October – The Wrap Up

The Garden on the 7th Oct 2011

I was very productive in the garden this month. Almost all my summer crops are planted, some have even been mulched, and I have been regularly sowing seed to replace things which are bolting all over the place now the Spring has sprung.

The potatoes are growing nicely:

The tomatoes are doing their thing:

Even the horseradish looks pretty.

I have been buying a few new things:

And reviving a few old ones (these I moved from a shady spot under the passionfruit in the hope they would produce some nice berries):

But mostly I have been sowing my own:

On the left are canteloupe (rockmelon) and watermelon and excitingly the punnet on the right is cumin – sown from some seed I bought for use in the kitchen.  Roll on the home grown curry!
