the old veggies, spread four bags of Surecrop compost (which
contains plenty of fertilizer). Then we turned the whole garden over one
spade depth and broke the clods with the spade. Marie then chopped and
smoothed it with a steel rake.
The centerpiece really brought the veggie
patch to life!!!
To make the veggie patch more colourful and exciting we put a tall red
ripple pot at the end of the brick path and planted a variegated Cumquat
surrounded by blue prostrate Rosemary. “Rosemary Blue Lagoon”. The
centerpiece really brought the veggie patch to life!!!
 Next
we planted some large Tomatoes, Spinach, Lettuce, Onions and Broad beans.
Then all the smaller seedlings of Broccoli, Capsicum, French Beans,
Eggplant, Silver beet, Beetroot and Snow Peas.
Planting Tomatoes and Capsicum this time of year is a little risky but with
a warm spring they will be right.
Thanks Peter for your beautiful seedlings
it’s what made this job

Peter for your beautiful seedlings it’s what made this job.
June and Graham were two of the nicest people we have ever done a makeover
for. June presented us with a selection of Relishes and Jam that she had
made herself and they were beautiful and Graham gave us a big bag of
dangerously hot chilllies from his own garden. Last week Marie went to
Costco and bought the biggest wheel of cheese I have ever seen. Junes
relishes and Grahams chillies were the perfect accompaniment!! |
