Protecting and tinkering

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!

Until next time get out there and check out ya patch and just tinker around a bit..
