Gardening

Over the weekend we've been busy in the garden digging gypsum and organic fertiliser into the soil preparing it for the new vegetables that we finally got around to buying and planting today. I was thinking that Angus wont be too though we didn't wait for him as he was wanting to help out but we haven't planted the beans yet. Mark said that we can leave them for Angus to do. He should love that ... he HATES beans rofl.

Let's see what veggies did we get....
  • red cabbage
  • tomatoes - two types but I can't remember what they are called .. oh well lol
  • capsicum
  • celery
  • silver beet
  • string beans
At least this year we have a little more experience with growing veggies and we (hopefully) planted them with a bit more room than we did last year. I don't think they will be over crowded. I've also added some osmocote type fertiliser that is a slow release one and I've put the snail bait down already. There is no point waiting until the plants get half eaten before we put the pellets out. So within a couple of months we should be harvesting some fresh vegetables! Yum!!
