I do hope that you get some more rain soon it was very dry here for a while but we were lucky to get a few really good storms that help to green things over which was nice. Summer is such a hard time of year to grow things at the end of the day my vegies look very sad and I'm finding things are going to seed really quickly too but I'll keep trying. I love that photo of the wren it such a good one they're quick little things and they are my favourite birds too. xxCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314373295390794669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289047218064531928.post-30038827934557252432012-12-02T03:59:18.009-08:002012-12-02T03:59:18.009-08:00Hope you got a little rain over the weekend Andrea...Hope you got a little rain over the weekend Andrea, the watering certainly has started early hasn't it. Your garlic looks fabulous. My bulbs so far have been tiny, but I've only pulled the plants that didn't look too good anyway. The rest is just starting to yellow and droop now, so I might pull it up during the week.<br /><br />I have plenty of your seeds growing in the garden at the moment, sunflowers, zinnias and pumpkins. I also gave lots of friends the sunflower seeds from the ones I grew last year so there are plenty of gardens in the northern suburbs with your sunflowers growing in them. Just spreading the love around a bit further.Barbara Goodhttp://thenewgoodlife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289047218064531928.post-19278856870022585292012-11-28T04:39:30.208-08:002012-11-28T04:39:30.208-08:00Thought you would like the pic of the wren,I think...Thought you would like the pic of the wren,I think I might visit office works and make him into this years Xmas card!!<br />We had a lovely drop of rain yesterday too.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16309666420472665198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289047218064531928.post-19676094567727062652012-11-28T04:33:32.715-08:002012-11-28T04:33:32.715-08:00I have grown 3 batches of garlic this year,one fro...I have grown 3 batches of garlic this year,one from brought cloves which didn't grow very big, 2nd my own cloves in bed that had previously grown tomatoes in ok soil, these grew much better and mostly of medium/large in size.<br />3rd batch my own cloves in a new raised bed dug over with lots of added gravel and compost in full sun and no wind/frost protection at all. Best of all with large bulbs.
