Almond Blossom

Scarecrow’s Log: 19:07:2009:

What’s happening in the garden?

Propagation:
Seeds:
With the ground damp from rain I’ve been scattering seeds around the edge beds…Calendulas, Anise Hyssop, Italian Parsley, while Dandelion seed heads have been dispatched to the chicken runs where any new seedlings will be gobbled up before the have a chance to get very big!

The first of the newly planted peas are popping up…here the Dwarf Blue Bantam Peas in the wicking tub (C) are just popping up so too are the Angela’s Blue Climbing Peas on the fenceline.

Potting up and Planting out:
Divided and put into a container, some newly sprouting

Lemon Balm from the Tank Bed by the Main Veg Garden chookrun gate.

New in the Garden that week:
Apart from the first of the Almond Blossom…there are Cauliflowers and Broccoli ready for picking!

Weekly Harvest Tally:
Doesn’t include Greens fed to the chooks on a daily basis or herbs picked for use in the kitchen for cooking or tea making.
Cauliflower Violet Sicilian***1040g

Plus a yummy mix of greens for soups/stirfries/salads…Kale, Lettuce, Watercress, Chives, Parsley, Sea Parsley, Soup Celery, Beetroot, Turnip and Swede Greens.

Plus 18 Eggs from the girls.
