Having harvested my potato patch I got about 5-7KG of spud. They are sitting in the dark waiting to be used. They range from the tiny spud; about the size of a pea to a decent 500g.
I have renewed the spud patch with compost & manure ready for replanting. Cucumbers, capsicum, leeks, purple carrots, lemon basil now take up the patch.
I grabbed 3 corn cobs but unfortunately 2 of them had corn grub, but the 1 that was good tasted great. I didn’t even cook it, just shaved the kernels into a salad.
I have new Sunflower’s sprouting to be planted just before Xmas. Once again I have planted the wrong beans. I want to grow small compact bushes, but I keep getting the wrong plants/seeds. Now I have planted long green beans but they are of the viny variety.
I let my green coral lettuce go to seed and have collected what should be enough seeds to last a year.
The dogbane I planted is working a treat, turns out it also helps to repel possums too. It has just started to flower and appears to be growing a lot each day.
