Gardening

I am not a great gardener or even a good one but I do like fresh produce and have dabbled in things in the garden for some time.

That's all about to change (fingers crossed)

Last year when we came home from China our house sitters had ginger and parsley growing up the side of the house as well as tomatoes. We have grown a few more tomatoes in the same spot and that is where my egg plant is doing well. Have had beans got a few of them and we did have a couple of lots of corn but I think it is out of sight out of mind and the plants around there probably didn't get enough water.
My recent buy, garden beds even delivered free. This morning we set the small one up in place, the one on the left will end up there and the other three probably along the fence line further to the left.
Bunnings was very busy this morning , We had to queue toi get into the place! Seemed that everybody was doing some work in the garden. Cardboard in the bottom to keep the weeds at bay.

Headed straight to the garden area and picked up four bags of potting mix, another four bags of soil and then a special one with growth hormones etc and finally some cane mulch. Then the plants, what to select? Went with another tomato we have four already doing well, capsicum green and some small red ones, spinach and silver beet, and climbing beans. Added the soil etc and watered it in and retired to the lounge as it was to be 33 degrees, plants would go in later.
Didn't fill it but allowing for good growth?? They even got a good drink so off to a good start.
