weekend gardening things

Plants seem to do heaps better with seaweed solution, chook manure, and banana peel water. Also dilute urine. Not terribly surprising, but definitely good news!

Need to make a weed tea sometime in the next few days. Now that we have the water tank connected up, there's rainwater and to spare.

I had a rhubarb that was doing okay-ish in the top of a 'strawberry pot' it was in. Pulled it out because I figured it wanted more space, put it under the apricot tree. It's going great guns! producing giant leaves with short, tangy stems. I made apple and rhubarb crumble last week and although the rhubarb stems were green, it was tasty tasty.

The strawberries with which I filled the strawberry pot are also going great guns. Possibly because I've been watering them with seaweed solution.

Asparagus is shooting okay. About a half-dozen spears a week. I have to cut them before they get too large; a bad habit of forgetting that we have them at all.

seedlings

COTTON: needs sunny with steady water options

EGGPLANT: a couple in the APPLE-CREPE bed, then some in the triangle temp bed

TOMATOES: in the Triangle Temp Bed

PUMPKIN (gramma): No idea where this one can go.

PUMPKIN (golden nugget): maybe grow it in CREPE-APRICOT, up the reo trellis and across to the crepe tree again?
