After hearing all about your garden when you were in Melb .. I really hope your carrots have karats :p
Lookin' good though .. just beware those bugs ( caterpillars are my pet pest - especially for anything green and leafy - it can be all gone in a matter of a day .. )
Nice roots ;)
Are you telling me I'll have to wait 4 months for produce if start a vegie garden? Sheesh. Better crack the whip on Mr Fixit to get his gardening mojo on.
Yours is looking good, though. And MUCH taller now than in July.
Patience M. The veg will taste all the more delicous for the wait. I hope you are keeping your brother update on the progress.
PS. We settled on Wed so have a busy weekend/week (life) ahead of us.
Oopsie - I meant 'delicious' and 'updated'
I have kept the link you gave for these vege garden beds a few months ago - we are hoping to follow in your footsteps sometime soon.
The inspiration from you is wonderful!
I love your raised bed! We are hoping to get something similar going too but so far it's just on the drawing board!! as been for sometime now
Progress can be slow so sometimes. What's in that huge tub thing besides carrots?
we have broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, spinach, sugar snap peas and leeks. I just hope *something* turns into a vegetable...
For those who are interested I got the bed from www.birdiesgardenproducts.com.au. Saw them on Gardening Australia and then advertised in their mag.
Now that spring is arriving you'll be producing produce in no time!
Your vegie garden looks great. Now that we're heading into Spring, you should be able to start harvesting your crop!
I'm intrigued. Why have you got the beds covered in straw?
Never seen that before.
Growing veges really is part of the slow food movement, isn't it?
Hi Isabelle! To answer your qu. this is a 'no dig' garden. Starting with a bed of crushed rock, then weed mat it has layers of soil and lucerne and requires no digging as such - you just push away a layer of lucerne and stick the plants in.
Fairlie: Yep, it is certainly S.L.O.W. I just wish they'd hurry up because I need to plant my summer vegies.
