So I planted my first batch of spring seeds a few days ago as the weather seems to be warmer and the fruit trees are starting to blossom!
Dill
thyme
lettuce leaf basil
sage
walbergia
parcel
yellow stuffed tomatoes
tigerella
black salsify
butter crunch
vulgaris cress (natural dead end crop)
mesclun
grande rapid lettuce
heirloom variety tomatoes
black nightshade
nasturtium (edible flower, whole plant actually)
capsicum heirloom varieties
upland cress
rocket
sunflowers (giant russian)
stupice (good for low sun)
green tigerella tomatoes (big yield)
lucerne sequel (green manure)
crimson forest onions
indigo rose tomatoes
winged beans (entirely edible)
salad burnet (tastes a bit like cucumber apparently.)
yellow and red pear tomatoes
summer savoury (peppery)
snow white tomatoes
pepino (melon pear)
I think I should invest in a patio tomato plant also...
My new batch of seeds arrived in the mail- i think i still have a few more to arrive- and my pepino cuttings!
I emptied out some pots. Harvesting the bolted rocket, and bitter black mustard, and giving up on the basil i attempted to overwinter. One basil DID overwinter, in the tiniest pot. I dunno how but it did! So that will have a head start this year, i will collect seeds from it- perhaps its genetically hardy!(then it died...at the very end!)
I will do a lasagna pot method. Newspaper in the bottom, then layers of egg shells and banana peel mainly and other scraps, and newspaper. Then a handful of worms, and mostly done compost for the top layer. This will hopefully set the tomatoes up- which I intend to plant in there.
I repotted some strawberry runners into a vertical bottle garden also.
Took many hours- but not much to show. All in a days work!
