Anna's Carrots

I'm so proud of her....and she's tickled pink....about her carrots!
Well done Anna for listening in class too.
My students were all taught an easy way to grow carrots....It's simple, it works....

Just look at these babies....

MARTINS Seed Raising Plug Mix

All you need is a semi large pot! 

Fill it with a good seed raising mix which you can get from Wollongong Wholesale Nursery  At the nursery we only use Martin's Seed Raising Plug Mix.

(don't forget if your a member, you get a 15% discount)

Plant your carrots, a few weeks later thin them.... continue watering them every day...but what ever do, don't fertilize them. You will get ugly shaped carrots if you fertilize the plot. There is enough nutrients in the seed raising mix for the growth of your carrots.

Here's a photo of Anna while visiting Jean's garden....It was a lovely day with good friends. Thanks Jean & Graham for showing us around your garden.... (another post to come)

As you all know this is the section I like, after receiving so many emails it’s so hard knowing where to start. So I will start with Jo P; Jo and her partner has recently moved to Albion Park after renovating the inside of their home; it was time to start the garden and what a mess it was. All of the trees had to be removed as they blocked the light or were weeds, so starting with a clean slate was awesome, somewhere for the dogs to go as well as the new chicken run, vegie gardens and also vertical gardens these have all started to take shape over the last few weeks and here is a picture of it so far.

How good is this result so far, well done Jo; I can't wait to see what you decide to plant in there.
And lets not forget Graham B for doing all the hard work.

Look how proud Leslie is with her spud harvest....
I like how you netted all your apple trees too....You should have good success keeping those pesky fruit-fly out of your apples.

This is a picture of one of Lesley’s apple trees all covered up so that the fruit flies don’t get in, she has also bagged most of the other trees we are trying to work out what works the best.

Thank you to all who sent emails and photos will try and post more next month.
