We've only been home a few days, and we're busy prepping for our 2nd xmas day & lexi's birthday this weekend, AND i have a zillion photos to upload of everything we've been doing of late (which on dialup takes an age to do)..
SOOooo...
you'll just have to sit back & wait, relax, and check out how our garden is going in the meantime.. ok?
mid-december-
our 1st full basket of home grown produce - beans, peas, lettuce, spinach beet, kale, strawberries & a beetroot!
snow peas
today-
potato flowers
dozens of cherry tomatoes to come
capsicums
oxheart tomatoes
an odell's lettuce
spinach beet
yellow empress sunflowers
cosmos (i think.. might be zinnia though) complete with bumble bee!
zinnia (i think.. might be cosmos though)
corn
heavy heads of quinoa
companion planting - onions, leeks, garlic and lots of calendula!
a red onion
heartsease
yellow pole beans, we've had a few that are around 1' long!
not bad for the little pile of rocks we started off with huh?

Well done on a gorgeous productive garden, you have done well :)
Lookin' great!! What's the heartsease for?
Oh my goodness! I love your garden :D Very jelly!
thanks! we're really enjoying it :)
sharon the heartsease is another companion flower, i can't remember them all but i know it's good for alliums! it's hidden behind our mass of calendula with the onions & garlic...
Very impressive garden, it's come a long way :-) Well done.
Hey, that all looks great! So what did you do this year to keep the pile of rocks away?
lol nikki we sieved them all out & gave them away on freecycle!! the soil here is vastly better than in our front garden too - that was 40cm deep solid clay rocks - the back was just soil with rocks mixed all through it ;)
What a haul - well done!
And Happy Birthday to Alexis for yesterday, from her birthday buddy Amelia! :D
