Here are some lovely (very rich) Easter treats that the kids and I made up yesterday.
Early this morning after 2 of the children had risen, I made my way out into the vege patch. I picked the last of the tomatoes and pulled the bushes, I dug soil over and added manure then planted carrot, broccoli, peas and beetroot seed and a bed of garlic.
The last of our sweet smelling basil (I will miss you so much over winter).
The beetroot are starting to take off.
The green manure in 3 of the beds is growing well.
The beginnings of 2 new pea beds. This is where I was growing loganberries but to be honest, they weren't that successful, the thorns were terrible and we didn't really like the taste so I ripped them out today and my hands should be fully recovered in a couple of days.
The girls helping out in the hot house with a slater problem.
So there's a glimpse of what I've been up to, I hope you have a lovely Easter break.
I was going to try the green manure technique too. I discussed it with my parents today. I was asking where I could get lucerne or lupin seeds from for my garden bed...I think they are good plants for green manure.
ReplyDeleteI have beetroot planted and it is doing well, planted some broccoli too. A bit of rain would be nice right now :)
Our chooks love slaters!
