july garden

it has been a while since i posted about my garden. that is perhaps because for a few weeks there i just did not have the opportunity to get into the garden and give it some attention.




last week that all changed though, and i was able to get in and pull out a bunch of weeds and old plants and dig in a few new seedlings. I also finally installed this woolly pocket that a dear friend gave to me months ago.



this woolly pocket was meant for indoors, but i did not have any suitable wall space there, so i have made use of my garden fence, and hopefully it will be a green wall soon.




so far i have planted out a few herbs and strawberries in the woolly pocket, with hopes that they will be protected from the snails and slugs.



i also planted some beans, peas, cauliflowers, mini kale and my carrots are coming up.



not bad for a winter garden. my lettuce and spinach are going growing like mad and soon i will be able to trim back the passion fruit vine with hopes of a bumper crop later this year.
