Good Soaking Rains!

What lovely rain we had yesterday it rained solidly ALL morning and it's done wonders for my vegie garden!!

I don't know if I mentioned that the boys and I planted some vegies a few weeks back. We planted

• broccoli
• celery
• capsicum
• silverbeet
• zuchinni

When Mark had his shed put up last weekend one of the broccoli plants was snapped near the base and didn't survive but that's okay we have plenty more of them growing. The snails got to most of the plants in the first week that we planted them. So I bought some snail bait. Thankfully the plants are safe for now even though I had to put a second lot of pellets in the garden.
We've already been harvesting some of the baby silverbeet for some casseroles that I have made. I know that ALL my boys don't like it but they eat it to please me. Well at least Mark and the big fella do. The little dude tries to hide his 'greens' and throw then in the bin!! Sometimes he eats it though so I can't complain too much (or can I rofl).

I hope that the rain was in the water catchment areas. We could sure use the top up in the reservoirs.
