Winter planting
Some background, I am in the southern hemisphere in an area that has winter
frost but not snow so some veges grow well right through winter. Most of my winter veges (brassicas, lettuce, etc) are doing well in their seed trays and will go out in the next week or so weather permitting. For the direct-sown types I got garlic, peas and broad beans in a couple of weeks ago. We have had some nice rain and it has been warm to mild so they are doing well. I also had a brainwave, I put net over the ground to stop various diggers from ruining my seeds and seedlings. Worked just fine. Except the broad beans have grown through the net where it hangs down in several places and now I have to tease them back out of it. David PS The pups (some of the diggers) have now doubled their weight since we got them. I did not think that I would volunteer again for having toddlers around unless I could hand them back to mum but somehow that's how it is. They are into everything, so full of life and energy and fun, joyfully destroying without malice. New pics are available for those who care. http://s1086.photobucket.com/albums/...20and%20birds/ D |
