How are the vegies, everyone?
Would you loke a lend of Jess, my 4 1/2 year old Blue Cattle Dog. Looks good
in any garden except mine where she is trained to not be. Jim "MC" surftravelATyahooDOTcom wrote in message ... HELP! The possums have already discovered my patch and chewed / pulled a few seedlings apart!!! I have heard that some old loose/unstable fencing (about a meter high) around the garden should deter them from the greenery within?! Anyone had any succes with this or got any better ideas, as the fencing really takes away from the beauty of the garden! Cheers, Mick "MC" surftravelATyahooDOTcom wrote in message ... Thanks for the tips Len! The garden has been a breeze to set up and is composting down nicely! I have just had another HUGE day in the garden, after getting a heap of (cheap) seedlings from the Caboolture Markets. I have put in 5 different varieties of lettuce, some spinach, silverbeet, snow peas, beans, more parsley, some marigolds and petunias for colour, and some squash. Phew!!! Glad they're all in now ... and with no sign of frosts and nice warm days (and nights) of late, I'm hoping for the best! The other seedlings I put in about a week and a half ago are coming along nicely - slow, but there are signs of steady growth there! I must also add that I reckon (with my limited experience) the old blood and bone must be one of the best fertilisers around - I spread some on my parsely a couple of weeks ago and now they are the richest green colour I have ever seen (in any plant!) and taste an absolute treat! I've had success with it in other gardens also! Cheers again, Mick "len gardener" wrote in message news g'day mick, a long time since i have seen a sheet mulch garden started, way to go and too easy hey? hey if you aren't getting any frosts and got good sun in the garden area go for it you could be the first with summer season pickings, it'll probably come back to how warm the planting medium is as to how well the plants mature they may be slow but they are there for when spring comes. don't worry about too close together we all do that even after years the plants don't seem to mind. len snipped -- happy gardening 'it works for me it could work for you,' "in the end ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do" but consider others and the environment http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gardenlen1/ my e/mail addies have spam filters you should know what to delete before you send. |
