Planting the Seeds for this years crop

The seeds from Eden Seeds arrived today so after school we got the kids to help plant them and put them in the greenhouse as we still can get frosts here.

Garden in Early Spring 2007

The lavander is just beautiful and is surviving well considering the lack of watering. The citrus has really put on a growth spurt and as soon as there is no risk of frost it will be getting a HUGE prune. Lilly loves collecting the eggs. Now the weather is warming the hens are laying again. They had stopped during the winter.



The hens are a mix of bantums and reds. The rosemary has passed the winter well.



The plum trees are budding! that's garlic in the bed and the peas are starting to flower.



We bought a cheap green house and are busy planting up the seeds. The flowering tree is a cherry plum, it produces tiny semi sour plums.The strawberries are starting to flower and the broccolli will also shortly be flowering.



The Mulberry Tree has fruit! the herb garden toook a bit of a battering through winter but the lemongrass is now starting to come back. The Herb garden need a severe weed! The Silverbeet grew well through the winter, the kids won't eat it but the hens love it.



The Celpar ( Celery tasting parsly) grew well through the winter and the Bok Coy is now going to seed. I'm hoping it will self seed again. The raspberry canes are shooting. The Rhubarb is flowering.. I never knew it did!



The Apricot tree is flowering as is the small plum. The cabbages are heading, Celery growing and the Cauliflower getting bigger.
