New babies!

The vegie seeds planted about 2 weeks back are starting to come up. You may recall that these were planted directly into the soil. There was quite a bit of rain that week , some of which was very heavy, so I was worried they'd rot and not work.

They've had a fair bit to battle through in their short lives! - rain for their first week, drought for their second week and and few attacks from Buddy thrown in there too who must be feeling neglected while the back door is kept closed to keep the warm in the house

But through this adversity, some seedlings have emerged!


It's a bit blurry - but here a 3 peas in a row There's about 10 seedlings in total coming through















A tiny bunch of lettuce coming through, not iceberg but the loose leafy type simply called Red & Green Salad - this area of the garden was hit hardest by Buddy's attack, there are about 3 or 4 of these little clusters coming through - I'll give it 2 or 3 more weeks and start re-sowing the patches to keep a constant suppy when they grow















The brocolli starts emerging too - this is very sporadic in how its coming up, I'd planted the sedd in a line but probably only about 30% has started growing so far totalling about 3 or 4 plants, maybe some were put in too deep?? This is an Italian Sprouting variety according to the packet
