See How My Garden Grows: March 2014

Posted on March 2, 2014 by Christine • 2 Comments

So apparently it is the start of March – I was firmly convinced that today was the 27th of February – and that means two things. The first is that it’s time to link up with The Garden Share Collective. The second is that I missed out on my Rescue This project during February. Oops. … Continue reading →

See How My Garden Grows: February 2014

Posted on February 2, 2014 by Christine • 7 Comments

It’s the start of the month, and that means it’s time to link up with The Garden Share Collective again! This Month: There’s still not a lot that’s happened in my garden this month, and I blame that mostly on the heat. We’ve had far too many days above 35 degrees, and not nearly enough rain. … Continue reading →

January in the Garden

Posted on January 19, 2014 by Christine • 2 Comments

As January progresses and I am determined to ensure that my garden doesn’t become a neglected square yet again, I’m trying to keep on top of tasks for January in the garden. With this in mind I’ve borrowed the Yates Month by Month garden guide from the library, and I’m teaming it up with Marcelle … Continue reading →

Resisting the Urge…to Buy Books

Posted on January 17, 2014 by Christine • 1 Comment

I’m a bit of a bibliophile. Always have been. Some of my earliest memories involve me writing stories, or sneaking a torch into my room so I could indulge in a midnight read. This is only really a problem because it means that I own books. Far, far too may books. I buy books that … Continue reading →

Surviving the Summer Swelter

Posted on January 16, 2014 by Christine • 10 Comments

There’s still another day to go here in Melbourne before this current heatwave ends. Rumour has it that, at the end, we’ll win the dubious honour of having the “longest number of consecutive days over 40 degrees since 1908”. I have to admit that, since quite a large number of my plants are in pots, … Continue reading →

Raised Garden Bed Layout

Posted on January 14, 2014 by Christine • 10 Comments

Until Linda popped up and mentioned these cool raised garden beds made from old fruit bins I’d pretty much decided on metal raised garden beds. There were two reasons for this: one was that I was concerned that in 10-15 years time the timber beds would look rather … scrappy… The other had to do … Continue reading →

Raised Garden Beds: I Think We Have a Plan!

Posted on January 13, 2014 by Christine • 14 Comments

I mentioned yesterday that this week should be the week I finally get my raised garden beds. I had spent most of the weekend looking at options in terms of metal or timber raised beds, and had finally decided on metal beds from The Vegie Garden in Bacchus Marsh. Mainly because Nick and I are … Continue reading →

Growing Healthy Tomatoes

Posted on January 9, 2014 by Christine • 14 Comments

Every year I dream of a tomato glut. I dream of having so many tomatoes that I can make my own pasta sauce and tomato sauce and store it away for the rest of the year. So far it has yet to happen. I suspect that part of the problem in the past has been … Continue reading →

Seedling Purchases

Posted on January 4, 2014 by Christine • 5 Comments

On the way to Canberra Nick & I drive past a roadside stall with an honesty box system. I really wanted to stop, but we had no cash between us so I kept driving. But I spent the whole trip thinking about it, wondering what marvels it would contain (I had no doubt that marvels would be … Continue reading →
