I wish I was able to plant more in the ground, but our soil and tree roots make it impossible. Then there is the heat and high cost of water that we pay. During summer the veggies need regular watering especially if in the ground, so I find it better to use the wicking barrels, so there is less evaporation and the water doesn't drain away and disappear like it does in our sandy soil.<br /><br />I am always trying new ideas in the garden and would love to get it to a point where I can grow more in the ground. I would need to use permaculture methods to achieve this.<br /><br />I feel the lemon tree does so well because I feed it the worm tea from the worm farm. I think that is the secret to success.<br /><br />Have a beautiful week and stay safe,<br />xTania<br /><br />Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-68601574797067057432020-08-10T06:34:25.580+09:302020-08-10T06:34:25.580+09:30Your garden looks amazing!

It's time to pull the onions. Potatoes still blooming so I'm hopeful for a large harvest. The squash bugs got the zucchini. The pumpkins look good. The peppers are not liking the pots but the beets are. My herbs are very happy too. Next year I'll put less in pots and all the veggies in the gardens. I'll leave the pots for the herbs and flowers. <br />Take care!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-73784288045139626612020-08-05T23:14:26.403+09:302020-08-05T23:14:26.403+09:30Glad you enjoyed the vid Cheryl.

I feel the seasons changing already, it has been quite warm during the days here lately.<br /><br />I hear what you are saying about blogging and the days running into each other. That is exactly what happened in my case. I seem to be busier than ever and in no time at all the days, weeks and months have slipped away.<br /><br />I am more worried for our economy and jobs, businesses etc. The virus will pass eventually (hopefully) but our economy will be in a mess.<br /><br />I am going to enjoy gardening from now on, especially if we get the forecast rain.<br /><br />Good luck with the carrots. You need sandy soil to grow them successfully, that is something I have plenty of lol!<br /><br />xTania<br /><br />Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-52117363410691131062020-08-03T18:51:51.018+09:302020-08-03T18:51:51.018+09:30The garden is my refuge too Vickie.

Among the ones I planted I have lots of volunteer plants thanks to the pea straw I got in the summer. Pretty pink flowers and pods already forming. All is good here. (I have not killed the new lemon tree!) Yours looks amazing- so many lemons.<br />My family are all in Victoria and the situation is certainly very concerning. I feel very lucky to be here away from the cities. Thank-you so much for all the inspiring photos. So much abundance in your patch. Stay safe and well.
