Gardeninks!

...in a manner of speaking, I've gone berserk this weekend planting some seeds for the new garden that saluqi and I will be constructing at her and faxon's new property. The place I'm living at now has a very dinky potting shed, so I'm using that to start things off. I've been updating the MyFolia log - if anyone other than kightp also has a journal there, give me a shout-out. :-)

I've planted peas, tomatoes, leeks, beans, celery and onions. I forgot to get some corn seeds yesterday, so I'll be off to do that now. I also got what bean seeds were available from the health food shop at Belconnen markets, and the beans are all the flat kind, which aren't my favourite. Still, hopefully they'll grow, and I might order some nice round French beans as well.

I'm planting all the seeds into potting mix and growing them on as much as possible. Things like peas and beans can be directly sown, but we had variable results with that last year, due to the depredations of bloody earwigs.

Off for decadent lunch (I suppose it's too late to call it "brunch" now)!
