We planted heaps when we first moved here about 16 years ago and each year I ignore them and yet they still pop up every spring. I bet yours are going to be magnificent. xx<br />Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234467488696653117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-27793734996395645692017-10-19T16:54:28.915+11:002017-10-19T16:54:28.915+11:00Ahhhh I love that association.

Last week I would have told you that it was very dry and my veggie patch was dying. Now it's so very wet and the veggie patch is still dying! The past few days have been great weather for ducks and reading so I read Turtles All The Way Down (sad, beautiful but still with a hint of the manic pixie dream girl that I can't overlook) and started Jane Harper's Force of Nature which I am really enjoying.

I am off work today because I did not feel well in the morning, but I am working at home a bit. I have recently started growing some lambs lettuce and wild chicory for my tortoise and it is so nice to see the little seedlings grow! And sports bras are the best bras! :)Veronikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355072950243739240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-49546281457293818172017-10-15T08:07:25.654+11:002017-10-15T08:07:25.654+11:00I enjoy reading your posts about your garden, and ...I enjoy reading your posts about your garden, and get such pleasure from looking at your greenhouse! I love having a vegetable garden and take the opportunity to share the excitement and fun of planning and preparing with my kids. The oldest is now 12 and less interested, but my youngest is 4 and loves it! This year I have extended our regular planting and for the first time am growing a lot from seed (heirloom). The ritual of tending to seeds and beds is deeply rewarding. michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370822751034909522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-88047310653578781832017-10-14T15:20:21.416+11:002017-10-14T15:20:21.416+11:00That peony is just divine, and I would love a hand...That peony is just divine, and I would love a handful of fresh asparagus for dinner.

I love reading your farming news as much...Hi Kate,<br /><br />I love reading your farming news as much as your crafting news. <br /><br />I share your excitement about the new season, especially the sudden realisation that now we need to water again! Don't you love it when it rains just at the right time?<br /> <br />I can relate to your not knowing what to plant where. That's me too! My plans for companion planting were conflicting with my ideas about crop rotation even though my plot is tiny. I had some good advice last week - just plant it! Anywhere! You soon learn whether it needs to move or not.<br /><br />Usually I have plenty of seedlings to plant out by now but the season is slightly late this year around Adelaide and the soil was slow to warm up. Meanwhile, I've been clearing beds and preparing soil and this week I will plant out some tomato seedlings. My self-sown tomato plant already has flowers! <br /><br />I've heard that beans don't like being transplanted which is why I've always planted them in their final position but if you have any special secrets or successful techniques for transplanting bean seedlings, please share!<br /><br />My garden staples are spinach, silverbeet and rainbow chard (love those colours!), beetroot, lettuce, rocket, etc. lots of greens and herbs. Seasonal produce is usually capsicum, chilli, snow peas. I've had mixed results with brassicas and cucurbits - not sure if that is due to weather or soil conditions. There's always plenty to learn.<br /><br />This weekend is busy with family events and Monday is an expected heat spike so I will wait until the weather settles before planting out.<br /><br />I don't know about favourite thing for lunch but I am eating my favourite breakfast while reading your blog - toast with morrocan chilli jam, avocado, tomato, poached egg and black pepper. <br /><br />Good luck with all of your projects: farm, craft and home. Bon appetit! :-)Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-61486169473773253812017-10-14T05:34:39.888+11:002017-10-14T05:34:39.888+11:00Dear Kate, I'm so looking forward to following...Dear Kate, I'm so looking forward to following the growing journey of all the things you are planting. Last weekend I planted bulbs and wished them a safe sleep until the Spring. I do hope they grow for me. It is the first year I have grown them in my city garden, although my lovely Mum planted some for me a few years ago. I'm learning as I go along! Your green house is looking just wonderful! My favourite thing to eat for lunch is probably smoked salmon and avocado on toast! And no I definitely cannot imagine life without a sports bra. Have a wonderful weekend lovely!
