Wonderful @Oaktree

I need to plant my celery and parsley seedlings

well done @Oaktree reminded my of apple cucumbers for some reason. Not seen in shops for years. think use plant cucumbers in mounds, I remember flowers. were only burpless and apple ones like 50 years ago lol . No lebanese or continental

@Oaktree well done. Enjoy fresh good dinner

Nyum Nyum @Meowmy So fulfilling eating from one's garden ... yesterday we had kiev and salad with 3 vegies from garden and son gave a tomato.

Good to see you.

Hi @Oaktree

That's awesome! Your gardening skills are really coming along. My husband looks after our garden and bought some new little trees on the weekend. My job is to make sure our naughty dog doesn't go and dig them out during the day! I was out there this morning on my treadmill and saw him try to sneak over. I caught him have a sniff and almost about to dig. This boy is 11 years old but really never grown up!

Love hearing your updates

Hi guys,

Did I mention that a couple of weeks ago I ordered some hexagonal raised garden beds online? I got these last week and I have half assembled them. The rest of the assembly needs to wait till I place them out in the garden because I have no room to store them inside if they are fully assembled. I got my yearly rates notice today and I am entitled to two cubic metres of compost free from the council. I have asked on my Church Facebook page for a couple of people to give me their vouchers so I can fill my beds for free with compost. Then I just have to get some kind person with a trailer to help me to collect it all. Hopefully that all works out in my favour. Today I got out in the garden and sprinkled some blood and bone around my plants. Hopefully that gives them a bit of a boost. My rhubarb is still alive, I planted it about 3 weeks ago or so but I keep finding caterpillars munching on it annoyingly. Hopefully it all survives. I think two of the plants definitely will as they have new leaves growing. Not sure about the others though. I know you don’t need many rhubarb plants because it gets big but I absolutely love rhubarb! I don’t think there is such a thing as too much. Unfortunately I have to wait a couple of years to harvest any 😥. I got all my plants out of the greenhouse today as it has been a nice day so now I need to go tuck them back away.
What have you got growing in your garden at the moment? Tell me all about it please.

@Oaktree hey Meggie, your garden sounds exciting, full of life and positive energy. Hope you get the composition done your way. Take care Enjoy the evening.

.. I could say soursobs .. re garden ok I just did @Oaktree lol mowed lawn first time in 3 months other day ? theres some sort of lavender from last people here, turpentine plant people tell me, an oleander , few un pruned rose bushes

I havent got around to doing anything myself yet, looking at herb garden and couple lemon trees for starters.

once rhubarb gets going like weeds, will self seed and keep growing forever even w no watering lol

Good planning @Oaktree your raised compost beds should be fantastic for vegies. In the last couple of days I've planted my celery seedlings and some (hopefully colourful) perennials including a couple of native daisies.
