SPRING HAS SPRUNG !!
Easy weeding and lots of new shoots. We bedded down potatoes in straw,fed our citrus and passionfruit with chicken poo and seaweed (with a dash of iron).
There are now 6 trays on the go with tomatoes and basil (saved seeds from last year), marigolds,radish,capsicum and cucumbers (have you seen the price of these at the moment!!)
