I'm pretty much on track. You? Reasonably... much more prepared this year than the previous couple years as I have the hothouse, shade house and open veggie garden areas all established. Still need a dedicated propagation area though, tired of trying to raise seedlings on an ad-hoc basis. Planted a few more fruit trees this week, all apples this time - Bramley and three other cider apples (exact varieties escape me ATM). That makes about 36 fruits trees in the orchard now. I hope we (here in TAS) don't have another odd spring, summer and autumn... it was quite mild last year and did strange things to some crops. Already many trees here are budding, which is a little early once again. Hmm. I'm in Queensland and we have trees in bloom, passion fruiflowers on the vines, baby snakes all over the place (hit three with the mower) and birds nesting. It is weird - spring is two months early. My quinces are quickly pushing out leaves now - way too soon for here. The rhubarb is starting to flower as well, though I can't recall when exactly they're supposed to flower... seems early to me though. |
