Earlier this week I filled up one bed with compost, manure and soil. I also got 4 circular frames for $5 each - I thought was a good bargain.
Bed #5 has 2 frames in it on the south side closest to the cars and I have put in some bean seeds around them. The rest of the bed will get carrot seeds. I'd show you a pic but we all know what dirt looks like, don't we.
I have some left over potatoes from last year that were really too small to cook. I will put these in with the capsicums. Hopefully they will do their thing and give me some bigger spuds.
I have noticed that birds are loving the damp soil and are scratching the straw all over the place. A couple of peas have been eaten and so has 1 more capsicum. I found a slime trail so the culprit is snails. I know exactly how to fix them - bait. I thought the last lot of bait I put out would have done the trick.
The weather here has been cold and wet this week. Great for the garden as I don't have to water, but it means I have less chance of getting bed #6 filled. Early next week is supposed to be dry so I should be able to do it then.
