Magic Harvest babies are growing up.

I have mentioned before that I am participating in the Magic Harvest program which encourages people to grow their own vegetables at home and to increase their gardening and cooking skills. 

In some very exciting news, this program which began last year in a couple of Adelaide's southern suburbs and this year has expanded to a couple more is going international. The Magic Harvest concept is going to Japan! For more information about this go here. 

The seedlings I planted 3 weeks ago seem to really like their new home. They are growing very well. A few little nibbles here and there but generally all are going strong. Look how much they have grown:

Magic Harvest involves regular catch ups. The members of the gardening hub decide how often and where these occur. The group I am in meets fortnightly at the local community garden. It's great to catch up and talk 'gardening' with others. There's always lots to learn! Also, every few weeks there are workshops to learn more about gardening and cooking. Unfortunately I will miss the cooking workshop this week. :(  

This post can double as my gardening update for May. The planting and growing of my Magic Harvest seedlings are the main news for May. I haven't yet got around to getting snow peas planted. I had planned to post an update each month but then on Wednesday I realised it was June already and I hadn't done the May one. Oops. I'm still wondering where May went. It seemed to go so fast. Is it really June already??
