Are there any backyard veggie gardeners here?

[SueJen]

We wouldn't have the veges we do if it wasn't for our dog, she loves rabbits

two egg boxes with seeds planted ready to replenish my basil crop. had them over a week should have been due to sprout soon  but
but ...... TOM my greyhound ate both boxes potting mix and all. He doesn't do bad weather too well so think i was being punished for the stormy  weather inPerth over the past few days

Just wondering how the gardens were going elsewhere....I am more than slightly cross with myself as I sunburnt all my tomato plants yesterday.  I have them covered with plastic soft drink bottles overnight so they don't gert frost on them, only yesterday we were out most of the day and they were left covered up.....poor things. 
On the up side tho, the capsicum plants seem lots happier for their scorching.

Gee Astarra where do you live?, Down here in Victoria I think I need to put a heater out for the plants it is so cold. I have just picked the big heads of broccoli today, I planted out some Kale seedlings at the weekend.

Our winter veg didn't do very well. The brussels sprouts have fully flowered with nary a sign of a little edible sprout. Swedes don't seem to have produced the usual bulbous root either. On the upside, kale and rocket have done well. Our fingers are crossed or the garlic and it looks like all the herbs are re-generating.

Brenda, did you have seeds, or seedlings for kale. I have a customer who wants seeds....

I planted out some Kale seedlings at the weekend. 

Kale is wonderful. I have black kale and curly kale growing. Love it  The garden has been neglected for a couple of weeks but the kale still looks good. The parsley has gone to seed    and the tomatoes are just starting to flower. I have a few small heads of cauliflower but they are cream coloured instead of white 

[djinni373]

How many seeds obbie? Packets or just some??? Any particular variety?

[obbie]

No, no particular variety, I can;t get the seeds up here    Not many

[djinni373]

obbie will pm you with some details

[Aussie Brenda]

I had seeds Robyn, the plants from last season are flowering so I will save the seeds from them.  I can also post you up a pkt or two if you wish.
