Weekend sowings

On Saturday I finally got around to resowing the seedlings I managed to destroy.

It had been mostly dry all week so on Sunday I was able to do some digging (well, supervise some digging), and some direct sowing. Into the Mexican garden went cumin and coriander, along the fence went peas, and into the root vege garden went carrot, parsnip and beetroot. I also weeded out the strawberry patch - it's looking good in there! The plants have been flowering without me noticing, and there's baby strawberries!

The sad news is that two of the bigger beds have gone from being far too wet to go near, to rock hard dry, within a week. Hopefully today's rain will have evened things out a bit - those are my salad beds in theory!

Wow - what a great garden you have. I found your blog by trying to find out about what these lateral things were on tomatoes that one is meant to pinch out... Thanks so much for putting a photo in! A HUGE help! http://auckland-harvest.blogspot.com/2008/11/tomato-laterals.html
