in the height of summer

Quick bed-check.

Avo-Shed: chook tractor (since at least November)

Apricot-Avo: corn is tall and full of ears, could probably do with some extra watering/mulching.

Apricot fore: potatoes (need digging out), Queensland arrowroot (also may need harvesting), random curcubit that doesn't look like anything we know.

Crepe-Apricot: Popping corn (not very good), tomatoes, kale (left over from winter), some comfrey and parsley as edging. I seeded a summer mulch there yesterday, and planted some 'homegrown pumpkin' seedlings, but one Hainan chicken got out and probably dustbathed there and killed them.

Apple-Crepe: tomatoes, beans, a couple of pumpkins/curcubits,

Stone-Apple: tomatoes, 'good bug mix', sunflower.

Stone fore: Wintermelon seedlings, zucchini seedlings. I trimmed down the stone fruit tree pretty severely - it went up and up and up and the only harvest I really got were the plums, so I'm cutting it back.

Plum-Stone: ginger up the back, parsley, a single beetroot, some tomatillos that are just about to fruit, only I want to put the chook dome over it for the next two months...

Upper Cherry-Peach: bathtub water garden - need to check for a hole in the plug area. It's leaking.

Lower Cherry-Peach: bathtub garden - nothing in here yet, but I'm thinking I might plant the garlic in here if I can get enough good soil. (Good soil is tough to find in decent quantities; at least until the compost bioreactors finish getting their acts together...

Chook house: Due to be moved sometime this weekend (I hope; maybe.)

Asparagus bed: (upper step bed)

Annual herb bed: (lower step bed)

Vegepod:
Front row:eggplants, capsicum (peppers)
Middle row:tomatoes
Back row:melons, cucumbers, possibly a pumpkin or two? They're growing up the vines with the plan to provide shade (this aspect of the house faces north, which is the sunny side here in the southern hemisphere, so the shade would have been good a month earlier, but the bed was only created in December).

Front garden/orchard: various plants which aren't doing so well - probably the soil isn't rich enough or deep enough for them. I'd need to run the chooks through here rather longer than I did, I think.
