A decorative, edible garden - via "The daily waffle" blog
... a bloody lot better now that we have had some rain, not to mention the chicken poo(and who knows what else I spread through the gardens after our eventful Wednesday morning)! The Vegie garden is looking lush, the citrus trees have given us our first few lemons and delicious oranges, and the natives are certainly looking more awake.
I hope this rain keeps up now though. We're off to the nursery this week for some climbing beans and some other root vegies... I've made the decision to take full advantage of the gardens this year and plant a decorative patch with purple cabbages and other colourful vegies in the front gardens as well. We just need a load of manure and soil and I'm ready to go - I'm going to make the most of the rain this winter and plant vegies EVERYWHERE! I'm hoping it will add a little ompf to the soil when I dig in the left-overs over spring before we plant up our spring garden. I'm starting to think I should order my bulbs too... maybe next weeks job x
A friend was telling me that she can see a lot of the saplings on the ridge opposite her house dying due to lack of water over the summer - :( I hope they make a quick recovery with the rain we have had today x
Back next week to bitch about The Budget and Julia Gillard... Oh yes - how is this gardening related? She's a "prickle" in my arse at the moment! (that's providing we are all still here next week after The Rapture/ Judgement day).
Thank you - thank you, you've been great! I'm here till Monday, Ha hahahaha!
Mwwwwwahhh, Mwwwwwahhhh, Mwwwwahhhh
