Yesterday I bought some straw, manure and seed raising mix for this seasons vege patch. Today I potted up, in an egg carton mind you, some seeds for Tomatoes, Capsicum, Broccoli and Lettuce. The carton is sitting in my mini greenhouse with the lid on. There's not much to show, so no pics.
I have also bagged up my potatoes. 5 bags with 2 potatoes each, 8 are the Nicola variety and the other 2 are Cream spuds. These 2 are from the supermarket, so I will see what happens with them. The others are certified seed spuds.
Interesting about potatoes - they say you HAVE to use certified seed spuds in order to grow disease free produce. The company I bought them from is heavy into Heirloom seeds - those that are free polinated without any genetic mods, etc. You'd think spuds would be the same deal. Surely in this day and age the spuds you buy at the supermarket would be disease free? Hhhmmm Now to put them in a sunny spot in the front yard.
I will also be re-doing the 4 vege beds out the front for pumpkins, zucchini, the broccoli, tomato and capsicum seedlings. I also have another $4 upside down container for tomatoes. This I will be using for Tigrella variety.... Just bought 3 seedlings - they should arrive late this week or early next week. I also bought some corn seeds - will try those up against the fence in the backyard - hopefully the dogs will leave them alone.....
