Waiting for the sun

Waiting for the sun Today is the winter solstice.  At 8:50am the sun was as far away from us as it could possibly be, and I was there for it.  Like a crazy person!  The sunrise was set for 7:35am but we’re on the back side of a hill away from the rising sun so I knew it would emerge a tad later than that … Continue reading Waiting for the sun

Sarah the Gardener with Yates NZ

How to plan a vegie garden in a small space.I have a spare garden bed and the good people at Yates NZ gave me a full set of their Small Gardens range of seeds so I’m going to use that space to grow them all!The first thing to do was to make a plan to see if it all fits:✏ I drew the garden to scale on grid paper. I made 1cm on paper represent 25cm in the garden.✏ I looked at the back of all the packets for plant and row spacing to see if it would all fit was pleasantly surprised to see there was more than enough space for everyone!✏ For convenience it all ended up in rows, but that made it easy using the plant spacing guides to work out how many plants I would need for the space I’d allowed.✏ Next, I decided where everything should go with the taller plants at the back – which for me is the North end. ✏ I am going to save some space by giving the peas some trellis to grow up, instead of sprawling on the ground.Now I know how many seeds I need to start… I should probably get on and start them!I’ll keep you posted. : o)#Sponsored #Gifted #SmallGardens ...

This week was the first week in a long time where the garden could take priority, and aside from some dodgy weather and an accidental nana nap, I'm quite pleased with what I achieved.I'm especially proud of my chicken proofing. You can read all about it here : o) ...
