Today I finally got around to mostly sorting out the front yard vege patch after winter. The grass around them was clipped down and then put into the beds. I think this will be ok and will provide some green manure. After all it all breaks down in the compost bin doesn't it?
I have 2 beds nearly ready for some seeds to go in. They still need another layer of compost and straw and then they'll ready. The other 2 beds have yet to be redone - they both have flowering poppies that were planted last year growing strongly.
I will put in tomatoes, pumpkins from some seeds I saved from bought one, zucchini again and broccoli. Maybe some capsicum too - if the seeds germinate. I received the tomato seedlings the other day so they need to be planted out soon too. I want to try doing one upside down and still need to find a place to hang it. Maybe on the clothesline in the centre.
I also got my corn seeds. These I will plant out at the end of the month into filled cardboard boxes. Since they take only 12 weeks from planting to harvest this should not a problem, at least that's what I hope. I think I will put these out the back along the fence - hopefully the dogs won't dig into them.
My planted out potatoes seem to be doing their thing. The seed spuds are anyway. The couple I kept from the supermarket have yet to rear their heads above the dirt.
