Vegie Visit July 2011

 Thanks Ladies for all your work in my garden. You thinned and replanted my seedlings, fertilised all my vegies and fruit with worm juice, weeded, tested my soil, then added just the right amount of sulphur to increase it’s acidity level. Not bad for a couple of hours work. All this and such good company. My garden, Emma,  and I all feel nurtured.

It's not all hard slog!!

 

Onions





Mulch has been removed to add sulphur to the soil. This will eventually be my "berrie" garden bed



 

Parsnips, radishes, turnips. Flowers at back to attract bees





  

 

Sorry Blueberries, you will need to wait a little longer until my soil is just right for you to be planted!
















Mmm, this looks like a nice, safe place to burrow into

Susan's Garden



Melanie: Hi Susan, I see you have had a whole lot of bales delivered to your garden. I know you don't have a horse, what's going on?

Susan: They are for our new vegie garden

Melanie: Oh, a vegie gardener! You must come with me...

And, as they say, the rest is history.

Hi. I have been with the vegie group for a couple of years now.  Chats with friends, learning and sharing ideas for our vegie patches, children playing happily together (mostly!) , coffee, freshly baked cakes, and of course, working on our vegie patches together. Fridays have become the highlight of my week.

I would like to share a couple of photos from our family's vegie patch.
