Weekly update 02-07-2010

It's been a long week since my last update.

 

Work has been keeping me rather busy and away from home so the garden has been left in the care of the 'chief cook'.

Aquaponics

Our IBC has been performing well we've been harvesting some bok choi and our lettuces and spinach are starting to fill out. Today we planted out some more bok choi and started making the frame for the blue barrels for our second system.

Our Dirt Garden

We harvested our sweet corn last week and cut it all into smaller pieces and blanched and froze it all.

 

Our newest raised bed was filled with soil from our old veggie beds, this gave us a surprise in the form of random tomato plants coming up everywhere.

In our other beds we have some seed potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, purple carrots, egg plant, onions, zucchinis and beans.

 

Native Bees

The bee hives have slowed down with the cooler weather, the second hive still has a lot of bee activity around it once it warms up.

Poultry

One of our Australorps had started laying a couple of weeks ago, it was shortlived though it has stopped laying once again.

Spring should see them all start to lay, at least I hope so.
