I planted some garlic.

I planted some garlic. Here's how I did it. And remember, pointy end up.

Snuck

Just snuck it in. Planted some lettuce seedlings, tided up a few strawberry runners and got a few cabbage seeds in and now we're getting some rain.

How to plant Shallots.

Short little video I made with my iPhone.

I'd love to know what you think! I might make a few more.

Storms with some rain

Storms with some rain in them have been predicted for this weekend so I'm taking as much of my health as I can summon and I'm a planting seeds.

So I got a row of Spinach in and hoed over a few sq mts for peas and ran out of puff.

Tomorrow I'll plant the pea seeds and start getting a bed ready for some broad been seeds.

It was nice to smell the smell of freshly turned moist soil.

I was also walking through Coles when I spotted some Shallots and picked up four of them and I'll bung em in the garden tomorrow as well.

(The shallot is a botanical variety of the species Allium cepa, to which the multiplier onion also belongs. The shallot was formerly classified as a separate species, A. ascalonicum, a name now considered a synonym of the currently accepted name. Wikipedia)

I've also got some Garlic saved from last years harvest to plant as well. Seeing as I'm going back to work on Monday it's looking like I've got a few busy days ahead.

Cheers

Stewart.
