Lemons and a Lime

My Lemon and Lime trees are being much more productive this year; don't get me wrong though they're not giving us bags full, but it is better then previous years.

Gardening Australia!

Today Gardening Australia came to my garden to shoot a story! I'm not sure when it will be put to air but it's all very exciting. They came early this morning and left mid afternoon. We did lots of little shoots around the garden and Jane Edmanson helped me build a potato cage. I'll keep you informed about the viewing times of my story.

The crew and all there gear:

Dwarf Peas

I recently planted the dwarf snow pea, dwarf sugar snap peas and dwarf shelling peas that I was growing in a tray. I've constructed some trellis out of stakes and wire mesh to grow the peas up. You can't see the trellis very well but there are three sections; two of them are straight and one is round. This is the first time I've grown peas in the garden bed and not in tubs so I'm being extra diligent with my snail spotting. I've spread around used coffee ground to try and deter the snails and slugs but it doesn't last long with all the rain we're having.
