Super happy with the fennel and celery this year 👌

One of the most challenging things when growing fo

One of the most challenging things when growing food is often having a continuous supply. We often get in a trap of filling spaces at the start of the season but really we need to spread it out. If we want to harvest something every week we need to make sure that we’re also planting every week to keep up the momentum. This week I am keeping up the momentum by planting another run of cucumbers and beans. What are you planting this week?

Last of the winter tomatoes that I pulled out last

Last of the winter tomatoes that I pulled out last week slowly ripening. We’ve done paste, relish, kasunda, ketchup, soup, bottled and frozen heaps. I think I’ll dry some of these. I might bottle some more - try the pink thai canned, but what else can I do?

I finally broke my potato curse and grew potatoes!

Spring view from the mailbox 🌱 zucchini, cherry tomatoes, things going to seed and a spot ready for corn 🌽 I wasn’t going to plant corn until December but spring is predicted to be to be wetter than normal so I am going to risk it 😬🤞what are you guys planting at the moment?

6 months ago this was rock solid (swipe to see). This was our pandemic bed - we didn’t add anything aside from a handful of slow release organic fertiliser when we double dug the bed 💪. Instead we chopped and dropped daikons around our tomatoes and mulched to add organic matter. We harvested bucket loads of tomatoes in this spot over winter. It’s obviously still a work in progress but it’s no longer rock solid, now we’ll layer with compost and cow manure and we’re ready for pumpkins.

I know I shouldn’t do it but there’s just something about rows of greens 😍we’re getting organised with the succession on our leafy greens, normally the aquaponics is our green machine but there’s talk of it being rejigged over summer so I want 0 lettuce down time. I am also going to keep going with the pak choi and see how far we get with it over the warmer months. Can you spot the fairy creeping in the background 🧚‍♀️

Freckles is one of my favourite lettuces. It’s a cos type with what looks like purple paint splotches over it. Last year when I grew it I thought I had plenty of seeds so I didn’t worry about saving any, I was pretty upset when I realised I didn’t have any left. But not to worry, nature did it for me and self sowed one of in the park next door (along with tomatoes and cosmos and parsley from our yard 🙈). I patiently waited for it to go to seed so I could get more seeds, hoped no one would knock it down or mow over it. I didn’t have high hopes but here we are. lots of times the kids would yell out ‘muuuum what are you doing’ as I’d collect the seeds as soon as they appeared. Freckles is back in the garden and I am going to save all the seeds this year!
