16.10.2009 - Our garden has taken off! Look at how well the herb garden is doing in the wine barrel!
The lemon tree is growing well. We’ve planted nasturtium seeds under it. Our garlic is getting tall. We’ll plant tomatoes with the garlic when the weather warms up a bit more.
In the long vege beds we have lettuces, rainbow chard, and some more herbs growing. We planted some peas but they haven’t come up.
The strawberries went CRAZY after we mulched them with pine needles from Botle Lake Forest - they stood straight up to attention!
The blueberries have lots of blossom and seem happy where they are. The cranberries are doing ok, but we may need to move them in the summer as they are a bit fragile and don’t like being bumped by the bikes. We could move them to the feijoa forest.
The creeping majoram has settled in to the tyre planter and soon it’ll make a lovely place to sit.
