Green Manure

Hi – my cold has developed. Losing my voice now. Jeff must find it nice and peaceful!
Despite the continued rain and cold, I did get outside for a short time to do something useful in the main garden.

I won’t be able to plant the corn for a while – just not warm enough. So I thought I might plant some wheat and use it as green manure. Hopefully there will be time for it to reach a nice little height to dig in again before I have to plant the corn.

I figured it would be easier to cover the seeds over if I just did some rows instead of scattering them about willy-nilly.

It started raining again before I had finished covering them over… so at least they got a bit of a watering!

Meanwhile in the hothouse – cucumber babies!!

The silverbeet is doing really well… lots of sprouts up in all three pots

And hopefully tomorrow a cousin is popping by to take a few excess seedlings off my hands!
Hope your weekend is going along great!

Cheers
