little garden: bean flowers!

http://littlegardenmelbourne.blogspot.com/2011/11/bean-flowers.html

Monday, 28 November 2011. My beans are flowering! 160; It's still quite a small plant but these are the first blossoms.  I wonder how long it takes the beans to form? 160; I'll find out soon enough! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Take a walk with me through my little garden. It's my oasis in the middle of semi-urban, inner-eastern Melbourne. I grew up in rainy, temperate Oregon so learning to garden in dry, warm Melbourne has been an interesting challenge. Happy orchid, sad orchid.

little garden: July 2011

http://littlegardenmelbourne.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, 31 July 2011. I've also recently decided to grow some colourful beetroot. These were bought as mixed seedlings - red, golden, and striped beetroot. I've also planted a set of golden beetroot seeds but apparently they're hard to germinate so we'll see how they go. My firecracker chilies were so laden I went through and picked every single red chili so they didn't rot on the plant! So even though it's winter there are a few things going on. A hint of spring. The bees were busy in my rosemary bush.

Gardening At The Junction: Garden Forum - News

http://junctionvillage.blogspot.com/2013/08/garden-forum-news.html

Tuesday, August 13, 2013. Garden Forum - News. O zgrow is now once again o. Pen to Guests, but not fully open as to them being able to view all forums, but enough to get their interest, hopefully. With Spring just around the corner, I am returning the 'open house' approach again, plus renaming the forums to their original format to make finding things easier, instead of the compactness that exists at present. Come on over to OzGrow. Posted by Gardening at the Junction. Have you visited 'Just Correas' yet?

Energy decline and self-sufficiency from Melbourne, Australia. Laquo; Older Entries. Goodbyes are hard……. August 15, 2016. Thank you all all my readers and those who’ve made regular comments; they’ve all been much appreciated. I will still read all your own self-sufficiency blogs and comment there, so we can keep in touch. Enjoy your gardens and the healthy food they give you. July 30, 2016. I’ve dried them, but never pickled them. Just thought I’d share this. I’m going to have a go. July 22, 2016. Final...

little garden: arthropodium

http://littlegardenmelbourne.blogspot.com/2011/12/arthropodium.html

Sunday, 18 December 2011. 160; The arthropodium are the grass-like clumps in the dichondra.  I also ripped out the wild violet that was in the back of the bed.  Yes it's a nice hardy clump, but it quickly became a messy mass with almost no flowers.  Some "weeds" have their uses but this one looked likely to get out of hand. I think it might be too late to see these ones blossom this year, but if they do I'll post an update! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A few more december flowers.

little garden: January 2012

http://littlegardenmelbourne.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 11 January 2012. It's a bit hard to believe I started this blog in 2008! It's been a real joy to keep track of how my garden has evolved in that time. I love looking back and reminding myself how far it's come. But I've decided to make a clean break in 2012 and to stop updating this blog. So as my last post, here's a reminder of how my little garden has evolved over the last three years. It has made it through drought. But I'd like to think it's filled out a bit since then.

little garden: November 2011

http://littlegardenmelbourne.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Monday, 28 November 2011. My beans are flowering! 160; It's still quite a small plant but these are the first blossoms.  I wonder how long it takes the beans to form? 160; I'll find out soon enough! My tomatoes are going gangbusters, probably from all this rain and a fairly warm spring.  They're about as tall right now as they were in January last year. 160; That's not really a good thing if you're just getting leaves and little fruit.  But I don't think that will be a worry. Happy orchid, sad orchid.

little garden: first beans and slow melons

http://littlegardenmelbourne.blogspot.com/2011/12/first-beans-and-slow-melons.html

Saturday, 10 December 2011. First beans and slow melons. The first beans have formed! 160; Once they get started they sure form quickly.  Since I took this photo yesterday, the long bean is now thick enough to pick.  Not much point eating a single bean but it's in the fridge for when a few of its buddies ripen. The melons were also pretty small at this time of year.  But not quite this small! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A few more december flowers. First beans and slow melons.
