You should have prepared your soil at the end of winter and
be ready for planting…how exciting!
September is the time to plant your summer veg; beetroot,
cucumber, eggplant, lettuces, capsicum, tomatoe, silverbeet and spuds! Don’t
forget your peas and snow peas – there is nothing better than harvesting those
babies on a warm summers morning – a couple of years ago I picked 5kg in one
day from our bushes…oh those days!
This year I have been so busy teaching everyone else how to
reconnect with traditional wisdom, that my garden work is well behind…but I am
determined to get back into the garden before the month is out so I too can be
sharing in the bounty of the harvest!
We are still picking leeks, beetroots, tomatoes, broccoli
and cauliflower from our patch – and the most exciting thing recently was
harvesting our first asparagus!
Talk about delayed gratification – theses babies take 3
years to grow…so patience is definitely required, but there is nothing more
exciting than harvesting your first REAL asparagus spear after it has stretched
out from under the ground!
You should definitely plant some!
