The Lost Seed

Lots of things have happened since I last recorded things.  

I have planted out a few Pigeon Peas.  Both the small and large ones are sprouting.  I also planted out the eggplants and Madagascar beans.  It seems only 2 are going to survive, of the 3 which sprouted.  

Some of the Echinacia has sprouted, I think I need to move them into the sun, they seem to be refusing to get any bigger.  Along with 2 of the First Fleet lettuces.  

My cucumbers are flowering and getting little cucs on them.  The zucchinies seem to be doing the same.  

I put some of Judy's triffid schalotts into the main herb bed.  And the chard and greens are looking happy.  

The tomatoes have recovered from the hail.  

Mors comfrey seems to be sprouting in the pot I took the last lot of cuttings from so that is good.  Can't have too much I would say.  

Oh I have some lemongrass and Jerusalem artichokes still waiting for me to decide where to put them :) 

That is the problem with having the space but not actualy garden beds prepared.  I'm doing what I can when I can but everything grows so fast. 

Anyways.....  All of those zucchs, eggplants and possibly tomatoes that are doing so well will probably be replaced as I finally have some open pollinated seed from The Lost seed shop, and a few more coming from a swap.  So I would prefer to have the ones I can save seed from going.  But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.  

On the 30th of Sep I got my batch of seeds.  

Some Climbing Beans, Black Beauty Zucchs, Golden Nugget pumpkin (BUSH VARIETY!!)  some corn and snow peas.  

I have sewn some corn out along the back fence to act as a screen, and also put some beans around the area to grow up the corn and fence.  But the corn is meant to get very tall so I hope that doesn't become a problem and someone complains.  If I have to I will trim it but we will see.  

I have been on a seed sewing frenzy, I couldnt resist.  

Done some pumpkins, zucchs, eggplant, more first fleet lettuce, Marigolds and tonight I did some chilli and capsicums.  

I did some dwarf sweet corn out the front, not to save seed from, so I will decide whats happening when I see how my new corn goes.  Beans are likley to go out the front too, I'll put them wherever I can as they will be easy to keep frozen.

I have noticed we have a little green tree frog frequenting my yard, he must be happy with my progress :)  

I'll take some photos to keep track of my changes, things are still all over the place but I am getting somewhere !!

I think that is just about everything.  I will be getting some more stuff in the mail as I have shared some of my package around to others :)

It is looking to be an exciting spring/summer.
