September was a lovely month for some spring planting & more veggie bed preparation. A good lot of weeding and pruning was also had, with my new toy.
Along handled electric (corded) hedge trimmer; from you guessed it Bunning's the Ozito PHT410. It has a length of 2M, however the handle is solid and does not retract. Which is fine as it is quite sturdy. The head adjusts depending on what angle you need. I still had to use a small step ladder to get the top of my Star Jasmine to get it flat. For my first try at hedging with an electric implement I was pretty happy with the job overall.
I planted Sweet Corn and Butter Beans, I may have planted them a little to close, well actually in amongst each other. To use the corn as stabilisers for the beans.
I had Sweet Pea seeds so in they went as well, around the edge of the garden bed, nears the corn & beans. Too bring a little colour to the veggie bed. Can not wait for those to flower.
My little green friend the frog has returned this year which is nice to see, I was wondering where he got to. He has grown a bit and is living in my Swiss Chard. One must be careful when harvesting the Chard not to chop the frog.
My Snapdragon seeds I planted have not produced so much as a leaf. Might have to buy some already in a seedling tray.
