So far this year I have a load of red cabbage seedlings in one of me propagators and my tomatoes (moneymaker) are popping up too.
Just sown some cauli, savoy cabbage and parsnips too...and I have run out of mini-propagators! Most people have houseplants and ornaments on their windowsills, I have propagators!

It's still a bit early up this way. All we've got in is some kale, leeks and garlic from last year. But the rotavating is done, my new windbreaking hedge is planted (30 meters of it) and as soon as it dries out and warms through we'll be planting the early beans and peas and filling the greenhouse shelves (and the father-in-law's too!!).
Those seeglings look nearly ready to prick out. (stop laughing stormy).

They came up so damned quickly and the weather is far too wet to sort the field out! Still Mike will nick the works tractor cut the truf, remove it then we can rotavate the field in sections as we need it.

Lucky lot.  We've got the beginnings of spring and this means one thing.....Wiccans! (oops!) I mean Bunnies!  So while your all having fun planting, I'll be zeroing in my telescopic sights on the air rifle. I've also got to clean the greenhouse and get all that algae off the glass and clean everything down ready for the seed trays. I also have to get rid of all the dead leaves off the grapevine and look around for a black grape vine to plant opposite it. Maybe woolies will sell them again. I've bought some lillies (bulbs) and some climbing French (argghh! Bloody French!) beans and some nasturtiums. 4 Monterey cypress trees to replace the leylandii blown down in the gales and a twisted willow to go with my intellect. ;D Mick. |

I planted 28 grape vines last year as an experiment, half black (Triomph D'Alcase) and half white (Madelene Angevine). Hopefully this year we'll get some good growth and grapes next. We're lucky not to have rabbit around here - just giant mutant ninja slugs.

I've got a punnet of baby globe carrots in - not sure if they'll be worth the effort as they are tiny, but I don't have a suitable spot to put decent sized carrots in at the moment. I've a big rectangular pot overflowing with lettuce - growing fast though there's one that looks like it is running to seed already - and a small one with some perpetual spinach. The spinach was too long in the shop pot so its not doing too flash, hopefully it will pick up.
I don't know what else to plant at the moment as mostly its root veggies and it will take a year to prepare the soil for them. its very hard and full of clay. Unless I try one of those no-dig gardens with the straw and bought compost. I'll have to go get the Yates Garden Guide out and check the calendar, and write myself some reminders so that I get everything else in the ground in time. I have some packets of seed leftover from our old house....
