Update on "The yard'

In the last few months since my last post we've planted the raspberrys (see post on raspberrys 27/7/1 )  and did lots of work in the garden, we planted some tomatoes, lettuce, watermelons, rocket, capsicum, chilli, beans, carrots, beetroot, and mangle-wurzel. We also harvested our wheat , pumpkins, onions, garlic, and some of our corn, tomatoes, and beans. In the holidays we mulched our native garden and fruit trees, then we made three pens for our sheep.

Onions

We looked up the month of May in our crop rotation plan and found that we are supposed to plant Onions etc. So we put dolomite in the soil (because our soil is acidic and onions like lime soil) and planted Onions, Garlic, Leeks, Shallots and Chives. We also had some space left so we planted the Onion family's natural companion plants, Carrots

Garlic
Leeks
