How my garden grows!

Wednesday, 2 September 2009

I was out at the garden center today, grabbing some more additions to my potted garden.

I've now added the following to my potted garden:

  • Elephant garlic
  • Garlic chives
  • Garlic
  • Sweet basil
  • Comfrey
  • Spring onions.




Lined up and ready to be planted, the girls are in town!


It's interesting how once you get the "bug" for something, you can't stop, isn't it?

Ever since I renovated my garden back in Australia a couple of years ago, I've been a keen gardener. I wanted to put in all food trees then, but the lack of water, money, and the fact that we were renovating the house to sell it, made us reach the decision to plant the garden entirely with hardy, drought-tolerant natives.

Here in Dunedin, water isn't the problem. The problem is we still haven't found a house to buy, two years on! But I'm getting my garden in order anyway! Then, when we do buy, I'll just move my potted garden with me.


Looking down on the new garden club members!


Some of the trees I've put in will stay here, at our rented home, but most will come with me. And in the meanwhile, I'm learning the food-growing skills I need anyway.
