Garden - update




Current projects - mulching and general tidying up especially near the root cellar and preparing two beds for sweet potatoes. Between these two beds I am going to erect a frame for growing Madagascar beans.

Collected 2 round bales of mulching hay today after Garden Club Committee meeting - the cost was certainly right at only $10/bale. I have already spread 40 normal bales of sugar cane mulch past week that I collected from Jacobs Well area - this cost $4.50/bale.

Pictures of current produce - our brassicas are doing really well with minimal caterpillar problems. We have lots of chicory, radicchio lettuce, carrots, kale,snow peas and beetroot almost ready as well. The cabbage in the picture is a sugarloaf.




Also photo of Madagascar bean seeds - we have grown them for the first time this year on a fence near the vegetable patch but they really need something more "dedicated". We didn't get around to eating any of these beans so I hope the effort will be worthwhile.
