Polystyrene Garden Junkie: Artichoke glory
http://polystyrenegardenjunkie.blogspot.com/2014/01/artichoke-glory.html
Detailing my move away from Polystyrene box gardening. How to create a polystyrene box garden. Monday, January 13, 2014. I love artichokes. They're beautiful, fast growing, block weeds, are virtually impossible to kill, and are delicious. I prefer the purple ones, but they're a rare treat because they're not compatible with my stomach, unfortunately. I have green ones too, which aren't nearly as pretty or fleshy. You can see the baby plants sprouting up now that I've pulled the older ones away:.

Detailing my move away from Polystyrene box gardening. How to create a polystyrene box garden. Friday, November 25, 2011. Who says lettuces can't be decorative? My first cherries have started growing, as have my apples. You have no idea how excited I am. Behind the fruit trees we've put up a trellis for the kiwi fruit plants and passionfruit. My sister had the wonderful idea of using plastic coated clothesline instead of wire so they don't get too cold in the winter. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

My Japanese plum tree sprouted first, and the nectarine and apricot have weakly followed. This is their second spring in my garden, so I don't have high hopes for produce this year. Violent and bloody - I still have the scar). Unfortunately, they now seem to be celebrating by seeding. Is this a bluebell? The damn rhubarb plants keep trying to flower. Links to this post.

Polystyrene Garden Junkie: Early spring
http://polystyrenegardenjunkie.blogspot.com/2014/07/early-spring.html
Detailing my move away from Polystyrene box gardening. How to create a polystyrene box garden. Monday, July 28, 2014. My first jonquil flowered a couple of weeks ago, just after the winter solstice. It's been a weird winter: warm most of the time with occasional bouts of freezing snowyness. My fruit trees' buds are swelling as a result, and I'm a bit worried that they'll bloom and then get frosted off. Anyway, it's nice to see the (damp) jonquils brightening up my patch of skeletal fruit trees.

Detailing my move away from Polystyrene box gardening. How to create a polystyrene box garden. Saturday, August 20, 2011. Now I thought it took 3 years before an edible asparagus formed, but one year after digging them in, one of my crowns has delivered a wonderful specimen:. Asparagus amongst the daffodils. I also stuck in a number of Rialto Fragrant Lilium bulbs. There's a good bulb stall at the markets which sells seasonally only those ready to plant straight away. I didn't plan. Dog vs Cat People.

Critical commentary on the Hobart art scene and beyond (& the occasional self-indulgent musing or rant). Guide to Hobart's galleries. Friday, June 12, 2015. On the Recent Changes to Australian Arts Funding. I did attend one party at the biennale by the way. I wasn’t invited, but the champagne was flowing and the art was terrible.
