Well I got the rotary hoe in this afternoon to munch up the area where the new vegetable garden is going.
Here are the pictures:

Half way through. Just going back over the area again.
The final result, with my 'bug eater' cleaning up behind.

14 Jul '05 7:49 pm With all this lovely spring weather we've had lately here in South Canterbury I thought it time I tested the waters with some seeds in pots.
Most have sproutd so I went out in the garden the other afternoon and planted:
3 rows of beetroot
2 rows of radish
2 rows of peas
I've still plenty more seeds so if these don't do well then all isn't lost.
Finally - the garden can get some rest and peace from the hens. I've seen no hens in the garden area since the fence has been put up.

29 Jul '05 10:03 pm Yes garlic grows down here.
I got my hands on 1KG of organic garlic bulbs and have planted those in little pieces. Have made 3 rows.
I checked up on the vegetables yesterday after coming back from Australia and see the garlic has sprouted.

1 Aug '05 4:47 pm If you use whole bulbs of garlic while cooking, break a piece of that off and poke in the ground. You should have a new garlic bulb growing within a few months.

3 Aug '05 6:29 pm OK so you have a fill bulb of garlic that you can break into smaller pieces right?
Those smaller pieces you plant in the ground - pointy side up.
Thats it. Simple. Easy as pie.
