August 4 Back to Plot 5

Just a quick update on my onions - love this planting method ........ have a look

talk about going to seed ...... foliage in front left corner from potatoes - almost ready to harvest, lovely red kale ......... and me thinks time for a garden clean up!!

August 1 Ripe Peppers

my early August container garden harvest ..... another Adam cucumber, Melrose peppers, a few Lunch Box Red peppers and selection of tomatoes

a closer look at the tomatoes

12 noon:  Heart's Delite Black, 6:  Adelaide Festival - and I must update my favourite tomato of 2018 - this is it!!  Amazing flavour - the only one I really wanted; unfortunately not a big cropper, but I will try in my raised bed next year .... the larger cherries are KARMA Pink, and smaller are Cherry Roma along with one ripe Fuego Verde

July 29 The Harvest Continues

Cucumber, green beans and Cherry Roma tomatoes .....

July 27 More Tomatoes

More KARMA Pinks, Fuego Verde and Heart's Delite Black ...... and a sliced pic of HDB - my favourite tomato 2018


July 20 Tomatoes and More

Here they are, my first ripes of the year "Saluteus" and "KARMA Pink" special thanks to Craig, Karen and Marsha!!

just had to include my Adam F1 cucumber - delicious ......

July 14 Container Tomatoes and More

Here are the container tomatoes - July 14th ...... and a ripe tomato!! "Saluteus" my Dwarf Project grow out; the plant is looking a little tired and yellow - not sure if nutrient deficiency or disease


















KARMA Pink is also starting to blush, although plant does not seem that healthy

and even more amazing - check out my Donkey Ears pepper - not bad for mid July here on the coast;  peppers seem to enjoy growing in small containers

July 12 Plot 5

Harvesting some lovely veggies now ...... snap peas, green beans and more "Brokali" broccoli shoots


 cleared some space to plant more bush beans, this time Lynx

an interesting and successful variation on planting onions; these were purchased as seedlings and planted in groups of five or so ....... have a look
many thanks to Charles Dowding for this method
