Good day everyone! Zak here from Cape Town, South Africa. Here's is another update on my Veggie garden! I have lots of new plants, filling in those new beds I prepared a week ago and now I have a mass germination effort going on!
In the picture above you can see me sitting down for a few minutes, just admiring the scene.
Let's go down the camera-roll!
Tomatoes are doing great! Compare that to them a week ago and they have grown so fast!
This is from last week's post here!
Right, now for some additions!
I bought a rosemary bush, the biggest I could find at the time! To be honest, my veggie garden will need another 6 of these if they are going to be completely self sufficient in the presance of @clairemobey! Hehehe! But once I have some additional rosemary plants, I will probably never need to buy that herb again!
I got a 6 pack of Sweet Basil, also going to need a lot of those.
Here are some of my Bell Pepper seedlings that have managed to survive.
Nasturtiums! Yes, I am fully aware that these are going to go everywhere... pruning will help, but I would not mind them going all over the place as they make a great protection against slugs and snails! They have soft leaves that the slugs eat instead of tomatoes and the like and they grow faster than they pests can eat them! This has been tried and tested by myself.
My watermelon seeding @lez-zaiya gave me is still going. Its been here for about a week. Such a slow grower but seems happy still. Ive cut out the bottom of this container and it can no root into the ground beneath.
More Bell Pepper seedlings I germinated myself.
A View of the garden so far. My first box with tomatoes, mint, spearmint and parsley. My two new growing areas in a tier with the Marigold standing gaurd and the footpaths either side.
Looking great!!
Another view of the same! I cannot wait to see what this looks like in a month!
I do not have a lot of time while working those 12-hour shifts on the ship... so sometimes I work at night under my emergency light.
Getting posts filled with compost/dirt mix and ready for more seedlings!
Getting seeds ready and labels so I can know what is busy coming up!
That's all for now! I cannot wait to see what happens next!
Cheers!
