Steps wrote: What do you intend to plant..? My winter garden was Cabbage , broccoli cali, radish in between, try get away with a dwarf butter bean or topcrop. Spinch silver beet, beetroot, lettuce Carrots take a lot of space very slow to mature and very cheap in the shop. The brassicas have a good 3 month to mature..winter no caterpillars/ white butterfly. Chop and freeze for summer. A few of the stapler herbs ? Im still taking the bulbous oxcellus out of our patch.. few more popped up after that should be clean. soil clean of all the other weeds now. |
Steps wrote: now a wind break/neighbours cat proofer Never mind the wind break.... cat proofer .. F ing bloody cats Can sort stink bugs, snails , white butterfly, weeds and birds etc.. but bloody cats..... The birds a blackbirds and thrush can get very friendly after a while and take out most of the bugs. But the cats scare them off.. Nothing worse than going to pick a few veggies and the whole satisfying experience/ achievement is totally soiled by F ing cat 5h1t and the smell , espec after a light shower/ rain. Hi Steps Give me a few minutes and i will post in "the kitchen" a nice recipe for your garden problem....., was thinking a light garlic/thyme/soya marinade stuff with some of your garden fresh rosemary,lemon panko crust (remove fluff first of course)and a nice brandy/mustard cream sauce....? thoughts so far? (I've heard it taste like chicken!!!) I know Bazza (OBE) has plenty of baby potatos & fresh mint and bok choy in his garden! Vinnie |
