Gardening A few weeks ago

A few weeks ago we posted a photo of cutworms that almost wiped out our entire crop of silverbeets and spinach 😭
.
The good news is that after prompt action, we managed to save the existing crop and although not all of the plants have fully recovered, the signs are promising with regrowth happening 😅
.
For those who may not know CUTWORMS are more than nibbling creatures on foliage. They can eat the stems at or below soil level very close to the roots and can easily weaken and kill a plant 😏
.
They are definitely a pest to be reckoned with in the garden and demand respect ✅

Delicious RED SPRING ONION 😋
.
Spring onion would have to be one of our favourites. A staple everyday cooking ingredient, our garden simply wouldn't feel complete without it
.
RED SPRING ONION is rich in antioxidants and if you're not interested in eating the green frond, how about letting it grow a bulb and using it like a shallot?
.
10/10 for versatility ✅

This is our WHITE ALPINE strawberry plant. Today we had to relocate it from its ground pot to another temporary home because we want to find a more permanent hanging pot for it
.
It looks so incredibly healthy for a plant going through winter dormancy. It's even got strawberries on it. Good strong roots and a lot of new shoots developing around the crown 😍

It's not a common sight, but how beautiful are these flowers from a bolted lettuce?
.
Often when a lettuce bolts, it is an indication that the variety in question was not planted in the correct season or was not given adequate time to grow and establish itself in the correct season
.
DID YOU KNOW?
.
There are varieties of lettuces that grow solely in winter and others that grow solely in summer and others that can grow all year round
.
Knowing which variety grows best and at what time of the year can sometimes be tricky and is often discovered the hard way via bolting
.
In this example, we will happily allow the seed to form properly on this flower stalk and then collect it for sowing in more warmer conditions ✅
