Starting a vegetable garden.

Interestingly the ones planted in raised beds didn’t suffer the same fate so it could be nutrients as I used 50/50 compost and top soil in beds. IMG_3247.JPGIMG_3248.JPG

Anybody know of a good book or website advising on pests and diseases in the Garden.

I always struggle identifying pests. I have mostly mint thyme rosemary lavender tomatoes chillies roses. And a curry tree plant.

Here is something funny. Last night we went to the veg patch with a torch and found the freaking culprits!!!! Little bugger green worms found their graves!!

Then I can feel less guilty for stressing.


This heat keeps wilting the rocket. So now I moved the pot to full shade. Will see if that helps. Maybe it will do a bit better once its stronger/bigger.

Yes, the rocket is a very thirsty plant, I also have them growing. They readily tell you they need watering. Mine is growing in full sunlight, no problems. Like I said, lots of water.

Broccoli(3) and cucumber(2) babies.

Planted them into bigger sized small pots this afternoon. Will give them a week or so and will then plant them out. Brococoli into bit pots and cucumber directly into the garden. View attachment 578324

Awe, so nice your babies growing!!! How did you manage to upload pics? I would also like to show off my greenlings on my rooftop.
 
Does anyone have spinach experience? I have about 4 plants which used to grow like mad, they seem to have slowed down now - gardener says pull them out - they're "tired" - what's the story?

No idea, my ex use to grow spinach. It grew like a weed, just wouldn't stop growing and we ate spinach every single week for free. Would be interesting to know if it has a certain life span. :unsure:

I planted in September and my green peppers have been harvested. I've noticed they very easy to grow. Had a bit of a problem with the frigging green worms!! They ate all my broccoli and cauliflower.
 
Does anyone know this plant ? It just started growing in my garden and seems to be doing better than my veggies. c6c48dbe-c540-45b7-817b-05442c820755.jpg
