July 2011

Why doth the Lord fail me? no really, none of my seeds have germinated, dam! think the windowsill is too hot, will try again, this time will put the propagators in the GH, we've had such a hot month, Ive had trouble with most of my veggies drying out and not much growing going on, this time last year my veggie patch was like a jungle but as we've had no rain this year everything looks very miserable!
Ive planted some more green beans, I might get lucky this time.

For some good news, a beautiful thing is happening, the water lilly I planted last year has given its first flower

And my first butterfly in the garden

June 2011

Planted: Corn, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflowers.
Sowed: Carrots, spring onions, beetroot, okra.

A very hot and very wet month.  Apart from a fox getting into the garden and chasing all the chooks around I have nothing much to say! and that is that!
