Well Spring is upon us and we have already been so busy.  Trevor took 2 weeks off to try and get us a bit further ahead which worked well accomplishing the finish of 2 more vine climbing structures,  the extension of the banana garden, back fencing, sandstone rock collecting and more work on the dog enclosures.

I have planted some zucchini in the  Hugelkultur Bed with the sweet potatoes still growing well in their position in the bed.  I am also hoping to plant some capsicum  there soon as well.

  Some Pepino bushes were planted in the area that Trevor rotary hoed so I am hoping that they soon start their climbing on their trellis. The other Pepino bush in my orchard has fruit on it and they are looking outstanding.

I have also cultivated some of my Turmeric and what I am not going to use for myself presently I have planted beside the Bananas.

Trevor extended the banana garden by quite a bit and replanted the young suckers into this space.  The Banana Trees are growing exceptionally well and we now have at least half a dozen bunches on the trees at the moment.

My Tagasaste bushes are steaming ahead with what looks like a success this time and I have around another 120 seedlings up and ready to plant out.

Leucospermums are also out and the flowers are looking amazing with the bushes becoming more widespread in the garden meaning more buds exploding  more colour into the garden.

The Halloween pumpkins are now flowering so hopefully they will soon start growing up and over the vine structure.  I have also planted Butternut Pumpkin, Cucumber, Rock melon and Water Melon on the vine structures as well.

The last of our Mushrooms have now been eaten so now we just have to keep the spores dark and wet and wait till harvest time again.

Hopefully we will have some nice Spring rain to keep the dam full so as there will be plenty of water for the hot days ahead.
