Hey everyone. Zak here from Cape Town, South Africa. I am still a bit sick but I am feeling spans better than I did yesterday.
I am starting to putter around in the garden a bit as this is needed to keep things under control.
A lot of my plants are taking a bit of damage from the sun and I need to work some food into the beds where I can see its getting a bit sandy.
There is quite a lot of purslane popping up but that is alright since I will harvest that too. I will just have to thin it out so it does not kill my other plants.
Well... I have a lot of work to do. Let's look at pictures:
I need to clean the greens on the path (or trim) and the grassy stuff in the grow box on the right.
We got new purloins on the pergola outside. We hung some lights on that to give some atmosphere. I did a lot of work tidying the plants in this area.
Left back is what is left of the one vine plant the builders chopped down... but did not kill... its just going to grow back now. Haha.
Some of the longer plants in the path will the trimmed.
These plants need work especially the delicious monster. I think I will make a whole post about that thing.
Garlic shoots going a bit brown... water and heat issues?
The other vine that got chopped down that is busy growing again!
This guy was just a stump in a pot... I started watering it and it now has 4 leaves! I have no idea what it is.
Its going fairly well here. I am keeping the clovers and other ground cover alive to keep the moisture in the ground.
The mints are recovering. Everyone told me this thing would take over everywhere... but the grass here is even more aggressive!
The tree at the back needs to be cleared of suckers. More food for the compost heap.
I still need to relocate this rosemary.
Another tree with suckers to clear.
I might need to pull out the onions in the centre and split them up. One onion's cutting has turned into 3 onions!
Some work to be done here... maybe I should build something for them to stand on? Also my path is not a path anymore...
That vine is popping up across the sand and up against the wall... but this is near the braai so that's not going to work...
Currently I can enjoy Basil, Mint Basil, Onions, Rosemary.
I am not sure how the garlic works...
The lawn needs water and attention!
So yeah, I have a lot of work to do and I shall see how much of my Saturday and Sunday can be dedicated towards getting some of these tasks done. I need to start growing more seedlings and germinating more... I have a lot of Kitchen onions that I need to plant out!
Thank you for reading!
