The week that was.


A mixed week for my veggie garden. The weather has been varied ranging from plesant to showers, rain (10/12mm) and even warm (22C) for this time of the year.

Ordered and received

I placed an order with Green Harvest (my favorite online mail order company) on late Wednesday and to my surprise it arrived Friday lunch time (damn they are good).
Included in the order was;
  • Potatoes; Ruby Lou 1kg
  • Lupin
  • Lucerne Sequel
  • Tomato Oxheart
  • Tumeric Madras
  • Rhubarb Ever Red

Planted
  • Rhubarb Ever Red
  • Lupin
  • Tumeric
  • Carrots
  • Radish
  • Leek
  • Potatoes
  • Garlic
Sprouted
  • Spring onions (just)
  • Beetroot
Growing
  • Strawberries are flowering
  • Self sown wheat has seed heads maturing
  • Radish are getting there.
  • Peas are a bit slow but getting there
  • Self sown potatoes are powering along. Must remember to plant my seed potatoes earlier next year. They seem to like the early start.
Chooks
  • Still 2/3 eggs a day.
That's was the week that is from the veggie garden this week;

Cheers and happy gardening
