The March garden update

A couple of weeks ago I was going to post the garden update for March but thought it was a bit early but now here it is almost the end of March. Here is some of the garden news. 


Growth has been fairly steady in the garden this month. I have rescued a few seedlings from Bunnings (parsley, marigolds and some basil) and look forward to seeing how they go. The marigolds really seem to like their new environment. They look really strong and are starting to flower.

The beginnings of bright orange flowers

I planted some basil seeds a while ago and they seem to be going well in the garden.

The zucchinis and squash are, well, taking over the garden. Next year I will know to plant them further apart. I have enjoyed a few zucchinis and there are many more growing. The squash plants haven't produced as well but I am hopeful I will get to enjoy some soon. 

taking over!

I love seeing these bright and cheery zucchini flowers
Hoping to enjoy this squash soon















There have been a few visitors to the garden. I have discovered quite a few snails under the zucchini leaves. Something is enjoying the rocket I planted from seed. I hope the plants are strong enough now to withstand attack. I have had some difficulty in the past growing rocket in the garden, losing plants to hungry creatures.

Looking very healthy is the plant I got when I saw the Magic Harvest film last month. 


Next job is to do some weeding I think!
