Busy Busy Busy..

tomatoes - remove the first cotyledon leaves (the two leaves under the first true leaves
We transplanted some tomatoes today. We have had a little bit of luck in the last few years with tomatoes, but hoping this year to get a massive crop. We will need to stake these in a few weeks.
plant deeply, to the first true leaves. The white hairs on the stem will all turn into roots when under soil.
seedlings for sale!
We have plenty of leftover seedlings again this year and trying for the first time to sell some. Having some luck selling herbs but not alot of people seem to want the veges.

the aquatic plant tank

Our aquatic plants are doing well with the addition of the CO2 reactor. I will post some pictures with a how-to when I collect some good plastic bottles ><

Making Money?



Alongside our new garden maintenance business garden4you we wanted to have a go at selling some herbs from home to the local community. The coriander and dill we transplanted already are looking very healthy at the moment and we have plenty more to go! Really looking forward to seeing how they sell.

We grow a lot of marigold as its pretty rotten smell keeps away plenty of pests and attracts predatory insects
Transplanted some more seedlings today, we now have leftover thyme, chilli (hellfire, mild, and hot cayenne), tomato, garlic chives, oregano, capsicum, lebanese mini eggplant,  parsley (Italian flat leaf and afro), basil (cinnamon, thai and sweet genovese), strawberries and sage for sale.

More dill and coriander
