Capsicum

Much excitement here at MVG. 

Capsicum seed I saved from a bought capsicum that I'd sown on the 24th of last month have sprouted.

So I now know it's easy as to save capsicum seed but I'll have to wait to see what fruit actually gets produced. 

Cheers

More veggie garden adventures

Ok Lots to catch up on.
Firstly on Wednesday I planted some butternut pumpkin and some Sugar Baby watermelon into little 5" pots on account their bed is not ready for direct planting.
Then I potted on four seedlings of capsicum so as they can get a little more established before I plant then into their final growing position.


Corn I planted on 8/9/08 was ready to be planted and was dispatched to the prepared corn bed.

Two more lettuce seedlings were planted to continue their successive planting.
















Now you see it











Now you don't.

Peas were pretty much spent so out they go to make room for more sweet corn. Just need to add some compost aged manure and blood bone turn it over and away I go.









I did get a nice basket full before they came out.

Things are really moving now

4mm of rain overnight has freshened things up around here and will make watering a little easier.

Seed report.
On Thursday 11/09/08 I planted a follow up row of Beetroot
Sunday. Seeds I've planted that have sprouted are Capsicum. Pak Choi (planted 8/09/08), Tiny Toms, Lettuce and Cabbage.

Sporadic sprouting of Chilli. I planted 16 and have 5 but am hopeful the rest will follow. I want to plant these in a flower border as a compromise between ornamental flowers and useful vegies, even though I can't eat them I can give them away to friends who can.

Cheers
