Being out in the garden is one of my favorite things to do.
So today I spent most of the day outside. It was a beautiful spring day with the temperature just right. With sun screen on, hat, sunnies, shorts n t shirt and boots I was set.
A couple of years ago we put in birdies raised garden bed and started to grow some vegetables. I set up a watering drip line on a tap timer and mulched the bed with straw. It was so rewarding! So then I decided to get another garden bed last spring extended the watering system and grew more varieties and had a bumper season. So early this spring I planted a good variety of veggies all from seeds including cherry tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, beetroot, carrots, cucumber, beans on a climbing frame and somes herbs of parsley, corriander and basil. I also got some strawberries in a pot with a watering chamber at the bottom, as strawberries, I was reading don't like to be watered from the top.
The beds are all full and I'm starting to think I'd like another! .... But that will involve a good deal of planning. The lettuce grew really fast and we enjoyed it, but then suddenly it had gone to seed. So a visit to the nursey was number one priority today. I got some lettuce seeds as well as some seedlings, and then I saw some snow peas so I got them also, and planned to set up a climbing frame for them. I
 also got some more strawberries and a blueberry plant and then .......I saw a grape vine so I decided that would be good out on the back verandah. Then I saw .....some flowers .......snapdragons cause 
they alway remind me of my mum and some other flowers but I can't remember their name!

Little tomatoes 

That meant quite a lot of planting and moving around some other plants. I'm a little bit tired now but looking forward to another bumper season from the veggie patch!
