Roaming Zebra

Was only permitted a short time on the plot today

And under duress as well!

Anyway, planted out some calabrese plugs which have been waiting around since being bought to go out. Netted to keep the birds off them.

Found some Leek Musselbrugh and Carrot early nantes seed tape from last year, so I popped them out for a try. Will need to build something using scaffold net to see if we can keep various flies away from the crops.

Unfurled a huge black plastic sheet bought from allplas. It covers the large section at the bottom of the plot that really, really needs a good clearing and tidy up. Its where all the random cooch grass and junk has been being piled to rot down. We really need to build a proper compost heap (got some pallets, just not enough yet) for the crap to go in.

Having unfurled the sheet, I think we need some more bricks up at the plot to hold it down.

Broadcast planted some Maestro carrots in the big green tub.

And back at home …

Had a general tidy of the garden and weeded the top left bed nearest the house. Mulched the bed with a bag of coco shells which was left over from last season. It was all quite wet and squidgy, but it should for a good mulch.

Had a good weed of the bottom right bed, removing several trugs worth of cooch grass – its all going in the green wheely bin for the council to compost though – definitely not putting cooch grass in our compost bin at home!

Removed a lot of the other plants which are smothering or tend to smother the whole bed.

Mowed the lawn to avoid too much trouble!

The kale has started to sprout!
