It appears I am finally having some success growing thyme
It appears I am finally having some success growing thyme
The tiny Warrigal greens shoot that'd self seeded itself in a crack and I took home in half a plastic water bottle I found nearby has embraced the kitchen window area and is thriving.
I probably need to put it in a "proper" pot real soon but I'm kind of worried that if I change tactics at this point I may make things worse.
Two new wicking beds now completed, and I'm letting the soil settle, and the inevitable weed seeds to germinate. I've ordered tomato & chilli seeds, but I fear they will arrive too late to be of much use this year.
Today, I will go out in search of nasturtiums and/or marigolds for #CompanionPlanting.

The lovely family running http://www.seedfreaks.com.au are shutting up online sales for a couple years as of Oct 1st so that they can look after their toddler. So if you want some fantastic heirloom and heritage seeds, scoot over and order fast.

The first Melbourne "Fool's spring" of the year has been just gorgeous.
But a warning to new gardeners; DO NOT plant your spring/summer plants yet.
Ignore the siren call of the bunnings.
You can probably get away with planting:
- peas
- broccoli
- rocket
- radish
But it is far, far, FAR TOO EARLY for tomatoes, corn, watermelon, eggplant, zucchini, basil etc
They will die almost definitely. And if they don't die, they will be leggy and not fruit as well. Just wait.
