Garden in Progress
Over Christmas we managed to finally get some real garden work done:
Getting rid of all the dandelions with their gigantic roots!
Measuring out the path -
- filling in the redwood mulch...
....completed!
Clearing the area for the table (to come).
And the last fill in...
DONE!!

Carnations
These carnations have had a hard life - the constant wind and storms are blowing them over - they still flower though:)
I hope they go ok
This is my best pea:) The others are ok but this is the best one - healthy green and growing ok I think...
I love the herb spiral:D
Check them out - they grow every day!
The coriander is really starting to come on - so is the dill
I thought basil was hard to grow^^

Mysterious intruders
These guys are growing under my fence from the next door neighbours house. I haven't ripped them out because they have such nice flowers. I'm sure they are weeds, but at least they are pretty ones^^
Scarlet runners
They are growing all the time but I think I have to do something about those spots down below. If it stopped raining here I think that would help a lot!
Herb update
The spiral goes from strength to strength:)
Mint, parsley going crazy
Check out that sage!
Chervil, dill & coriander coming on well:)

Teeny tiny
There's a rather small lime tree under the mulberry tree. I didn't think it would do much but you never know. Check out the tiny limes starting to form here:)
1 out of 5
I have one radish that is going gangbusters! I think the slugs have kiboshed the rest unfortunately.
Rethinking
After getting some very good advice about overcrowding I moved the marjoram that I transplanted yesterday from here...
...to here... behind the chamomile, and I still have room to plant some chives:)
Bad building day :(
I had plans to build another garden bed and get some much needed weeding done but a big storm came over and that was that ><
I did however work away in the garage and cut all the timber I need to build it. This will have to wait for a nicer day but at least the prep work is done:)

Recycling^^
I cleaned out under the mulberry tree and made a space for the worm farm & the compost bin:)
That should give them something to munch on:)

Freebies!
I got these for free - they didn't look so good when I first got them but some regular water and these lettuce are looking very edible^^
So is this spinach & chard:)
