July
First daffodil opened:
17 July
It's hard to believe but we are still harvesting these vegetables from our garden.
Currently harvesting: spring onions, red onions, silverbeet, sugarloaf cabbage, red cabbage, cauliflower and peas (!)
In seed boxes:
brocolli, cauliflower, sugarloaf cabbage, silverbeet, spinach
Newly planted out in garden: Nothing - soil being prepared for planting out to start in 2-3 weeks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The shortest day The ground is one month gone and the soil is being turned and cleared as pesky slugs appear. Time for liquid seaweed fertiliser and lime.
The succulent gardens have been weeded and expanded around the Lodge and Polehouse. We have a couple dozen varieties.
Red pokers, yellow pokers and day lillies abound!
