Spring Gardening



I'm trying to have a garden thats Organic and  Natural


I planted my seedlings as usual on Sept 1
I used newspaper folded around a balsmic vinegar bottle( beer bottles work well too) to make pottles. You can plant direct later, or remove and throw in compost.
Already the Rocket and Cos are Coming up!

Dug in Sheep poo dust and blood and bone.

I'm giving up on Cucumber this year as it dosn't give alot of vege for the space and Time.
Also Pepprs, and Capsicum take so long and only do average, so they are out. Aphid control with Nastursium if you do them.

I'm going to give brocolli another go now my Brother gave me a hoop net thing. The Green Slugs ravaged them before and picking them off was not enough.

My successes last year were Beans, Zuchinni, Rocket, cos Lettuce, Tomatoes, Parsley
Also I solved the neighbours cat pooing in my garden with Chilli Powder sprinkled around edge. Lemon dosn't work at all.

Spinach is going well already and I'll be adding Beetroot. We also Did spud in a bucket and I'll be doing it again

Mum tells me that to stop Coriander going to seed have a water dish and water from below so it never dries out, so I'll be giving that a go.

YUMMY crisp veges In a few months...Delicious
