A New Start

Recent rain has turned my once productive garden in to a swamp... we already have one of them in this town and don't really fancy one in my back yard... (can't even swim in it).... so I will be starting a new with my garden this season and adding in some more raised beds. This will improve drainage and hopefully, with the help of weed mesh and some fine wire, stop the tree roots from interfering and taking all of the nutrients i give the vegetables.

Last weeks harvest

My tomatoes BEFORE the weeks of rain...

Where they used to be, I had to pull them out, It was a terrible season here for tomatoes, searing heat that would burn the tips, even with the bit of shade that the net gave them then flooding that split all of the green tomatoes. I didn't get a photo of the swamp that used to be there, one wrong step and my legs had a therapeutic mud bath... This is where I will put the new raised beds soon...

Happy cucumbers

so happy....

There climbing up the tree! Probably to get away from all the water...

Second planting of beans going well (mainly purple beans)

A lone but happy strawberry plant :)

Happy Gardening :)
