I got a lot of little things done today, I went to Bunnings this morning and bought some potting mix and seed raising mix, And some tall thin pots to put some seeds in, I find that the roots of seedlings grow so much deeper then the normal seed trays allow? Why is that? Why don't the company's make the seed trays deeper for better root growth? I did find some though, not trays but single pots, there about 4cm wide but a good 10cm deep. They were a bit expensive at $2.79 for only 6, but the plastic is good quality.
A strawberry from the garden!! It was delicious!
And we have a baby pumpkin!!!
So many weeds.... Yes that used to be my flower garden.....
Now weed free! In there are Asters, Lisianthus, a lone Snap Dragon and Canterbury Bell, and some Petunias my friend gave me. Today i added some Delphinium and gave them all a good water with liquid fertilizer :)

A happy pink Aster
Some more Delphinium Planted at the ends of the new beds.
I also bought a pink Zinnia to go with my red one, It was only $2

The new seed pots are the black ones, They are twice as tall as the green seed trays. It should help prevent transplant shock too having more space for the roots to grow. In them I planted Kale-Tuscan Black, Broccoli De Cicco, Brussel Sprout- Long Island Imp, Romanesco, and Stock- Cinderella Mix.
Happy Gardening :)
