Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here with an update on my gardening progress - or lack thereof!
Seriously though, we have been through a tough time, life has been really busy and we have had a lot of flu run through the house, except for myself so I ended up being really busy here and there.
In the meantime, my garden projects have stood still and the garden has grown wild!
The weather is turning away from the cold and miserable winter days and turning towards the Spring/Summer days that will give me more time to work out there! Also, with my workshop coming together nicely, there will be more space to work on the projects that I will need to do to get everything working.
Let's get into it!
The Garden at the moment
The Veggie patch area that I had planned has begun growing grass again. It is ironic how easily it does this when there are a few patches in the lawn that I would like to grow grass!
In the windowsill two little green peppers I have germinated from seeds are busy popping out their 2nd set of leaves (making a total of 4 leaves each). I hope these make it!
There is some parsely on the right, heavily pruned for kitchen use. Time to leave it to grow.... we need a lot more herbs in the garden...
The corner of the wild garden. Strange undergrowth type plants are popping out along the wall.
The veggie garden fence - A DIY project, needs to be completed!
The braai and entertainment area, I need to keep this grass a bit more neat. It grows more as well as all the invader plants that grow just as fast.
The pergola overhang at the back of the house has been like this since we moved in here with the shadecloth ripped... However...
... I have a plan on how to deal with it... These creepers are just laying here. I would like to make them part of that canopy!
I have plenty more containers to grow things in and get seedlings started. It is high time I start getting a move on with these things.
The compost and materials "yard" needs a bit of work as well.
I need to seive this matured compost heap and then add to it to start maturing from the other pile again.
And I still have plenty more garden leftovers to be chopped up and added to that procedure.
The Challenge!
Obviously, I need to get my butt in gear and start gardening!
