A new year, a new start

Due to the (expected) warm summer months, we are trialing working bees on Wednesday fortnightly at 6pm. Today had our first light session after a good dose of rain overnight and in the morning.
Tom and Liz planted broccoli and bok choi, and applied some liquid fertilizer - organic, but smelly stuff!!. We also did a bit of weeding and picking off apparent blighted leaves of tomatoes (the fruit of which is looking good!). So hopefully the blight does not take hold.

Silver beet, rhubarb, cucumber doing well, and many other plants beside - also a good head of cabbage on one of the plants.

And check out the apples and pears on the fruit trees at the back near the railway line. Many look ripe or almost ripe - I have just been picking up windfall from the ground so far. Help yourself to the produce carefully, but if taking regularly, do lend a hand in the garden please.

Sessions coming up: Wednesday 6pm: 24 Feb; 10 March, 24 March. See you there.
