VEGE PATCH. What's growing in yours?

[silver]

Lemons are juicy

found another jap just starting up

put in a few plum cuttings cause I had to cut back a little bit of the tree

also some pineapple tops around a palm.... the broms seem to do alright in pine bark mulch... so why not hey

started off some tumeric lately... bought it at the veggie shop

bought ginger too...broke it up and let it heal over ready to plant..... and its now getting ready to shoot for me

soo... the ultimate sunny spot for my tumeric and ginger needs to be gotton ready now

its got a big white cedar stump there that I can't /don't feel like digging out

so... I've put down sticks, dirt, and green waste so far.
this will have a box built around it... then filled with dirt and planted up. That way this stump and the sticks can break down and fertilise the garden over time.

I've also cut back the brazillian cherry to feed it to other plants that I really want.... this step can be repeated many times over and over again

you can see the mulchative benefits of it

I also ripped out a bannana to create a sun window for the avocado that came up by itself.... always wanted an avocado.... then... bam... its here all of its own accord.

garden...like life's an adventure

All looking good mate :beer:

 

[Flowerpot]

Awesome sunny garden silver, you do good work out there to produce so much healthy food. :Y: :Y:

 

[silver]

I'm just looking for somewhere that I can rest a bit.... and just reach out n get a feed or a juice if I need it... straight from mother nature.
it doesn't have to be perfect... just tasty
I'm probably only 10% there..... but 75% along the road already, but hey... there's always next time if there's not enough time this time lol.

This years Kale off to good start, transplanted the leeks, and the dwarf eureka is going gangbusters (100 lemons). Don't know what happened to the photos?

Righto...
posts for the ginger bed (and tumeric eventually)

note the bit of reo on the fence now

these tomatoes will grow up that reo.... all special like too (wait n see)

anyway... took that long posting that I've put most of the sides on... just need to true that left front side a little.... level played up (if you can believe that )

 

[silver]

Getting ready to do those tomatoes.
marked out 4 two litre containers

cut em out and gave em holes to hang by

cut material circles

holes in centre need to be the smaller size rather than the larger(otherwise soil medium will get through)

then cut outwards from centre hole

got some twine for under $4 from bunnies

so.... all will be revealed later (on the school run now)

 

[silver]

Ok.... everthing was ready to go

soil, potting mix, peat moss, rotted cane mulch, and pulverised rooster booster

some well rotted cane mulch to use as a top cover against weeds (cause I used some real dirt in the mix as well)

Soo...almost bare root the plant

wrap the material around just above the roots

insert the leaves out from inside the bottle (be careful.... I snapped a few leaves.... shoulda bought the smaller ones)

carefully fill with soil mix and top off with rotted mulch

bugga.... gotta charge the phone

 

[silver]

It all starts with the first one (ever) hey

there.... it is done...
and all watered in too

and so.... the sun sets on another rarely finished job

just gotta tie them up as they grow..
and feed em...
we'll see hey

Verrrry interesting Silver Schultz!! erfect:

 

[silver]

Got a nice male pawpaw almost ready

tomatoes are turning upwards

and some mushies poppin up

first time I've ever noticed this one :/

 

[Jaros]

Great gardening mate.

 

[silver]

I'd probably be ok eating mushies photo #2
But I'll leave them so they turn into a mushroom ring next time round

 

[Flowerpot]

Why are you growing your marties upside down silver? Looks interesting and Im jealous as hell, because we dont grow any food over winter down here in the south brrrrrrrr.

 

[Jaros]

It still gets to 26-28 atm.

 

[Wishfull]

Like Flowerpot said why are you growing tomatoes upside down and " Please Explain " and would that work here down south ?

Also any tips on growing mushrooms, I don't eat thrm but Mrs Wishful does. I tried growing them from thise store kits but there has to be a cheeper way. There used to be heaps around where I live but not all that pops up is houses.

Edit:
Found this but not sure it would work here in our frosty climate.

Well Flowerpot & Wishfull, I just thought I'd try using some fence room that wouldn't usually give me anything. Just to see how it goes.. I seen it on utube and wanted to try it out myself.
perhaps it would work on the right wall down south.... out of the wind north facing sun trap area.
mushies are just coming up by themselves... not my green thumb at all, ground must be full of myceleum.

 

[Wishfull]

I'm thinking maybe a hot house is the only solution down this way unfortunately.

 

[Flowerpot]

Ahhhh I see silver... anything is worth a try for sure. You sure do have a great food garden. Well done. :Y:
