 Topic: So now what can I do...
Posted: 17 November 2007 at 7:22pm |
All my veges are planted and i've been feeding them regularly and weeding the gardens often - so there are no weeds at all. Now I have nothing to do out there, what can I do in the garden???

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

Make a water feature to go in your garden, or a scarecrow for your veges??

If you're like my DP, keep planting more things lol 
He loves his garden, and we've got all sorts growing out there now!
Some things are getting eaten, but it's all an experiment for us! We haven't given any of the plants fertilizer.

Companion plants are when you plant things together that encourage each other to grow. And I think discourage bugs by having plants bugs love next to plants bugs hate...

I think companion plants are plants that act as natural bug repellers when planted beside particular plants.
I only know coz a friend of mine recently planted some - can't tell you what kind but youc an probably google it.
I know nothing about gardening - my garden is becoming grass!I have been hassled about it- it is terrible! hubby and I have planned to work on it next weekend!
weather permitting!

I have just weeded out the vege garden that we inherited with this house - it was over grown. Have planted tomatoes and lettuces. I am a complete novice though, but hopefully I will learn. I am a vege garden virgin 
If you are looking for something extra to do, start a worm farm, they are great for all the food waste, if you have too much for the compost and the kids love feeding them!
