Today our real vegie garden was born (as opposed to the container garden we've had for a couple of months).

We have opted for no-dig gardening. Initially we have one plot 2.4m x 1.2m.


I've ordered some seeds from the Diggers Club Seed Annual. To begin with we've decided to stick with seeds that we can sew directly. On order are:

• 3 colour bean mix (includes Blue Lake, Rattle Snake & Purple King) - $3.80, 20 seeds
• Chioggia beetroot - $2.75, 29-150 seeds
• Heirloom mix carrots - $3.45, 500-1500 seeds
• Sweet & Striped cucumber - $2.75, 30-60 seeds
