Ooh thanks for that (again) BG We actually have some plans for our place which show the water lines i think? we have the plans for our place plus the rest of the houses around us. We are pretty sure on where the phone lines are, but still wouldn't hurt to get as much info as possible.
Depending on where you live and how much water you have, I would hold off getting the lemon tree. This wind is knocking ours around and so is the lack of water.
When you get one you might have to shift it once or twice as they can be temperamental. We had to shift our twice before it liked its spot.
i have beans up WOOT and i lost one of my baby tomato plants last night in the storm
im got heaps of slugs and snails at the moment but i got some snail bait and they seem to hate it ( suckers lol )
so so far i have..
beans,tomatoes broccili,peas,strawberries,caulifloew.chives,cabba ge,spinach,
im hopeing they dont get drowned though
so how are all you girls gardens going any tips on anything would be great
one thing i love is this vegi garden is really good for my 9 yr old too she loves it
Well we just got all our pumpkins out and are pulling out the plants tonight. It would probably still grow but Im worried about it wasting water just to get tiny pumpkins in the last minute of the season.
So we got 3 x 3kg pumpkins and probably 4 medium sized ones. Love em!
Still got about 3kg of tomatoes on the plants starting to go red. Once these are picked, we will pull out the plants there too.
Our zucchinis have finished, as have the cucumbers. But the spring onions, parsley, cauli, broccoli, eggplants and capsciums are still going well!
Can't wait to finally clear out that vege bed and get the chooks in there. Will be perfect for winter planting
Our strawberry tower is not doing so well..I'm not sure if it is getting too much hot sun, or if I am giving it too much water? Going to try to move it to a shadier position this arvo.
Capsicums are just starting to get some little buds on them...YAY.. We pulled the shadecloth off them all and the tomtoes are looking heaps better too. DH had plans to stake them this week, might get that done on the weekend.
We are just waiting till we get some more gardening time, or that should be time where DH isn't helping everyone else out, and will put in another bed..
ours is still going quite well - DH picking a bucket or more of tomatos each week
we won't be picking our pumpkins for another few weeks - i've read on numerous sites that you should wait til after the first frost (at least) as this helps to sweeten them up. last year we waited til we'd had a couple of frosts and the plant was dying off before we ripped it out. think it was late april or early may - maybe early may cos we were able to burn the plants when we ripped them out...
everything else still doing well i think - dunno - dh checked this week
