Labour weekend is the traditional time to plant your garden in New Zealand. We didn’t actually get plants in till a few weekends later – but hey they are in now and I am happy! Of course I keep forgetting about it so there has been a few midnight trips out to water the garden, or put down some slug slam because that’s what time I remember. I wonder if anyone has seen me out there in mum’s red crocs, pj pants, a big coat, and a headlamp, looking like a crazy person??
Our plants are still pretty small – but looking good. A few snaps below of the garden which currently has red cabbage, lettuce, spring onion, red onion, capsicum, cherry tomato, snow peas, cucumber, basil, and beans. I also have some sugar snap peas (so good in stir-fry) that I germinated and have just broken through the soil in their little containers. So I will transfer those to the garden soon.
Still quite a bit of room in there, so in a few more weeks I’ll plant some more lettuces etc so we have a bit of a rotation going on, and I don’t have 12 lettuces ready at once like I did a couple years ago.

Looking good, we forgot completely to plant our garden as Dad usually does it, so better luck next year : )
Yum!!! And we'll be home to eat some. I miss gardening :(
