Child of the Planet

 

 Tray stood in bath water

Not just for tomatoes. We have a lot of invasive bamboo around town, so I try to do my bit to beat back the scourge. This year I'm attempting trellis for beans and such-like made from the woven lengths. 

I'm going to try off setting the outside to rows, I'll have less plants but there should be more room for roots and might make harvesting easier   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Been raining like crazy today and I found this thing lurking on a branch as I went out to check on the water tank. Kinda reminds me of Little Shop of horrors

The first lot of chickpeas in bed one have finished, so in the stubble, I planted carrots, cabbage, fennel, and spinach. The capsicums should be finished soon, and then I'll put the cover back on the mini tunnel house. Tomatos almost done in bed two, planted out some beans and mustard to grow over the winter. In bed three, the soy plants are almost done, and I like the layer of leaf mulch that they leave behind. I've left the stalks and roots in the soil to rot. I've sown some mustard and peas in the soil for green manure. Last of the corn has attracted some sort of black insect so I"m not expecting much from the last couple of plants. The beans I planted among the stalks are still going. I've finished the summer lettuce shade house and I'm hoping to grow snow peas over the winter. In the summer I'll grow cucumbers to block out some of the solar.

 The ones planted first seem to be doing well...
