Broccoli

13 of the broccoli were ready to be planted out, so there were so.  The cauliflower and cabbage are ready to go too, but there wasn't enough time tonight to get it done.  The Zucchini are beginning to show signs of life and might even be ready to go into the patch by the end of the weekend.

Rotten beans

The beans did not germinate. In fact, they appear to have been too cold and too wet so they simply vanished into the soil. A new set have been sewn.

Peas went into the patch as they were getting too large for the pots.

Brassicas are doing well, but not ready to go into the patch.

Signs of life

The seeds are starting to sow signs of life - brassicas don't take long to germinate.  Also, into the patch, went the first seedlings (from the store), this time silverbeet.

Aldo planted into pots:
Zucchini, Zephyr F1
Squash, Pink Banana Jumbo
Cucumber, English Greengrocer
Rhubarb, Red Cherry
Kalettes, Flower Sprouts F1

Pottles

Since the beds are (basically) ready for planting, its time to turn seeds into seedlings.  Over this weekend the following went into pots:

Cauliflower - violet Sicilian
Broccoli - tender stem F1
Cabbage - copenhagen market
Tomato - Baxter's early bush
Camomile - German
Catnip (for the cat, that is).

Also, of a large variety:

Pea - Blue shelling
Bean - California red kidney

The pea and bean were soaked for a day before planting in potting mix (you can see them soaking in the picture below).

2017

Its 2017.  A new season and with it a new veggie patch.  It was completely re-built over the winter by Jason Ross of Habitate.  It wasn't cheap, but he also cleared a forest, built a chicken run, planted an orchard and installed drainage in the areas that become a boggy swamp.  Thanks Jason.

Into Pots

Moved lettuces and marshmallow into pots in the green room. Hopefully they'll take. 

Brasicas into the patch

Moved many of the cauliflowers, broccoli, and cabbage into the patch. As two potatoes had self-sprouted they were left to grow.
