Well, we have officially finished all the spring planting! In the past few months we have planted tomato's (red cherry, tomato berry, yellow cherry, yellow, orange cherry, black russian and patio tomato, i think thats it), snow peas, beans, capsicum and basil. The red cherry tomato has already shot off and is now 6 feet tall!
Will post some pictures later. Have also been picking blueberries and the white currents are almost ripe. The nectarine tree has flowered and is fruiting quite nicely despite the rampant leaf curl. Grrr....it never goes away!
Our rubard managed to survive the winter (it was a close call) and is going crazy. I cant wait to pick the stalks, mum wants me to cook her a apple and rhubard pie.
At the start of spring we planted lavender in our garden to encourage bees (have previously have a lack of pollinating insects in the garden) and they are working a treat! Every morning when i go into the garden there are bee's humming away. I will admit when we first planted them i did go into the front yard (where there are tons of bee's) and took some in a jar to the backyard. lol. It didnt work so im glad they made it on their own.
Oh and after pinching off the ends of the fig trees new shoots new figs have started forming :) yay. My daughter Hayley loves figs!
