Hi, thanks for the invite karen...that sounds like a home away from home to me.

 

Clair, I'm in need a translator here

The men came, they were useless, so I had to rope a neighbour in too. We all moved it on two trolleys...even with 4 men it was too heavy to carry more than a few metres.

I'm exhausted from supervising 😄

Clair was too busy dealing with all those threads about her, so she didn't help 😐

So do you have it in place now?  You owe them all some tomatoes so you had better get filling it up.

that sounds like an effort worthy of an award .The threads would seem to  have been to Clairs benefit 

Now I need to get the soil, move e other three beds and fill them up.. Iza is coming to help. Then plant more veggies. I have other veggies growing in other gardens in the meantime.

throw a gumboot in it and take a photo so we can all see your new garden 🙂

 

Hubby has been emptying ash from the fireplace on to my little vegie plot all winter. I'm thinking this is not a good thing?

I didn't have any luck with it last year, it was too hot for tomatoes apparently.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

**bleep**, busted lurking again.

Tomatoes need shade cloth in the hottest part of summer, I used to grow mine in an old chook shed. Now I've got a flash old woman's raised bed...cept this old woman has to fill it up.

Ash might be good for veggies? Not too much tho. Chicken poop is good. I wonder if gum boots will grow... Might have to plant some!

Hi Pimpy, wood ash contains potassium .It depends what you are growing,what your soil ph is and what garden book website you read as too how much should be added and how it should be added .

similar to potash 

ahhhh, I remember adding potash to the soil when I did ag at school. That was over on the coast. I might rake most of it off and dig the rest through. There's a horrible hot wind here today trying to kill off all the cuttings I stole from my sister last week 😞 A green thrumb I do not have
