Its the first day of spring and after a week of beautiful mild, sunny, wind free days, its pouring down and its cold and blowing a gale. Still, the garden's loving it. As you can see I fitted exclusion netting last week. We are already getting visits from those pesky Cabbage White Butterfies and Whiteflies. I sprayed the Brassicas with Bacillus thuringiensis before fitting the nets to kill off a few caterpillars that had hatched and were starting to make a meal of my cauliflowers. The light feeder bed is getting into a higher gear and I am harvesting lettuce and silverbeet at the moment. I have planted my onions and a couple of replacement lettuce and the bed is full again. |
This website's objective is to show how nutrient dense, healthy, organic vegetables are grown sustainably in my garden. All the vegetables I grow are described including how seeds are propagated and plants grown. Pest control, crop harvesting and food preservation are described where relevant. My methods are no-dig using homemade compost as a top dressing to maintain soil health and an ideal environment in which to grow vegetables...........................John Ashworth. 29th April 2019.
