Prolly more a downunder question, as we are well into Spring (record temps already).
What are you all growing, and how are they doing ?
Our garden this year has taken off well (admittedly water consumption is up, but planning on a rain tank when it looks like some of that is ever going to happen).
Out the front, the tree ferms and Camalia are starting to take off on one side of the house, as are the heleborus, and pansies I think she calls them. My bay laurel is looking ________, as are the silverbeet and mints (chocolate and regular).
Out the back, my blood orange, and meyer lemon are doing great, and the kiwi fruit are powering along...should get decent fruit this year. Tomato plants are thriving, as are the ________ pumkin.
Kerry's flower bed is looking good, with huge sweet pea vines about to flower. The roses are leafing and budding up again, and my Comfrey looks about to flower.
Kerry's planted a heap of vegetables in old tyres (carrots, cucumber etc). We usually put a decent vege potting mix and lots of mulch in the tyres, grow one season, then add the mulch/mix as a compost to whichever bed needs it.
My carnivorous plants are getting big and hungry (although I don't thnik the saracenas (sp) will be ready for the outdoors until next year.
It's gonna be a tasty year I think.
