I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

Succession

One of my goals for the garden,
 has been to stagger my plantings of crops,
 to ensure I have produce over a longer period.

Although I haven't perfected it,
I am improving.
This lot of corn was planted at the beginning of January.
It is just starting to flower.
The two earlier plantings have cropped.
I am about to pull them out for some
Autumn/Winter plantings.

This net is over the latest lot of brassicas.
Broccoli and cauliflower,
interplanted with some fast growing
Chinese pak choy.

In the background, behind the pink cosmos,
is another lot of brassicas (broccoli) which
is about to flower.

I also have some beetroot and carrots in
and this week I will plant some more.
