| It was a dull, overcast day, today. Just perfect for the next stage of my preparation for Spring in my garden. This year I am not so much growing vegetables for our kitchen. The quality I produce is not as good as the grocer can provide. I am also pretty weak at spreading the bounty, and really, what can one do with a dozen cauliflowers which all mature in the same week! |

| So, mainly this year, I have planted things whoich my grad-daughters can pick and eat on the spot. Hence, strawbwrries, peas, beans, raspberries, blueberries, cucumbers. Other things. like Spring Onions and Garlic, I am growing for the flowers! The figs are for me!! I trellissed-up for my tomatoes. Transplanted by bean seedlings, and planted seeds for cucumber, zucchini, and pumpkin. |

Your garden looks and sounds wonderful! Yes, Mama and Duncan are doing the crossword, They were always in it together!
Planting vegetables that your grand daughter can pick sounds like the perfect type of veggie garden Julie.
It does, I agree, Joe. The ypoungest one already goes out each morning and picks a ripe Cumquat to chew whole.
My parents, back in the day, would have put most of the garden produce into the freezer.
Hey you've got a little fig on your tree already!
I got nuthin.
Spring is coming to our garden. The grass is growing again and I did the first mow for the season yesterday and today. I am also beginning to think about what to put in our mountain vege patch … I rather liked the zucchinis from last year. We have planted some herbs, lettuce, spinach and asian greens out in our little garden at Clandulla. They will go fine at the moment but I am not sure about when the summer heat and dry hits … we not being out there to water regularly.
I like to have just a little bit of stuff, like salad greens, herbs and cherry tomatoes.At my success rate with gardening growing veges doesn't save me a penny.
Oh, no. Growing ones own veggies does not save money. Not in the least. It is either feast or famine. Carrots are cheap; Peas are cheap. Cucumbers are cheap. Everything that is popular and easy to grow, is cheap. I have a veggie garden as a hobby. Most of the eating is done raw, and sitting on the edges of the garden-beds.
