Growth, growth and more growth

The patch is filling up. Three weeks does make a difference in the garden.

Today we had some of the lettuce and coriander. I have also picked the baby spinach. The slugs or something seemed to have had a good munch too. So I am not sure the plants will come back.

Oranges are due to start picking in two weeks. Some are starting to fall from the tree. The possums are having a feast on those that have fallen. Hm mm.. Possums. What can one do to deter possums? Many birds visit the orange tree - check out the most common visitor seeking the orange blossom and getting the oranges ready for next year!







The leeks progress interests me. They don't seem to be doing anything. When I purchased the punnet there were eight clumps. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to separate out the individaul plants (6-8) in each clump when I transferred them to the patch. Advise on this would be good.


This week there will be some feeding and pest control....

oh and a few of the asparagus seeds have germinated... very slow growing.
Soon I will be picking up my strawberries, blue berry and avacado plant from the post office. Can't wait :)
