Latest Garden News


My vegetable garden at the start of winter. From left to right: peas about to climb their trellis, in front of the peas are lettuce, to the right and behind the peas is a big basil bush, snow peas climbing their own trellis, a row of young radish, clumps of carrot, two rows of chinese cabbage, two rows of broad beans. To the right of the broad beans are small pots of cabbage and a long pot of strawberries. The whole area is mulched with suger cane mulch.

Close up of carrots, chinese cabbage, broad beans. The white squares are offcuts from a kitchen cabinet someone was building in the neighbourhood. I happened to be driving by and scrounged them immediately. They serve as somewhere to stand when watering and weeding. Pretty handy.

My snow peas are cropping well. Every morning I pick a big handful to add to my lunch the same day.
Fresh and sweet, and totally organic.

Hope you like my pics. Click on any of them for a larger view.
