thinned swedes, approx 4 in between plants |
Argh the weather lately has been very ordinary, cold and drizzling rain. But there are still little jobs to be done (plus I can't help myself). Pulling weeds and thinning some seedlings. The swedes are growing very nicely, but also getting quite crowded.
Also the ol' snow peas are growing again since we put a up a bit of a
fence to protect them (wire ring from some trees that I planted) – as suspected, must of been
Peter Rabbit visiting.
climbing snow peas off to slow start - a few weeks ago |
now with 'fence' in place they are protected and thriving |
So its basically maintenance time stuff is growing
but damn slow. Flower seeds planted (good germinating weather) – which will provide great spring colour!
protected pumpkins |
Talking about critters eating things, the possums cost us
some pumpkins -you wake up in the morning and a few pumpkins were half gone! So we used the wire rings as mentioned above, problem cured! So in the end we got some good pumpkins. Just
as well, other wise the possums were going to be a whole lot edible as well!
