In the previous post you can see that the spot I had planted the pumpkins in last time has now been used to plant my dwarf orange and mandarin trees. I had to set about clearing another patch! It is hard work but luckily we have a mattock which helps. There are so many thick roots and grass runners going in all directions.
Pumpkins and some spinach down the side for good measure. You can never have too many spinach. We use it all the time. Even my fussy 10 year old will eat baby spinach!
So that was done a couple of weekends ago and I was thinking that there is still a lot of potential space in the front yard if I clear it. This weekend has been spent clearing a third tier and also the space around my rose bush.
The rose has been here as long as we have and it produces such beautiful luscious smelling blooms so I wanted to keep it and I will find something to plant around it.
This weekend's efforts
Earlier in the year we also won that little green raised garden bed in a competition. It came with some seeds and a $20 Bunnings giftcard. We decided we would use it for our strawberries this year.
