This week in the garden, has been a really mixed bag. We have had wind, hail, and glorious sun. From a high of 37C to a low of 18C. That's summer for you!
The garden has been a huge distraction from work this week, so a bit has happened.
- a load of rocks for bed edging
- a load of lovely smelly garden soil, to build some beds
- spraying the caterpillar infestation on the snapdragons
- deadheading
- picking the first tomato for the season
- giving away the first tomato of the season to my sister ( her normally huge summer vegi patch has fallen victim to a busy life).
- fixing the upturned rock edging from the echidna visit
- picking the last of the beetroot
Also worth a mention are the heirloom carrots with "personality". They have been total experiment, with a pack of seeds just thrown into the bed in late winter, and very little soil prep. Worth growing, but I will thin more and add some sand to the bed next time so they grow a little straighter
