It's well and truly summer with consecutive days nearing 40 C. Thankfully the irrigation system makes things a lot easier but the heat still takes its toll on the garden. The saucers are helping a lot this year, allowing me to more evenly water each pot so that rather than just having the excess water run out the bottom, it pools there and gets soaked back up into dryer areas. As a result I am only needing to water once in the morning, not like last year where I watered again mid morning and mid afternoon. I think tree root invasion in the beds is minimal too judging by their lower water requirements this season.</div>

One of the challenges in Canberra is the very short period of ideal growing temperatures between too cold and too hot. If plants make it through to autumn you often get a new round of blooming, but then it's a rush to get things ripe before the frost and cold weather arrive.</div>

Here's how the garden is looking mid summer. Grass is taking a pounding and I'm always wondering whether it's worth keeping over just paving the area or covering it with woodchips. It does look nice in autumn and spring though. My long term idea of moving the main bed to the lawn area and putting a mini deck where the main bed is now is still a good one, I might need to look at paying a landscaper to do it. It would give extra container space in the growing season and a place to have an outdoor lunch at other times.</div>

Mignonette lettuce isn't doing too badly under this shade cloth, only producing enough for sandwiches though, no salads. My attempts to germinate lettuce have failed with daily temperatures 30 C and over, I might try indoor or I might just go buy a punnet.</div>

These are Dragon's Tongue beans, meant to be bush variety but seem quite keen on climbing so I put in some bamboo stakes to keep it from climbing the fence trellis as I will need to move this when our complex is painted in a month, along with everything against the walls.

Swiss chard and crookneck squash. I don't seem to have much luck with squash past the first few fruit. I think without regular flowering the bees start to neglect it and then you don't get proper pollination, so you really need to dedicate an area with several plants.</div>

Jimmy Nardello fruit. I always thought these were small compared to those I'd seen on YouTube so grew a single plant in a larger pot this year to see if they would get any bigger, but they don't seem any different. Perhaps I need to try different seeds. Still, these are only immature so we'll wait and see.</div>

The two eggplant in the main bed, doing better despite being shaded (I cut the borage back a bit to give them a chance).

Chocolate beauty. None of these are doing well so, like in the smaller beds, I am giving them regular applications of liquid fertiliser. I didn't add anything to the beds this year apart from a small application of blood and bone and I think this is the reason the growth is stunted. I don't actually think it's from tree root invasion. Next season I plan to use the Scotts pelleted fertiliser for the beds too, as I have such good results using it in the pots. I also have plenty of compost in the tumbler ready to go on.</div>

It lives! This tiny almost forgotten Jalapeno was the runt that nobody wanted, spending spring and early summer in the greenhouse waiting to be given away or composted. Then one day I noticed it had put on a real growth spurt and even had blooms on it and I couldn't resist finding somewhere to plant it out. This small pot had the fenugreek in it, which had gone to seed. So I put the Jalapeno in it and it's loving it. It will most likely be the one I overwinter up here and plant out in a large pot next year.</div>

Finally planted out my spare sage too in the pot that used to contain the chamomile.

As I mentioned earlier, bigger, bushier plants and more fruit on the balcony shisito than the one downstairs despite afternoon-only sun and a small pot. Really looking forward to trying these.</div>

The anaheim on the other hand, tall and healthy looking but all the lower pods fell off (still not 100% sure what causes this, whether it's too much water, too little water, lack of wind pollination or other factors) but finally we have some fruit set on newer growth. I'll probably need to tie these stems to the cane to keep them getting weighed down. If I grow these on the balcony again I'll try tip pruning the seedlings to see if I can get a stockier plant.</div>

Interestingly, this fruit on this second year caysan are looking normal, unlike the short, almost seedless pods I had last year. I wonder if drying out a few times last season put the plant into some kind of shock where it produced smaller fruit? Definitely a welcome surprise as these are one of my favourites to cook with, not ridiculously hot and a good fruity flavour.</div>

Almost Christmas and our little garden is overflowing with growth, making it hard to get around some areas and even pick produce.<br />

Can't really complain though, and lessons learned for the planning next year.</div>

First off though, I thought I'd start by showing off the flowers we're growing this year which are now all in bloom.</div>

Crookneck squash and swiss chard. The chard is looking like it might do well being moved to a morning-sun only spot. I have harvested a few crookneck squash but the female flowers have stopped for the moment, hopefully we get more as they are delicious.</div>

Raspberries have done great this year. For the last few weeks harvesting a punnet every other day or so. Only problems have been some very cute but very naughty tiny green silvereyes (I originally thought they were finches) that keep figuring out ways into the net, but at least they only eat a small amount of the fruit. I've noticed some bullants, but they don't seem to be harming the fruit this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pest wise in general until today, it hasn't been too bad. The tiny black ladybugs have kept the spider mites well in check. Aphid and whitefly infestations were only very minor and have probably been taken care of by ladybirds and hoverfly larvae (the minute two spotted ladybird has made a welcome return this year).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have however just noticed that the medium sized black ant that plagued me last year is back in force. There were few here and there earlier in the season but suddenly, this morning, they're on everything, including on the balcony. A bit of a worry but we'll see what happens. I still am not sure what they are called, but they particularly go after flowers (often keeping bees away) and ripe fruit. I wish I knew where their nest was.<br />

Still need to repot most of these with new potting mix. It's looking more and more like I'm not going to do that until next spring. Lazy bugger.</div>

As we get into late summer and autumn, these guys will start getting more and more sun, and that's when I tend to get rewarded for my patience with lots of fruit. I've considered building some kind of platform to put them out on the rail to get more sun but I think it's better for the moment just to work with what we have. If we were NE facing rather than NW that would have been ideal, but unfortunately not able to change that. The tradeoff is that the balcony gets lots of sun in the cooler months.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What a beautiful morning. There is a week of cloud, showers and rain forecast, so I decided it was a good time to take some pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The garden is now at full capacity - with every single pot I own (bar one potato grow bag) planted out with something. So that's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10 x 25L pots</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10 x 15L pots</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 x 19L pots</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
5 x 40L pots</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6 x 11L self watering pots</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
20 x 8L self watering herb pots</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8 x 8L self watering troughs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 x larger self watering trough</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 x 45L potato grow bags</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a couple of extra bits and pieces, all squeezed into my tiny approximately 6x6 metre square garden (plus balcony) along with the three raised beds and 2 whiskey barrels. It's been a lot of work squeezing it in around our new baby (having two months off work has helped) but feels so worth it now.<br />
<br />
First, a couple of harvests.</div>

I let two buk choy go to seed this year, a purple tinged one and one I call "easy tear" because the leaves separate very nicely from the base. From the looks of it I will have plenty of seeds, just in these bags to finish drying out (with the top open to let the moisture escape, of course).</div>

In shadow there is the lettuce pot that I harvested from all spring (definitely worth the $5 or so I paid for the mixed punnet), lettuces now bolting. Considering trying to save seeds from the red green speckled butter variety but I might put it in a new pot first as this pot is going to be replanted.</div>

Okay, so that's Swiss chard on the left (harvested heavily last night) with a few radishes, in the first whiskey barrel are my purple podded peas and a few head lettuces, this too will be replanted soon. In the other whiskey barrel is supposed to be a sweet dumpling squash in back and a crookneck in front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I say supposed to because it sure is growing bushy, not vining like the ones I had last year. I may have done another seedling mixup. The growth might change or it could turn out the one in front is the dumpling one, which is going to be tricky because I need to train it back to the fence there. We'll see what happens I guess.</div>

A closer look at the purple podded peas, my favourite snacking variety and also for their pretty flowers. I am going let 3 pods go to maturity as I am out of seeds. Next year I'm going to add another (temporary) section of trellis on top as these get around 2 metres tall and as you can see from them flopping over, just need that extra bit of support.</div>

In three of the troughs I have transplanted our favourite yellow Romano beans, plus a few cucumbers - in the second one I am trying the Kiwano or African horned cucumber again. There will be space for other things in the front of these troughs, for now I am growing one last round of radishes, beetroots, spinach (bolting) and mixed loose leaf lettuce (also not enjoying the heat).</div>

The kohl rabi have done really really well, although they need to come out very soon as they are shading things with their massive leaves. The biggest sized bulbs I've yet grown though, we can thank our mild spring for that. In the back there is the San Marzano.</div>

This year I co-planted all potted capsicums with zinnias. A couple died from stem rot thanks to being planted too deep or with wet mulch around stem (oops) but most survived. Will be nice to have them flower earlier in the season and to keep them going by dead heading. Last season I tried to grow them in the native clay below the pots and they took all season to grow and flower.</div>

I would also like to do this with my two dwarf citrus trees but it would mean pruning them a bit more so they can turn unobstructed, so I am not sure yet.</div>

Up on the balcony now. I think I'll replace the strawberries with a low maintenance flowers (probably larger multi coloured violas, since they don't mind winter). We also have Fenugreek and Chamomile. I am hoping I don't have a million volunteers all over the place next year by letting these flower up here. If nothing else the plant has been great at bringing in ladybirds.</div>

Long time since the last update. Had a decent winter season but we've been busy growing something else - our first child. Have still had a little time to get the garden together for the year while on extended leave from work. Despite all the usual media hype from a few unseasonably warm days early in spring, the rest of spring has been exceeding mild and not many consecutive warm sunny days, so it's been a bit slow going but it's coming together now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First thing's first though, a bit of a rewind...</div>

Early in the season, I dug out the main bed to line it with geotextile fabric between the gravel and soil layer. The two smaller beds were done last autumn. The best thing in hindsight would have been to line the ground underneath the bed with it (including under the edges of the bed), then add gravel layer, then another layer of the fabric, but it's too late for that now - not unless I want to pay some landscaper a fortune to do it for me. So this has to suffice and fingers crossed it keeps out most tree roots. Even if it's a fool's errand it will keep the soil and gravel layers from mixing too much, which is still worthwhile as I was getting more and more stones each year from digging over the beds.</div>

If you look closely you can see many greedy tree roots (probably some from the hedge too). I'm kind of wishing I took this opportunity to rake the gravel to one side and try to line underneath too, but oh well.</div>

Here's how the garden is going as of early November. Added a few pavers to make getting across the lawn easier without walking on it, and also as "temporary" places to put pots (at the moment two Florida F1 dwarf tomatoes and the blueberry).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The blueberry was loved to death, not sure what it was exactly but all the blooms just died probably from one or a combination of anti-fungal sprays I was using to combat rust, or perhaps over-fertilising. It was overdue for a cutting back so I gave it a heavy one, hoping it'll now have a good long season to rejuvenate for next year. Shame about no blueberries this year (in truth, this is not the best variety for our climate) but hopefully as you'll see below, the raspberry crop will make up for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just out of shot I have my usual assortment of small troughs above the worm bin, two shallots, two spring onions, two lettuces and one pak choy. Speaking of pak choy I let two go to seed, a purple variety and another variety I started from a purchased seedlings back in autumn that I really liked because the leaves tore cleanly from the base. Let's hope they are true to type. I've noticed the smaller native bees in particular love brassica flowers so it's been good to have something for them. I have some bolting cabbages I might use for the same purpose before they get composted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Radishes have been squeezed in here and there too, unfortunately the ones I was most looking forward to trying, "Watermelon", bolted right away despite being planted in very mild weather. I'll try them again in Autumn. I'll let a few go to seed because I've heard the seed pods are tasty and I am getting low on French Breakfast seeds.</div>

New arrangement of the pots along the window, with 4 x 40L at the rear (including the two citrus) and 4 x 25L in front. One of the things I wanted to do this year with the layout is not have any tomato plants touching. I realise that disease is going to spread in such a small garden regardless, but hopefully it won't be like wildfire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The smaller strawberry tub were all volunteers and have produce some really lovely strawberries, the existing "Temptation" strawberries in the larger self watering trough aren't much good though, so I'm thinking I'll compost those and then transplant the ones from the smaller trough to fill it when they start producing runners.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

In the pots are my lemon and lime trees (the lime is flowering like crazy this season), Bullshorn, Jimmy Nardello and Marconi capsicums, Borghese and Blueberry tomatoes.</div>

This is the new raspberry bed which was constructed from the two west facing side beds with the addition of a frame and wire trellis, and the potted raspberries were transplanted here in very early spring. They've done really well. We've got many more blooms than was possible in the pot they were in last two seasons so we're hoping for a decent amount (and hopefully the ants that spoiled so many last season will stay at bay).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This bed was also lined with geotextile fabric. I am also lining pots with it, mostly as a filtration measure to keep the saucers cleaner. Worms can still squeeze their way around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In front are the Red Gauntlet runners that were propagated last season - although I am very disappointed with this variety too. Small and bland, at least so far, I'm wondering if they will improve now they have decent space. If not they will end up going if I get a decent amount of runners from the volunteer strawberries (probably sprouted from composted store bought strawberries which nevertheless taste infinitely better when grown at home and are much bigger). As usual I have more volunteer strawberries coming up all over the place but it's always a lucky dip.<br /><br />Bottom right are two grow bags of potatoes (Sebago and Royal Blue).</div>

This is the east facing fence. The peas and garlic will be gone soon, replaced by beans and cucumbers. I'm trying the Kiwano again this year too. Along here I am also growing another Principe Borghese tomato, Jalapeno (overwintered and already flowering) and another Bullshorn. Broad beans haven't done well this year, strangely they did a lot better in the native hard clay soil. I don't think I'll grow more than one or two plants next year if any as the space is better used by more peas. Speaking of peas I think I overdid it in the troughs with three rows, so it'll be two next season with a little more generous spacing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the whiskey barrels we have some beans, dumpling squash (to climb), crookneck squash, purple podded peas and lettuces. Also a new pot of swiss chard (bit disappointed with the variety of colours I germinated this year) and lettuce.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The mints are doing well but are starting to get shaded by the angle of the sun, the lemon balm needs repotting badly and have been infested with spider mites that survived winter. Fortunately the tiny black ladybirds that eat them also survived and I think I'll have a good supply of them this year to save my cucumber, bean and other spider mite attracting plants.</div>

This is the main bed. There are a lot of Borage, Marigold and Heartsease volunteers, as well as shiso and Thai basil I am pulling like weeds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In each corner are tomatoes (A nice medium red variety saved from supermarket, San Marzano, Sweetie and Red grape) as well as one Florida F1 dwarf. In the front are three capsicums (Chocolate Beauty, Poblano and Cubanelle).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is also yellow squash and zucchini in this bed, two corn plants (I had planted ten, but I think I went too early and they rotted), a couple of Okra and two eggplant (one each Black Beauty and Tsakoniki). Also three Kohlrabi that I am hoping will be done soon as they are shading out summer crops.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Originally I tried to plant parsnips in the centre of the bed but they didn't germinate, probably seeds too old, thinking this area of the bed is hard to reach so it makes sense to have a long harvest once crop there. Instead I will transplant leeks there once they are big enough. I also had some bean volunteers I am thinking of pulling or transplanting but we'll see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are also radishes and a few new types of flowers in the bed (Salvia, Nasturtium, Corncockle, Alyssum).</div>

In the two smaller beds we have a mirror planting, one tomato each (Tigerella and the large Yellow one I loved last year), one eggplant each (again, one BB and one Tsakoniki) and two capsicums in each bed (in this case, Yellow Marconi and Anaheim and Bullshorn and Shisito in the other). Each also has a Lebanese cucumber, some more flowers and basil. The beds won't be mulched until they really need it in summer.</div>

Speaking of the balcony, we have a kale plant destined for downstairs (then again I haven't had any cabbage aphids or whitefly attack it up here, so it might be the best place for it) and this year's chilli / small capsicum varieties. We have an Anaheim, Razzmatazz (in its third year), Caysan and Jalapeno (both overwintered) and two Shisito, a new variety I am trying this year.</div>

That's all for now, hope your gardens are going well!</div>

Sorry about the lack of updates since November - pretty much the whole growing season. I took plenty of photos but just too busy to organise them and write blog posts. I am working on starting up a proper YouTube channel in addition to the blog, will probably start that next spring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a disappointing season in some respects and a good one in others. Did well with some of the cucumbers, really badly with the squash. Most of the tomatoes did really well with a few exceptions. An overload of Jimmy Nardellos the point I got tired of eating them. Other capsicums and eggplants were variable. Poor main bed design meant too much shading, hard to do pruning/maintenance in the middle of the bed and so on. Definitely planning to do things differently next season.<br /><br />The lime tree gave us limes finally and it's still putting out new flowers in mid Autumn so we might even get more over winter. I plan to prune the citrus pretty heavily early spring to shape them and possibly pot them up one last time to a 40L pot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chillis were really successful on the balcony, in fact, all of them are still loaded with fruit. Will try to overwinter the Jalapenos to get an early start next year, but might give the hots a break next season as I don't really have a great method of preserving the huge excess of fruit outside of freezing. I did make some hot sauce and try pickling some but to be honest I don't really tend to use them much like this. I still have bags from last season in the freezer too, let alone this season.<br /><br />Haven't had a frost yet, it's been a lovely Autumn really, with the first of the real cold set to arrive next week. A little late with starting my winter crops, ending up buying most of the brassica seedlings because I had neglected my own seed starts and they had been eaten pretty badly by caterpillars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One note of good news this season was the arrival of a tiny black ladybug which feast on my arch nemesis, the spider mites. I sure hope they overwinter here so that they can keep them in check next season as they really do wreak havoc with cucumbers, beans and some other crops. I suspect my strategy of hosing them off every few days in summer rather than using pesticides is what allowed the black ladybird population to flourish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next season I plan to do the larger capsicums in pots. My favourites this year with the anaheim, although I got very few because I planted it in a really sub-optimal position, and a supermarket-seed saved variety called bullshorn, which were simply delicious roasted. Maybe one of the smaller beds for the tomatoes plus one or two in pots. Main bed probably corn and squash. I am thinking of moving my raspberries into a raised bed by the fence as although they seem to do okay in a pot (bar some annoying new ant I got this year eating much of the fruit) I think they'll do a lot better grown in a more traditional fashion. I could add a second variety too. Could probably put strawberries in front of that. My focus next season now that I have tried out a lot of varieties in the past two seasons will be a "less is more" approach, trying to get better production with fewer plants, being those I've enjoyed eating the most as well as those that have done the best in our climate.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and I promise more photos and updates in the future as well as hopefully videos.</div>

Another November update. We had a week of 30 plus, a bit of rain, and now the weather is mid 20s again. Summer is just around the corner.<br /><br />First some harvests.</div>

Planted some cucumber (double yield) and beans here too. I'm not sure if it's worth keeping the bolting spinach, does it need a "male" plant to pollinate it?<br /><br />This bed is going to become a corn bed when the rest of this stuff is harvested.</div>

Eggplants taking their time, seemed to be picking up some fungal disease from the leaves so I've sprayed them and they'll hopefully pick up. They are well behind this time last year. Tomatoes growing more slowly than the potted ones, which probably had a higher dose of fertiliser. I don't mind if they grow slowly though, there are still many months left of the growing season.</div>

I will add some support soon but at the moment they are holding up fine by themselves.<br /><br />I think the west facing fence, especially nearer to the house, actually does better for sun/heat loving plants than the east facing one. Gets a similar number of hours of sun but at a higher intensity.</div>

A disappointing year from the blueberries, but that's largely due to stressing the plant last year by waiting too long to prune and then transplant it, and not noticing the rust earlier this season.<br /><br />I'm getting lots of strawberries though, even if I've made it hard for myself to get at them.</div>

So here's my lineup of potted plants. Back row is raspberry, meyer lemon, yellow pear tomato, black cherry tomato, black grape tomato, Taihitian lime. In the front are 6 Jimmy Nardello capsicums. I have planted some zinnias in the spaces between those pots but I think the slugs are going to get them.<br /><br />Everything is growing really well. The tomatoes I am pruning to three stems each.</div>

I am pretty sure it was a cockatoo who ripped out stems and leaves and the early fruit. Very disappointing as I had no such problems previously. There is a little bit of the crown left in the one that was completely pulled out, if I am really lucky it will re-shoot. Otherwise I'll have to replace it with a volunteer.<br /><br />Not sure how I'll go about protecting these - putting a cage up here would look really ugly. I'll have to think about it.</div>

<br />Here are the chillis. This was taken just after midday, and you see the sun just creeping into shot. They get afternoon sun only but get it until quite late because they are high up and facing NNW, so I am confident it will be enough. I produced an overabundance of chills last year so I can probably do without as many this season.</div>

After a slow start we are kicking into high gear. Still a lot behind last year in some ways but things are looking up and this is looking like the most productive year yet. I am also impressed with the resident population of pollinators and predators meaning I haven't had to spray much at all.</div>

I harvested my garlic - a bit early. The tubs had dried out and they were wilting, making me think they were ready. So I pulled them a bit small but they should be nice and potent.<br /><br />In their place I have planted marketmore cucumbers on the left, zucchini on the right, plus some pole beans. The sugar snaps at the back are getting bigger, hopefully I'll get at least one good harvest out of them before it gets too hot. They get shaded from early afternoon here so that should keep them going a bit longer.<br /><br />In front is a pot of carrots.</div>

Had a bit of a setback with the blueberry - had some rust infection. I trimmed most of the affected leaves and sprayed it with copper, will see how it goes. Will only get a modest blueberry harvest this year.<br /><br />I up-potted the strawberry into a pot twice as large, managed to do it without disturbing the roots. I suspect all the lush green growth is from the dynamic lifter, or maybe that's just how second year strawberries look.</div>

The peas failed because the peat pots didn't break down in ground and they became root bound inside. The toilet roll ones on the other hand worked great. Lesson: don't use peat pots, unless what you are growing has an aggressive taproot system that can break through. Growing beans up the stakes in the side.<br /><br />Have learned that buk choy really prefers winter, doesn't thrive in warmer weather and bolts early. Pak choy on the other hand doing great.</div>

The lineup of hot chillis, now planted out. As mentioned earlier the buk choy didn't do well here during the warm weather, although I did get one good meal out of them. Because of the high angle of the sun as we head into summer, these pots only get sun from lunchtime on, so will be interesting to see how they do - on the flip side, in autumn as the angle drops again they should be getting more and more sun for their second flush.</div>

Corn bed. There are some bush beans here planted which haven't come up yet, and if you look carefully a wee b little pumpkin in the middle. The pot is shielding a transplanted corn from the sun that didn't seem to have much of a root system as nothing came up in this spot (I might have missed putting a seed here, oops) hopefully it makes it.</div>

I am growing spring season crops here, planning to plant corn here mid to late summer. I have pak choy and buk choy, spinach, beetroots and peas. The peas don't seem to be doing great, they were transplanted from fairly shallow cardboard pots and I wonder if they let enough roots through initially. It doesn't appear to be insects as the leaves look clear. I will persist with them and pull them if I need to. Alternatively I could try pruning them below where the leaves have started to curl and see what the new shoots do.</div>

Blueberries starting to ripen. The bush is about half the size it was last year but I am hopeful the fruit quality and size is better. Hopeful for another flush of flowers but it might not happen. These second year temptation strawberries have huge leaves and very nice looking flowers and early fruit - fingers crossed. They are netted too.</div>

Up on the balcony, the transplanted strawberries never took off (I think I cooked them leaving cloches on during sunny days) so I went out and bought some instead. The variety is "red gauntlet". I am trying pine bark as mulch this year because I think the pea straw has some powdery mildew spores.</div>

This survived winter, a minor aphid infestation which was cleaned up by the hoverfly larvae and has now been topped up with fresh compost, fertiliser and re-mulched. I took all the fruit off too hoping it will spur new growth and buds, which it has (I'm sure the warmer weather also helped). I decided against re-potting it completely as I don't think it's root bound.</div>

These haven't grown very well. The buk choy doesn't seem to do that well in the warm season, the pak choy does better. So I'll probably harvest these in a week and then put the hot chillis in these pots. I hope they get enough sun up here slightly tucked back from the roof of the balcony, they are shaded until about midday but then get sun all afternoon until nearly sunset.</div>

Unfortunately the rat has destroyed all my pea starts, severing the stems. I don't know whether or not they will produce side shoots or not. I'm going my best to catch or poison them but no luck so far.</div>

<br />The Chinese broccoli is looking good, except the one the rat bit off the growing tip, not sure it's going to recover. I need to make some more of these little cages to protect the peas, beans and other things the rats like to destroy. Maybe I should put some spike strips on the ledge too so they don't traffic across it.</div>

The carrots seem to be a bust with most of them sending up flower stalks. Will need to plant them much earlier next year in Autumn or wait until late winter. On the plus side, I don't need to wait anymore so I can probably clear this bed to plant out the nightshades mid October. I am hoping it hasn't been too root invaded this year, so that I don't need to dig it over, just top it off. The turnips have already come out because they were going to flower too. I have a few nice lettuces too.</div>

Bees not too good at making it through the net yet but if I get them accustomed to go going under they should be able to find their way through soon. When it's finished fruiting I can move it back out of the way and get the lawn back.</div>

<br />Chard is starting to bolt, fine by me as I would like to dig over this area before planting. Last year I direct sowed some things here and they became very leggy, my thinking is if I can get them started well in modules first they might tolerate this part shade area better. So I'm going to put more chard here, some beets, spinach and some buk choy. It's a tricky area because it's in the shade all morning until it's in the hot afternoon sun.</div>

I don't think buk choy likes to be transplanted, or it could just be the time of year I started them. I will be more careful with my starts not to disturb the root ball too much. Still they are a useful size for eating so I'll eat them in the next week. I have sown some more seeds in the pots, although I will be using these pots for the hot chillis this year when it warms up a bit more, I can pull the buk choy as baby plants if they aren't very big yet. Or I could just let them grow with the chillis until they are ready to harvest.</div>

Not for the hard work bit - harvesting the worm castings. They were still quite wet but I did my best, added in a bunch of shredded cardboard when I was done. It really needed to be done and it was a bright, calm day so I couldn't wait for them to be dry as well. I mixed them in with old potting soil which will be used for the warm season's container plantings. These large black tubs are extremely useful for things like this as well as making up potting mixes and so on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />I also potted up some carrots and an early cucumber, will see how it goes or if I have gone too early. Being in a pot I can move it under cover if I need to if we have a bad frost.</div>

Mystery herb in brassica bed. It tastes like oregano but there was no oregano here, only basil. It could just be a weed.<br /><br />Well that's it for now. The largest of the balcony cabbages are pretty much ready to harvest and look fantastic, so thinking of what to do with them - can always make coleslaw if I can't think of anything else!</div>

Giving these seedlings a bit of sun as they don't get a huge amount in the balcony greenhouse, only a few hours due to the changing angles. There's a volunteer tomato in there that with the chard that I'll probably keep. I have beets, red sorrel, red mustard, leeks, spring onions and rainbow chard.</div>

Chard that made it through winter. I have mulched this bead with grass and leaves. I found running the leaves twice through the mulcher (a leaf blower in reverse) gives me a pretty nice mulch that spreads easily.</div>

Compost is more or less finished ready for sifting out and using. It's was mostly leaves and coffee grounds, with some buckets of food scraps and garden waste. The left hand side split a bit at the axle but hopefully this thick cable tie will hold it together. Need to be a bit more gentle when turning it.</div>

<br />I have tied the raspberry canes to the outside of the cage. The idea is that the new canes will grow inside the cage. The buds were already green at this time last year so it's a bit behind, a sign that the season isn't going to be quite as long without El Nino helping out. I have relocated the pot over here where it will get a little less sun (although being tall helps) but the idea is that being closer to the fence will give it a bit of protection from the hot, drying winds.</div>

I've put the strawberries here to give them a bit more sun to spur on some more growth. I don't want them up on the balcony just yet with all the rain forecast. Still figuring out what I'll use to mulch them, thinking about black fleece with holes cut out. I suspect the pea straw I used last time was responsible for the ongoing powdery mildew battle.<br /><br />They're only tiny right now but I am hopeful that they will fruit this summer/autumn. Probably depends if they are Temptation or something else as they are transplanted volunteers.</div>

Final winter update.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gearing up for the long awaited spring season. We had one week of nice weather two weeks ago but it's been overcast or raining since then. Today the sun came out a few times so I made the most of it.</div>

Capsicum and chilli seedlings. These are all by the window on a heat mat. I'm thinking I might not need as many hots as the razz overwintered and I still have a lot of frozen chillis, so I might try to separate one of the other varieties and use both if multiple seeds germinate.</div>

Up on the balcony I have finally transplanted new pak choy starts into these pots. I'll see how they go with two rather than one in the pot on the left. This variety gets quite big with huge leaves but is delicious, I think I like it even more than than the green stemmed one.<br />

Beets - there's actually a tomato volunteer in there too, so it looks like these will actually germinate in unheated balcony greenhouse in late winter. I have no idea what it is, but I have a soft spot for volunteers so I'll probably find somewhere for it. I try not to add tomato seeds to the compost.<br />

Downstairs now. These volunteer strawberries from the fennel pot have been transplanted to these troughs destined for the balcony edge. I don't know if they are temptation or from store bought, we'll see how it goes. I'm planning to use black fleece with cutouts rather than mulch as the straw kept blowing away in the wind and I suspect it gave the strawberries powdery mildew. It should do a good job of keeping the fruit off the soil and keeping the soil from drying out while letting rain through.</div>

In the first of the two covered beds the broccoli di ciccio has formed heads. They're a bit loose but I think this is normal for the variety. I am looking forward to eating them as I have never had fresh broccoli before. Should keep providing me small florets after that until this bed is replaced with corn closer to summer.</div>

This bed is full of life. I didn't amend either of these beds before planting, I just dug them over good. Looks like I unlocked a good amount of organic matter. On the left is mizuna, then rocket, tuscan and blue curled kale, wombok on the right. This is the first time I've really grown rocket to a huge size like this, I guess that's what I get for trying to grow it in the warmer months. It's a lot milder like this too. There's also a spinach somewhere in there and some beets at the back. There are also some mystery plants, I'm not sure what they are but they don't look like weeds.</div>
<br />
The blue curled kale is very sweet from the cool weather with juicy stems. I will definitely grow more in future.<br />

The oregano didn't die back much over winter although it was looking a bit ratty. I'll probably just let it grow. I don't think I need both as they taste pretty much the same to me, so if one fails to thrive I might replace it with something else. Marjoram in the middle was cut back and is looking a bit sad but I'm sure it will recover. It self seeded on the ground below so I have transplanted that seedling into the pot. The bees absolutely love it.</div>

The kohlrabi starts have been transplanted into these two 25L pots, should hopefully be ready by the time I need them for tomatoes. Last season I think I fed them too much and the foliage got out of control, so I'll see if I get the same bulbs this year without the huge leaves.<br />

The waste bed has been breaking down nicely, I put some more scraps in there and then covered with leaves again. It will be a while before I am planting potatoes here, probably October.<br />

I have given serious consideration to removing both the side beds, mulching them with tanbark and using them as more container garden space like the north facing window instead. The reason is invasive roots from what's growing on the other side of the fence as well as tree roots just seem to deplete the soil quickly. We'll give it another season though and see how it goes.<br />

Some of the bulb fennel ready to harvest. I overplanted this with 6 plants, I think 4 in the future, but they have grown well over winter. I have to keep it well watered now though because it's drying out quick with all that foliage which tells me the root system is going to be extensive. I might harvest 5 and then leave the last one to bolt to collect the seeds.<br />

Blueberry looks pretty sick compared to this time last year, but there are lots of new leaf clusters behind the old leaves. The bees are visiting often I am still hopeful of a good harvest from it. It actually flowered at the right time, last year it was flowering late autumn which was too early. I probably won't need to cut it back after this season.<br />

Minutina. I tried a few blades but it didn't seem to have much taste, hopefully it will improve as it gets bigger. It's supposed to have a nutty taste.<br />
<br />
Well that's all for today. It won't be long until we're enjoying the spring weather and things will be growing all over the place. I'm looking forward to the insect, lizard and bird life returning too (not so much the pests though).<br />

One thing that makes coming back from holidays bearable is to get back and see what's happened in the garden while you were away. There always seems to be a huge growth spurt due to not checking on the garden every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even this winter, no exception. There was a bit of wild weather while we were away so I was a bit worried, especially about the lime tree which has blown over a couple of times. On return we lost one greenhouse cover but everything else was okay. This was the kale/rocket/mizuna bed but everything seemed fine, only the tuscan kale looked a bit worse for wear. All the brassica crops have put on a growth sport while away, and the large leaf buk choy has begun to bolt. So I harvested two for last night's dinner and the last one for tonight's laksa.</div>

It's a very root bound pot and this is under cover so gets no rain. Chocolate mint and the mystery mint below and lemon balm seem okay. As the mystery mint (grown from a garnish) has a leggy growth habit and doesn't really taste much different from my other mint, I'm not going to repot it. I'll dry what's left early spring and use the pot for something else. </div>

I also have some self seeded coriander coming up from the cracks between the bed timber and the footpath. I have no idea if it will survive or not but I'll see what happens.

Shallots look good for an early spring harvest. Lettuce all bolting and will need to sow some more soon. Something pulled out the spring onions (or tried to) but they seem to still be alive, will likely put some more growth on soon. I think I'll mulch this pot.</div>

So that's our garden, mid winter. It's still cold outside but when it's not raining, the days are bright and sunny as you can see. It won't be long until I am starting the spring and then summer season seedlings. I am not expecting the long El Nino fuelled season we had last year but still excited about what I'm planning to grow, many new varieties of capsicum, tomato, eggplant, corn, beans and so on, and I'll try to grow a few more flowers this year too. I'm also aiming to use less bagged stuff and more free stuff, like shredded leaves instead of pea straw for mulch, and I have a good supply of worm castings and finished compost.</div>

Winter has arrived, but not in earnest. Lots of rain and cool days but no heavy frosts yet. I'm sure they are coming though. It's a long time until spring, but even come August I'll have plenty to do. With La Nina forecast it's unlikely I'll get anything like the super-long growing season we've just enjoyed.<br /><br />There's still a bit happening though and it was a nice day so I went out and took a few photos.</div>

I have a feeling these will bolt in spring rather than form big bulbs so I'll have to keep a close eye on them.<br /><br />There are a lot of mushrooms in this strip, I'm not sure whether to leave them or remove them.</div>

Radishes have grown quite well, I have quite a few ready to harvest and good ratio of bulb to foliage. I'm learning it's good not to give them much nitrogen. Turnips and carrots on the other hand aren't doing much yet, but I wasn't expect to harvest them until early to mid spring anyway.<br /><br />I had planned to heavily mulch this bed with shredded leaves but because of the slow growth, I haven't done it yet. The rain hasn't helped either, not going to go collect leaves while they're matted and soggy.</div>

The volunteer strawberry seedlings in this pot will be transplanted out when they are big enough. In the front is minutina and leaf lettuce - no signs of the leaf lettuce yet but the minutina is starting to sprout. If it takes much longer with the lettuce I'll sow them again and put plastic over the top, but I didn't think they had problems germinating in the cold. Maybe it was all the rain.<br /><br />The blueberry is starting to recover from the savage over pruning and repotting I put it through much too late in summer. It won't really pick up until spring though.</div>

The sublime is not that cold tolerant compared to the Meyer lemon. It wasn't the best choice for our climate. Since I'll prune it back heavily in the early spring it doesn't really matter. It's mostly the new growth that is losing leaves.</div>

The variety of buk choy I am growing this year has these huge leaves, different to the bunching green stemmed variety I grew last year. The smaller ones are meant to be wom bok but I at the moment they look like buk choy too. The two in the back are broccoli de cicco, not expecting much until early spring.</div>

These were all direct sown in mid autumn which is normally too late. I had started brassica seedlings earlier but I really neglected them and they didn't make it except for the kale.

I found a caterpillar and squished it. I hope there aren't too many more. The second from the back is a double header. This is the sunniest growing area this time of year, maybe 6 or 7 hours - will be even better once the oak tree drops its leaves.<br /><br />Thanks for reading.</div>

I wasn't going to do another post this month but it was too nice a day today to not get out with the camera. We had a lot of rain a week ago but the last few days have been sunny and warm. We had one night min of 0 but it couldn't really be called a frost. Certainly not enough to kill anything.</div>

Chillis up on the balcony. Hard to believe it's mid May and these plants are still going and still ripening nicely. Next season I plan to do all the hots (5 in total) up here, and probably use this space to harden off my seedlings.</div>

The kiwano vine and beans have been removed. I'll let the vines dry out and fall off on their own. I didn't sever the stems of the Scarlett Runner as there's a chance they may shoot new growth next spring. I have also planted peas and broad beans here. I just hope the rats don't find them.</div>

I found a surprise kiwano over the neighbour's side of the fence, the ripest of the bunch. This is an east facing fence and the kiwano clearly needed all day sun from both sides, so if I ever grow it again I'll need to keep that in mind.</div>

The celery was harvested too. I cooked most of it, it was probably the equivalent of one bunch as the stems were thin and hollow, but taste wise no complains. I'll let the celery leaf sprout from the bottom and see how it goes with the frosts. The onions look good here despite only dappled sun, I can see a few of them forming bulbs. There is also self seeded corn salad here - I pulled a lot out thinking it was a weed but there are still many plants remaining.</div>

Sorry about the blurry photos. The miner's lettuce has sprouted (I probably sowed far too many of them) and the sorrel is growing happily here in the shade. I did notice those spot gets an hour or two of reflected sunlight from an upstairs window this time of year, so that's nice.</div>

I will plant either potatoes or corn here next season, and not until late spring at the earliest, so it should have plenty of time to break down. If it doesn't break up as fast as I hope I'll plant potatoes as I don't think they need very fine soil.</div>

<br />Compost tumbler has been moved off the lawn to this spot. It's still a bit chunky but hopefully will be ready by spring, at which point I'll use it to top off the beds and then start up a new batch of leaves, coffee grounds and scraps. There is good population of volunteer red wrigglers in there to help it along.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is the first review on this blog. I'll update it with pictures when I have time.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have had this bin for 2 years now and it has produced a lot of castings for me, in a small space, and consumed countless buckets of food scraps and cardboard.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Setup</span></b></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Pretty easy. The instructions tell you to put the packaging at the bottom of the bottom tray. I found this coated cardboard didn't break down after a year at the bottom of the farm. It's good to put something at the bottom to keep the bedding from falling through the holes too much but this packaging cardboard probably restricts airflow. So probably better to use something more permeable like a few layers of newspaper.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I had also purchased two worm blankets. In practice I found the worm blanket to become a hassle after a while. Initially it's easy to remove but eventually the worms start to live in the blanket and fill it with castings, it gets several inches thick and really heavy, and eventually breaks apart (but doesn't actually break down very fast after that). Better to just keep the farm topped with a layer of say, shredded newspaper or cardboard and during warmer months at least, make sure it's in the shade (I cover mine with a tarp in summer and year round with shade cloth and they have survived 37 C highs and -8 C lows).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Australian model comes with two trays, I have seen the US model come with three. I purchased a third tray. More is not recommended as it might become too heavy for the plastic legs.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Feeding</span></b></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At first it may be advantageous to cut your scraps up a bit more for the worms. I've even seen people put them in a blender or food processor. However, once you have a large worm population, especially in the warmer months, the worms eat very fast (helped probably by the warmer temperatures breaking the food down faster). I've put a heavy compost bin full of coarse scraps in there and had it disappear in a few days. It might not be a bad idea in winter though, but I don't usually bother. I will usually coarsely chop large scraps (like watermelon rinds) before I throw them in the compost bin though. I don't put in citrus but I doubt it is harmful in small amounts - the worms will avoid things they don't like until they are sufficiently broken down enough to eat. Many seeds will germinate inside the worm bin and because of this, they are safe to include. This includes things like pumpkin and cucumbers. Others, especially those that require light to germinate, you are probably best avoiding putting in as these will likely stay dormant and then pop up as "volunteers" (ie. weeds) in the garden bed later.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Make sure to include "grits" like a handful of sandy soil now and again, coffee grounds and ground up eggshells. I let my eggshells dry (after rubbing off the egg white residue on the inside under running water, which is where salmonella can breed) and then grind them up in a mortar and pestle.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I also add shredded and soaked cardboard on top after each feeding. I got a shredder from Officeworks (Ledah PX880) which importantly is rated for corrugated (packaging) cardboard (many paper shredders say they don't do cardboard, although thin cardboard probably works) and also cross cuts into small pieces, so it's perfect for this purpose.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Harvesting</span></b></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'll describe what I've found be the best harvesting method for this type of multi-tray bin. If you just need a few scoops for potting or planting hole, you can lift off the top tray and scrape some off the top of the tray below. During warmer months, there are more worms in the lower layers likely because it's cooler there but during the cooler months, most of the worms are actually in the upper tray where the decomposing matter provides warmth as well as food.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Before harvesting, don't feed and definitely don't water the worm farm for at least a week. Leave the spigot open so the worm farm is well drained. I usually dilute this runoff or "lechate" and use it on hardy non-edibles like the hedge. Letting your worm farm dry out a bit will mean the castings are more "fluffy" and less sticky and gluggy which makes them a lot easier to harvest. It will also make the trays less heavy - they can be very heavy if water logged, especially if you are moving more than one at a time.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've read a lot of harvesting guides that say if you feed before harvesting "most" of the worms will then congregate around the new food. This hasn't been my experience - at least in the warmer months, as stated above. So you can't really count on the lower trays to be free of worms. Nor am I a fan of dumping out castings on a tarp and making a worm poop pyramid - not when you have multiple trays you can take advantage of. So I'll describe what works for me and it's relatively mess-free.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Harvest on sunny but calm day. The sunnier it is (in terms of brightness, not heat) the easier it will be. First, take the top (feeding or working) tray out and place it on a work table or tarp of some sort. Then take the tray you want to harvest out and place it on top of this tray. I have three trays - if you only have two, what you can easily do is take out your full (bottom) tray and then place the working (top) tray back onto the base. Then place the full tray back on top of this. This will allow the worms to escape back into the lower tray as you harvest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It shouldn't take long that any worms near the surface will burrow down to escape the light. Now take your trowel and scrape off a layer of castings into another container. You will expose some worms, who will then burrow down further. Keep going until you reach the bottom - at which point most of the worms will have escaped into the tray below, where you want them, or be clustered in the corners. If you only have the two trays - you're done. And your now near empty tray is your new working tray. If you have three trays, you can now invert this tray and dump out any remaining large scraps/worms into the tray below and then grab the second full tray and place it back on top of your working tray and continue. When you are done, the fullest tray should go on the bottom and the emptiest on top. If you keep the harvested castings outside cover them. If they get rained on they become a bit like poop jelly and are harder to mix into soil or potting mix.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Maintenance</b></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have at different times had infestations of red/brown soil mites, springtails, soldier fly larvae and so on. Generally you don't need to worry about them as they respond to favourable temperatures/conditions and then decline when they change and help in breaking things down anyway. Do add garden lime or "worm farm conditioner" every few weeks (ground eggshells serve the same purpose) or if the worm farm starts smelling sour, as well as aerating the surface a bit. When I open the bin generally a few hatched black soldier fly will make their long awaited escape. They are harmless and do not bite or sting. The base also accumulates castings over time so a yearly hose out (over a lawn or garden bed, preferably) is a good idea, as well as the lid especially if the ventilation holes become clogged with castings or mite eggs. In summer during heat waves you may need to water the farm occasionally, just run water through it with a gentle shower from the hose and then use the runoff to water the lawn or trees (probably not a good idea straight on the vegie bed). Feed less and more often if possible during very warm weather as large amounts of decomposing food will also add heat to the farm. I have had the farm overheat on occasion from this (also being late to cover it with the tarp when we had our first really warm spring days) and the smell is unpleasant to say the least, and the worms didn't enjoy it much either, poor buggers.</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Conclusion</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, that's about it. It's a good product and produces great castings out of your kitchen scraps. If I had the space or budget and my time over I'd probably have gone a continuous flow system like the "Hungry Bin", but you're still going to get runoff, have some heat/pest problems and you still need to scrape the castings out from the bottom, so it's still messy - not to mention a lot more expensive. But it would mean less lifting and shuffling of heavy tubs of castings.</span></div>

It's been a beautiful Autumn, warmer and sunnier than usual. I'm know the rain and frosts will be here soon but it's been mostly glorious weather the last few weeks and it's been a pleasure working in the garden.<br /><br />It's been a sad time too though. A week ago my grandfather passed away. As well as a scholar and pastor he was an avid lifelong gardener. I don't know if I caught the gardening bug off him or off my mother or it's just in most of us to get back to earth and to appreciate where our food comes from. Still I was always in awe of the beautiful gardens and produce he produced. The last time I saw him he was showing off his lettuces and brassicas. I'll miss not having him there for his gardening wisdom, although thankfully he passed a of that on to my mum. But mostly I'll just miss not having him there.<br /><br />I'm not strictly an organic gardener. For example I often use processed fertiliser to give a boost to seedlings where there isn't much soil biology to break down what's in the soil. But obviously I'm trying to make more and more of my own compost and worm castings so I don't have to buy so much bagged stuff. It's tough with limited space though - for example it's hard to just leave a bed out of the rotation for a season or grow green manure crops in it. If and when we buy a new place I'll have a much bigger patch then, but having a small area is a pro as well as a con as it's relatively low maintenance.</div>

However I found a small number of seeds in a few of the last ones, which I have kept. These capsicums were small but prolific and very sweet. I might plant some of these seeds next year and see what happens. It could be the ones with seeds are the ones that were cross pollinated and I could end up with something unexpected.</div>

The caysan especially still has quite a few young chillis, and this position maximises the sun and will provide a shelter from perhaps the first light frost or two. The habanero has been harvested for the second last time. It's produced probably 150 pods this year and is a lovely looking little bush.<br /><br />Not to waste the space and sun, some mini-cabbages have been planted behind. I re-used the potting soil from the chillis, with some blood & bone and worm castings added. I have written a review of the Can o' Worms worm bin and I'll be posting that soon.</div>

I decided to put the two kale seedlings I had here as there was nowhere else. The tuscan one was pretty root bound and not happy so we'll see how that goes. The dwarf curled is already putting on flush of leaves. I did grow it last year from a bought seedling and it was nicer than the tuscan type. We'll see how this goes.</div>

Also in this bed is rocket from saved seeds, and mizuna and spinach that haven't come up yet. When the plants in these two beds are bigger I'll mulch them.</div>

I plan to cut this kale back in early spring and see what happens. It's mostly been eaten by whitefly and aphids but I'm hosing them off and spraying with pyrethrum once in a while. I haven't pulled down the beans yet. I did try the ripest kiwano and it was very interesting, but I probably won't grow it again (certainly not anywhere but full sun, as it needed the whole season). I have three left I am hoping ripen a bit more before I pull them off.</div>

The garlic is looking great, and it will have as long as it needs next spring to finish maturing, unlike next year. I have lots of parsley but I know it will not grow very quickly over winter, so it's good to start with a lot. The sweet banana capsicums will come out very shortly when the last few are a decent size (or if we get a frost forecast).</div>

<br />I harvested my first edible beetroot from this little pot. Absolutely delicious. There is one more of decent size in there but the others don't fill me with confidence. I'll put the tarragon on one of the shelves soon to give it a little frost protection, but it was one of the first things to come back last spring so I'm sure it won't die completely. On the right is more coriander.</div>

Far right bed might be a better choice for biannual or perennial greens as it still gets a little bit of sun this time of year, unlike the one on the left. Then again it gets good sun during late spring and summer so is ideal for corn. It's basically an open compost bed now of the undiseased chopped up annuals, coffee grounds and leaves.</div>

One set of the shallots have come forth. The second were a purple variety from the store. I'm hoping they shoot too. Parrots have found our last strawberries of the season and stolen pretty much all the ripe or ripening ones. These have no powdery mildew at all so I might transplant these to the balcony next year and throw the existing ones away.<br /><br />Thanks for looking.</div>

Down to days under 20 and single digit nights but no frosts yet. Might still be a time off yet. Plenty of nice sunlight but garden is increasingly in shade. On the other hand the balcony is getting more and more sun due to the elevation against the lower angle of the sun and not being shaded by the oak. The balcony will also provide shelter from the first few light frosts, so I'm thinking of putting a table up here and putting all the chilli pots up here and maybe some of the frost sensitive herbs. This will give me room to move some of the other potted plants into the centre where they'll get more sun again.</div>

This bed has been planted with brassicas. It will soon be covered with a greenhouse cover. The bed seemed a bit lifeless when I dug it over, still had some dead roots from last season. Not everything came up, what I need to learn to do is plant seeds less close together so that if I need to fill gaps I can transplant more easily. I'll top it off with worm castings and composts then leaves once the seedlings are big enough.</div>

Chard doing okay but in total (but not heavy) shade now. So probably won't get a lot of production before spring. If I'm lucky I'll get some good production in spring before they bolt. I'm thinking these beds weren't the best idea as I'm fighting a constant battle with invading root systems from the other side of the fence - might have been better just to have them bare and used for more container garden area.</div>

It's middle month of Autumn. In many years the first frost date has already been, but generally it's sometime this month. So it's not far off in any case.<br /><br />This will be the last update before I pull all the summer crops out of the beds. I'll let the frost kill the potted ones, and I'll see if I can put a cover over maybe my 4 favourite chillis.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />Here's what I've been havesting in the last few weeks:</div>

The Nardellos are the sweetest and taste great without any help from cheese. I think they'll be bigger next year when I have one per pot rather than two.</div>

I forget the variety, they were supermarket bought. About 6kg and some huge, sorry YUGE potatoes. Very mild scab here and there. I suspect could have gotten more if I'd been able to leave it a bit longer as some of the foliage stems were still thick and green but I wanted that area back.<br /><br />These were waxy type, so I have been making potato salad with them, a family favourite! Good to know they grow well in this position for next year, even if it does occupy a walkway. But I might do them in a bed next year. </div>

I didn't capture it but there is one YUGE chilli on the other side about 3x the size of the others. I wonder if I save seeds from it it will be any bigger than others next year?</div>

Aerial shots of the autumn garden. The spider mite infestation did its damage but seems to have subsided, maybe it's the cooler weather or something has been predating them. I didn't plant peas, so I guess I'll not have any until spring.</div>

The tomatoes didn't do fantastically here, probably because they only get sun from one angle and were trained up a fence. So I didn't get much fruit compared to the ones in the beds.</div>

<br />My first beetroots which are more than just foliage. I have three good size ones in here. It's helping teach me about thinning strong seedlings - the seedlings which aren't strong might make it, but they will rarely flourish I think. Better not to thin too early either.</div>

Neglected my pots a bit. I think there is an ant nest in the carrots. I should probably pick that small head lettuce before it starts rotting.<br /><br />You can see the quality of spring onions is much better when you don't over-plant - had some YUGE thick and dark green ones, which I am treating as cut and come again. Compared to the thin ones next to it where I overseeded and didn't properly thin.</div>

These were onions I planted out in spring, the stems rotted at ground level and fell over. I figured they were done for, but now they are coming up again. Very cool! I hope the shallots I planted here do the same.<br /><br />I still haven't harvested any of the celery - I did try it, it was stringy and firery. I don't think I'll grow it again. It'll be fine for a stew or soup though I think.</div>

<br />Corn needs to be pulled. I have not even been eating the beans growing through it. I should probably pick some and freeze them. Then again maybe I'll just dig it over and leave the corn stalks and bean foliage there to break down over winter, and cover with leaves. Not enough sun to grow on this side of the fence in winter anyway.</div>

Probably waited a bit long as it's going to be on the small side next spring, but perhaps this will also mean it won't flower so early in winter.

<br />A last shot of the tomatoes before they come out. The basil I have left go to flower for the bees. I'm at a bit of a loss on what to do with it all outside of freezing it. I could make pesto but it seems like a lot of work and wouldn't suit many of the varieties. Next year I will be less ambitious, maybe 4 varieties instead of 8.</div>

Pleasantly surprised that some of my plants are making a bit of a comeback in Autumn. I should say that it doesn't feel like Autumn yet as we've had about a month where the daily temperature has been over 30 degrees, so still very much summer weather. We're due a week or so of rain soon (although still over 30 degrees) which will be good for some things and bad for others as it will no doubt spread mildew spores everywhere but that's okay. Season is coming to an end soon anyway.</div>

Here is how I preserve my chillis for cooking. I freeze them first so they are hard, then vacuum pack them leaving plenty of excess so I can reseal again in future. These are the razz and caysan chillis which are my favourite for general cooking. 8 and 7 in heat respectively.</div>

Plenty of new flowers and ripening fruit. It dries out quite quickly now which is not just the heat but also I think the root system was damaged.<br /><br />I cut the strawberries back, and it seems that some remaining fungus has killed some of the new growth but I am getting enough that I'm satisfied. I'll give it another spray next time I prepare the fungicide.</div>

Cut the beans back as they're dying off (spider mites mostly). Not sure whether I want to plant peas here or not, I think I'd rather leave the soil so I can rework it more easily but that means waiting until next spring for peas. I suppose I can always pull them out if I don't want them. I'm not sure if the spider mites would go after them or not.</div>

The spider mites have been on them but I suspect something might be eating the spider mites (actual spiders? I've spotted a few on the leaves) and keeping them at bay enough to get some good growth. So it's a really nice surprise.</div>

Apologies there hasn't been an update in a while. Late summer has been much hotter than early summer and it's taken it's toll on the garden and sapped my energy a bit. I also added a timer to my irrigation system, and so don't need to spend as much time out there as I used to. Which is sort of a pity, but it's nice that the plants get adequate water during the hot spells and don't suffer if I forget or am away. I also lost a lot of photos in a memory card crash.<br /><br />Spider mites hit a lot of the crops hard - wiped out the initial cucumbers, really attacked the beans and eggplants too. I started more cucumbers but only the Lebanese have produced much so far, the others aren't doing too badly though. Powdery mildew also started after we had a week or so of steady rain. I'm doing what I can to prolong the season a bit but since I want to start root crops early autumn, it's not a problem that they won't make the frosts.</div>

Several things I have yet to plant out like buk choy.

At the bottom I am growing lettuce and spinach in the shade. They are covered in spider mites but they don't seem to be affecting them much - I'll give them a soap spray soon though.</div>

Relocated various herb pots here to get more sun, and they don't really impede the walkway or shade things behind them. My coriander has finally started back up. The ones growing in the shady area were leggy and fell over, but are still alive (slow growing though). The one I let go to seed has produced mature pods. I have lots of green beans.</div>

The heat wave brought on spider mites which wiped out my cucumbers and started on my beans. I'm trying to keep them under control with soap and oil sprays. I had some Lebanese cucumbers started which I have transplanted as well as sown new seeds to replace them.</div>

The broad beans were finally pulled, and replaced with these cucumbers. The sad looking one was just transplanted and hasn't established enough roots yet to stop wilting in the sun. I had some onions here too, I think I mulched too high over them causing the foliage to rot and fall over - if I just cut off the shoots will it just send more up? I will probably have to try it. There aren't many onions, just an experiment.</div>

Cos ended up doing pretty well but has now bolted. In the middle is the new spring onions, I thinned them a bit early though because it appears some pest has nipped off a few. I can always plant more as they germinate quickly. And the older spring onions to the right which have flowered and are setting seed pods.</div>

Corn appears to be doing well although some cobs didn't get fully pollinated (half cobs) and the climbing beans are now pulling some of the corn down. The smaller ones should probably have been pulled but for the moment I'll just leave it. I am still not good in picking them as I have harvested two I thought were ready but weren't now I'm a bit afraid to try.</div>

I have moved the lemongrass to get more sun and the lime too. The lemons are getting bigger, the lime still worries me that I'll have none this year despite it putting on some new blossoms a few weeks ago. I cut the blueberry back, I butchered it really and seems in shock now but it should recover. I should have cut it less, and earlier right after it was done fruiting.</div>

Chillis. The poblano hasn't put on any new blossoms for a while so I'm a little worried about it, everything else is thriving and I have my first ripe ones on the cherry. The ones on the balcony are doing well too, I'll include them in the next update as I should have some ripening ones by then. I have 30+ habaneros and even more Razzmatazz (I think they are sold here also as coloured "Thai" chillis).</div>

The sunflower finally bloomed! Very pretty. It didn't enjoy the week of rain though. And after waiting all that time it's now about to drop its petals I think and form the seed head. I will check how root bound this one got end of season and decide if the pot can handle 2 or 3 next season.<br />

Marketmore cucumber - had two so far (took them off while only about 15-20cm) and they were really nice and sweet. Hopefully I'll be flush with cucumbers soon so I can let them get to full size.</div>

Got a very modest amount of fruit this year, but it was from only two canes (one which split into two at the bottom, so more like three canes). There are 5 canes for next season assuming no more pop out later in the season. I'm going to put a much bigger tomato cage here to attach the canes to. I also think that this needs to be in a spot which gets morning sun but is a bit more shaded in the middle of the day.</div>

Many more ripe raspberries - birds haven't seemed to attack it yet, even the wattlebirds in the nearby oak who were pinching the blueberries. A bit of leaf damage too - I think it's sun scald? I'll cut them off when I have more leisure. The moisture meter shows this one drying out fairly quickly - the potting mix is from last year and has no coco coir in it. So I'm giving this a water in between running the irrigation every 2 or 3 days.</div>
