So summer is around the corner...

... anyone else like me and love the garden???

I ahve a huge vege garden at my house (even bigger than the last one for those who have seen it), and I got a green house a while ago. I ahve tomatoes in pots all ready to go outside later once it is warmer. Cucumber and Zuchinni ready to go into the ground. Garlic is doing well (so people tell me first time growing it), Corn have just come through in trays. Peas just need to be planted out now. Beans are sowed. Chillis are in a pot in the greenhouse.

I have random other things in the green house as well.

My winter garden is also doing well. We have cabbage and Cauli that we ate tonight, Beetroot nearly ready and lettuce to eat too.

Let me just change that....

I love VEGE gardening.....I'm not too keen on general gardening

i'm not a big gardener but my husband is - i do love the fresh tomatoes though esp beefstake and cherry tomatoes! his year my husband is looking forward to getting into the new garden. and i am looking forward to reaping the rewards !

Any gardeners are welcome to come and sort out mine. I have flower gardens that desperately need attention, I'm tempted to get a spade and start again from scratch with the weediest one.

Oooohh good for you MummyBecks!

My new raised vege garden has done so well over winter....kept us in organic silverbeet and spinach all season, plus given us loads of cabbages (none of which I've actually eaten yet, have given away hehe), got some celery thats nearly ready as well as broad beans. Lettuces cam and went early. The cauli was AMAZING, only got 2 but boy gosh they were the best I"ve had if I do say so myself hehe)  Still have plenty of pak choy and cabbage to get through too. Will plant tomatoes soon, am sure they'll do so well in that spot. And I have lettuce seedlings coming up ready to transplant. Oh and I've planted some strawberries too. Hmmmm think that's it.

I'm not much of a gardener lol but am trying to experiment.

Still have my wildflower seeds to sow in our little meadow out the front, as well as trying to pretty up the place a bit with a few more patches of flowers.

The Christmas Plum has started to flower but we didn't get a chance to prune it so we'll be rewarded with MASSES of gorgeous plums.....all up about 15 feet off the ground grrrr lol. I'll get the rake out again tho and shake them down. Oh and send my stepdaughter up there to pick some too

DP & I both love our gardening. We have a peach tree, feijoa(sp) tree, lemon tree. We did have a plum tree but DP cut it down :( Hopefully we will get lots of peaches this year. We just need BEES

We also have an empty vege garden at the moment because the cat kept digging it up & going toiliet in it.

We are wanting to get a cover for it so no cats can get it. Does anyone have any ideas of what we can use for a cover? We were thinking chicken wire stuff, but i dont really know if that will work, also what did you use to raise it? Thanks

I like vege gardening, DH not so much and thinks it looks ugly so all our vege beds are now garden beds....

Going to get a couple of troughs to plant out with a few things though. Just need to think about the order I plant in so that I can have a variety of things in a small space throughout summer.
