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.

The Raspberrys

Just planted tomatoes

Watermelons

Mangle-Wurzels

Corn

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

Success! First Season's Fruits

Hello all!
We have had a lot of success with our gardens. Here is a photo of some of our garlic. It was enjoyed along with the onions and other veggies harvested.


The chook pen shown here was over the top garden for about a week and over the bottom for a month. We hope that the chook droppings and the turned up dirt will help the overall production for our second season.

Hi! I'm Back!

Hello, Hello! Sorry I have been so taken up with my Gardening I forgot about letting all you know! As a result I now have heaps of things to tell.
OK. Firstly We started a new garden, the "bottom" garden, with more Pak Choi, Onion, Garlic, Peas and even (something new...) Capsicum. Here are the photos of this garden:
