No steroids here! Home Grown!
Okay.. so they look a bit different to store bought
White Carrots!
They are awesome! It seems that my Yellow Carrots grow the best in my foam boxes but the white ones are worth a mention cos they look awesome!
Blueberries Galore
I’m so stoked! Robbie bought me a blueberry (tree) for xmas last year.
I didnt think it would do any good here – so just planted it in an old bucket and crossed my fingers.
Ate the first first 4 berries off the (tree? bush?) last week and noticed today that there is at least a dozen more ready to be picked!
mmmmm

Here is a link to a Planting Calendar.
Do you know of a better one? Please let me know
Souraya’s Tomatoes… Clones!!

Red Abutilon (Chinese lantern)
I found an awesome Red Chinese Lantern Tree growing in roadside garden
Mum struggles to propagate the Red ones so im hoping these will take off so we can share
Here they are all planted out. Used my own propagation mix, mostly cow poo and compost.
hope they work out.
Mum makes awesome ‘twisted plants’ she takes 3 or 4 different colours of these and plaits them into a standard… like this one https://www.jparkers.co.uk/plant-0001292/abutilon-tricolour-p12/
I’m determined to beat her, and create a 5 colour variety!
