Reasons i like living where i do #1
because i can get this close to black swans right at the end of my street, which is about 2 houses away.
Trees Please!
Well, ok, so I am going a little nuts today writing posts about my garden. That’s what seems to happen when I start something new that I have been meaning to do for ages. I’ve been thinking about doing some gardening for ages, but keep putting it off. Why? Well, I just find other things to do – work, facebook, looking around networks, watching TV (loving crime shows on UKTV at the moment), but today, a lovely sunny autumn day, my husband urged me again to finally plant the mini garden boxes he bought for me and I finally did.
I also finally took photos of my little lemon tree that I was given for my 30th birthday last year and the little blueberry plant I bought from the Yarra Valley Farmers’ Market (not really a Farmers’ Market but more about that later), so here they are. So herein begins my record of my growing garden. There. Got started. Finally!
Mushrooms In A Box
Apparently it’s easy to grow your own mushrooms at home, and it seems to be so. All I had to do was open the Mushroom kit, spread some covering across the frosty looking compost, spray it with a light mist of water, and leave it in a cool, darkish place – we put it on the BBQ in the garage. Have to spray it every 2-3 days and should have some yummy mushies in about 10 days…stay tuned…
(Kit came from Reject Shop via Mother-in-law)
Gotta Start Somewhere…
…and so it is here with two small Mr Fothergill’s boxes – one a mini herb garden and one a mini vegetable garden of mixed salad leaves. My husband grabbed them from Bunnings for me one day when he was out on his lunch break and they have been sitting in the garage until about an hour ago. Just hadn’t gotten around to opening them up, which is a shame really as they were super easy and super quick to set up! Everything was in the box, it was simply a matter of opening the bag of compost, putting it in the foam box, sprinkling the seeds on, putting in the labels, covering the seeds with a bit more compost and spraying lightly with water. Done in 5 minutes! Anyway, this is my first real attempt to grow anything so see how it goes…
Bread stall @ bundoora farmers market
I got a beautiful loaf of sourdough bread for $5.
