You may think that work has slowed down in the Kitchen Garden since the cooler weather has moved in, however, there is much work to be done.  Late last term we sowed brussel sprouts, coriander, spring onions and nasturtiums.  Our salad greens didn’t do to well over the holidays so we resowed the area last week.  For those of you who have joined our Space, you will be aware that we entered the Landcare Winter Vegetable Competition.  Our seeds arrived over the holiday break and last week we sowed our carrot seeds in both upright pipes and in the ground – which position will yield a better crop? Sign up to our Space to see our progress!  We will also need to thin our seedlings, sow more seeds and mulch, mulch, mulch.

Later on in the year we will also re-pot our 16 dwarf citrus trees that were generously donated  by parents.  Currently we’re in the process of sourcing larger pots so they can continue to grow and flourish.
