Sowing for spring began this week! Check out the many different and sustainable methods we've attempted in order to raise healthy seedlings! We've also began mowing in the peas and the beans on the top bed in preparation for direct seed sowing next week!
Making a note of what seeds go into which type of mix
the different combinations of seedling mixes we conjured up
newspaper "punnets"--what i thought was going to be difficult origami turned out to be very fun and easy
more sowing
what we sowed in for this batch: tomato quickpick & roma, eggplant, leek, radish, capsicum, zuchinni and pumpkin
the greenhouse effect
Sarah and a turnip
flowering too soon
nitrogen fixing nodules (white globular stuff on the roots) from the beans and the peas
a forkful of peas
to be mowed in and composted in the soil
See you all next week!

Love the photos! It's looking terrific!
thanks for dropping by jenn!
yeah it's great to see the garden coming along so well. weather's been good too. can't wait for spring really...but can't be too optimistic though, cockys have been poking fun at us of late, ripping out things here and there as if just to annoy us, or maybe remind us that the garden's part of a larger ecosystem...maybe the former.
