My inner city garden: September 2011
http://myinnercitygarden.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
My inner city garden. Or, trials of an allotment - and an occasional bird diary! Friday, September 30, 2011. My last garden was also inner city - on a balcony. Here is a piece I wrote about my last garden – in Christchurch. What is a garden? Most people would not call it a garden: it’s about 3 X 1.5m and is on the 3. Floor of an inner city apartment building. But what is a garden? A place where plants grow? A place for relaxation? A place of peace? If that’s so, my balcony is a garden. Why? This means I&...

http://myinnercitygarden.blogspot.com/2011/10/more-organic-veg.html
My inner city garden. Or, trials of an allotment - and an occasional bird diary! Sunday, October 30, 2011. More organic veg are on my table tonight. Picked a second crop of radish this afternoon (I can't believe how many people don't like these hot little numbers! And a lovely bunch of silver beet - not sure how I will use it tonight. I noticed my broad beans have flowers ready to open over the next few days, but I also saw some rust on the lower leaves :( not good! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

My inner city garden: Nature is unpredictable
http://myinnercitygarden.blogspot.com/2011/10/nature-is-unpredictable.html
My inner city garden. Or, trials of an allotment - and an occasional bird diary! Sunday, October 2, 2011. Funny how nature proves again and again you cannot trust small children and animals to do what you want – on command - today was no exception. I walked up to my garden, via a section of Wellington’s city to sea walkway. See this photo of United States troops. Camped there during WW2) and this time had my regular camera with me … I didn’t want to see a rosella. And not be able to get a photo - again.

My inner city garden: Update on the garden:weeds growing faster than plants
http://myinnercitygarden.blogspot.com/2011/12/update-on-gardenweeds-growing-faster.html
My inner city garden. Or, trials of an allotment - and an occasional bird diary! Friday, December 9, 2011. Update on the garden:weeds growing faster than plants. My neighbors runner beans are in flower while my second planting only 3 or 4 inches high. The Red Zone rhubarb is doing well: happy to be out of the liquifaction in a munted Christchurch section. I ate raw broad beans and peas while weeding, and bought this silverbeet and puha ( sow-thistle) home for tea. Spam and abusive comment will be deleted.

My inner city garden: November 2011
http://myinnercitygarden.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
My inner city garden. Or, trials of an allotment - and an occasional bird diary! Thursday, November 10, 2011. No-dig gardens and strawberries. Well I have just had my first strawberry of the season from my garden - my balcony one not the allotment. It was not as tasty as the ones I grew in Christchurch but maybe they will improve with the sun! And, if I curb my impatience and wait until they're fully ripe that would help too! Did you know strawberries don't ripen any further after they have been picked?
