xTania
compared to your productive weekend, nothing LOL.... But.. it did rain and the days were really spent crocheting and cooking :))
ReplyDeleteI am loving your garden.. well done to hubbie.. :))
Gee, your raised garden beds look great - so organised. I always feel guilty when I see your garden and think that I haven't even been out in mine for so long - lazy and bad hip. Just went for a massage and not sure if the hip pain is worse than the massage or not. The lady moved muscles I never new existed.
ReplyDeleteDo try the Lemon Delicious - it's um... delicious!
Raised beds look amazing ...and I love see pics of that red soil you have! My weekend wasnt quite as energetic but I was out planting. I picked one little winter capsicum here in the Hunter Valley !
ReplyDeleteWow Tania, the new garden is looking great.....
ReplyDeleteHave you heard of sprouting Broccoli plants? Your Broccoli looks wonderful. I bought a Kale plant on the weekend, never grown it before. No. 1 turned his nose up when I told him it was part of the cabbage family,lol...
Our Loquat tree is just coming good after the cows stuck their heads over the fence and ate half of it........On a hot Summers day when I am out int he garden working, those Loquats are the best little thirst quenchers. Full of seeds but the juicy flesh is the best.
I had 3 avocado seedlings pop up in the garden, I had buried some compost and they grew. I pulled 2 out but the frost has damaged the last one...we'll see what happens.
Great post,

Your garden and produce are so nice! I see you protect your gardens from critters! love,andrea
ReplyDeleteWow, everything looks great! That garden and how you have it fenced in is fabulous! I am sure it will be extremely productive.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Jealous with a capital J I am with your capsicum harvest. Ours have all turned black with the frosts now and it is all over red rover
ReplyDeleteLove what you achieve in your garden under harsh conditions!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks good.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your plan with the lemons and capsicums? I'm looking for ideas.
I haven't commented for yonks but would like to say that I am really liking what you have been doing.

Wow, your garden beds look great, I wish I had more space for more beds. I planted beetroot this year for the first time and they are growing well.
ReplyDeleteLook at all of those lemons...I miss my lemon tree...maybe some Lemon Butter...love Lemon Butter...yum.
Can't wait to see how all your vegies grow in the coming weeks.
Your veggie beds are very protected - what sort of wildlife do you have to keep out? Everything is looking so good. i seemed to have a bit of down time in the garden, but things are starting to produce now - I can see me looking for ways to use up cucumbers.
ReplyDeleteI love your chook proof veggie garden, that's what we hope to do once we have our own place, for the moment though the chooks are fenced in and my veggie garden is free!
ReplyDeleteLovely Blog, I'll add you to my sidebar and call back soon.

Our New Life in the Country
I would love more garden beds, running out of space unfortunately. Today I mulched the beds, planted some red currents and did some pruning. I still have more to do.
ReplyDeleteYour garden beds are looking great :) Sounds like you are still producing some good food from your garden :)Thought I would pop in and say HI since I have been MIA for a while. Hope you and your family are well Tania, Regards, Ruth xx
