It's getting better all the time.

It's been a pretty good Winter so far. There's been dribs and drabs of rain, enough to get sown seeds up and no need for any extra irrigation save for a watering can here or there.

The winter solstice has been and gone and with longer days and shorter shadows I'll soon have reclaim enough garden from the shadows to start planting again.

I've made a list and will be posting shortly what is being planted in the not to distant future.

Lime Sulphur

If you're looking for something to do in your veggie garden this weekend then might I suggest a little Lime Sulphuring.

July is the right time to get stuck in and get this job over and done with and out of the way.




I'm working on the sound, I know how to improve it I just need to gather my gadgets.

Cheers and you smell like rotten eggs

Stewart.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Queensland Garden Expo

When I made the decision to go to the Queensland Garden Expo in Nambour about a month ago I was still enjoying the gentle breezes, warming sun and the humidity of a late balmy Autumn and it seemed like a good idea.

Now, less than two weeks out, the lovely Autumn has gone and been replaced with the coldest, windiest winter temperatures since the last coldest windiest winter temperatures happened.

 You're What?

This, in itself, isn't all that bad except I'll be riding my motorbike and I'm working myself up into a

small panic because I'll need to leave predawn on the Saturday morning and lately that's been around zero to five degrees Celsius.. I'm hoping furiously for a warm front in the weather or else this is going to be one frozen little veggie gardener by the time the sun rises and I get a chance to thaw out.

Knitting

So like a straw hut facing up to the big bad wolf I've decided to knit a scarf because, that'll fix everything, won't it?

Lets Get Together

I was also thinking if any other bloggers are going to the Garden Expo we could have a little meet and greet. Let me know by email or in the comments if you're interested and see what we can organise.

Cheers and stay warm

It's Freezing

 It's Freezing

 It's around one degree here at the moment and very frosty which has me thinking this might be the end of my 'growing tomatoes in winter,' experiment and after reading a facebook post by Jerry Coleby-Williams saying "Tomatoes stop growing when the ambient temperature drops to 5C or below,"  I think the jig is up.

 Optimistism

Being the optimistic little bunny that I can be from time to time I'll persevere and see what happens.

Cheers
