General Update....

This post is a general garden update..... First we have some black Zucchini seeds sprouting this week....

Some new potatoes popping out of the soil in holes where I harvested my first crop for the season.... I'm just using spuds that I bought from the supermarket for cooking that shot in my pantry. I've been told that you should only used certified seed potatoes as they can be prone to disease but the ones that I've harvested thus far have been delicious and disease free so I'll keep doing it this way for a while...
My onions are coming along well and in a couple of weeks they should be ready for harvest...

The snow peas are still producing prolifically..... We get about 12 a night from 3 plants which is just plenty for our little family...

The dwarf beans are really finding their feet this week and I should hopefully see some flowers on them in the next week or two...

This year is my first attempt at growing celery and so far so good... These little plants are really coming along well....

My pineapple sage that I thought was dead after a very big frost about a month ago has found its second wind and has new shoots this week, yippee!!!!! This plant smells amazing and I can't wait to harvest my first leaves for a yummy Summer punch...

After raiding and propagating my sister's massive supply of common mint I now have it growing in my herb garden too....

I've also had a go at propagating some oregano. Making sure I had some roots attached I transplanted a couple of little runners into pots and after a couple of weeks have new shoots on each plant, so that was a success...

A new little garden beds has been built to house my purple climbing beans. I'm so excited about these ones and can't wait to cook my first harvest and watch them change colour...

My new raspberry bush has started to shoot.....

So has my new red delicious apple tree.....

and my new golden delicious/granny smith apple tree....

And my ornamental grape....

And my new pomegranate....

And my new cherry tree as well....

Phew... That was one hell of a post and if you made it this far well done!!!!!

Take Care :)
