The garden - September update

I have begun some planting in the third garden bed. There are Nasturtiums (rescued from Bunnings for $1 for the punnet), basil, chilli and Roma tomatoes. They were all seedlings from Bunnings. The Nasturtiums didn't look very healthy for a while but are looking better now and have begun flowering. I added some (almost completed) compost at the end of the garden bed and have planted some seeds there - rocket, carrot and radishes. In the pot next to the garden bed I have planted some Sweet Allsorts Capsicum and the seedlings have just emerged in the last few days.


Not all of the changes observed in the garden are positive ones! I discovered this Chilli seedling this morning. The silvery trail nearby suggests a night time encounter with a snail or slug!



Last month I wrote a message to myself to pull out the marshmallow weeds. Well, I didn't get around to it and it is now definitely a job needing to be done. Taller than me now, the marshmallow weeds are currently providing shade to the first garden bed.
