Been for a Physio treatment today as my lower back is not so good, then spent 2 hours this afternoon filling and planting bed two, another visit next week perhaps?? WE ARE DONE! Both beds full, all Bunnings plants in the end, BUT bed two has organic soil mix from a different provider, let's see if there is much difference. The leftover lettuce that just didn't fit went to the chooks, and a few salvageable leaves went into the green salad in the fridge.
Little worried about overwatering the soil, felt very wet when I planted, so hope I didn't water in new soil too much. Have planted a baby watermelon in the centre of bed two and it said it needed a 1 metre space, have left a long row free for it but not sure if it grows up or along ground. Will research that one. I have to admit I am pretty much winging this garden, with some sound advice from my inspiring friend I have gone for it. I have planted a lot of stuff, not leaving the spacing amount as per the seedling pots, this may be my undoing, but I am here to learn.
Got a great eggplant recipe from a girlfriend over fab Japanese meal last night, and wish I had planted eggplant too. Next time, so much to grow, this is excellent stuff.... Will definitely be booking a Physio appointment first thing Monday.
BTW found evidence of chooks in bed one, so our first attempt is not chook proof, may hook it up to the nearest power point!
