Produce Update

I started making lists a couple of days ago of what is growing and what is currently producing in the garden at present. It was a bit all over the place on paper, so hopefully this will be more succinct and help me get my head around where I am up to and what to do next.

Things we are currently eating from the garden

• pumpkins- a huge mound on the veranda to get through and give away
• potatoes- a few weeks left, haven't bought any for months
• 2 tomatoes left!
• leeks
• lettuce and rocket- enough for a couple of salads a week
  
• stir-fry greens
• silverbeet and Tuscan kale
• beetroot
  
• rhubarb
• sugar-snap peas
• carrots
• parsnips
• zucchini- the romanesco zucchini I planted late are holding on well and still producing nice, crisp little courgettes
• English spinach
• the usual perennial herbs eg. rosemary, sage, lemongrass,chives, mint etc
• annual herbs- parsley, corriander

Things growing in the garden that are not yet producing

• spring onions
• curly leaf kale
• broccoli and green sprouting broccoli
• cabbage
• broad beans (aquadulce and crimson)- have seen one flower
• podding peas
• garlic
• celery
• plus perrenials like strawberries, artichoke, asparagus etc

Things that need to be done this week (hopefully)

• reseed some of the podding peas as the birds have somehow got through the mesh and eaten them in the ground!!!
• remove capsicums and eggplants and replace with onions
• measure up beds outside veg patch so I can let Ian know how big I want the posts to go around them (don't think that will happen for a while)
• work out way of eliminating weeds from the path- maybe boiling water (sorry worms) and bags of sawdust?
• take photos of garden to at least make the blog look interesting!!

If I get those done I can start working on some of the outside beds. Here is Lyssie and the 'Boys', not long after shearing. They are right next to the house, so as I hang out washing the kids wander over and talk to them. You have to be careful not to get too close as one gave Emme a nip on the fingers a few weeks ago!
