The mélange of the backyard-scape

I've been focused on my Vetiver Ventures as my major outdoor activity. Consequently the vegetables and herbs have had to wait their turn before god attends to them.
I am god, you see...either that or a servant.
Whatever: the…

After years of experimentation I now have a garden that has 'structure'. Less jungling and explosive but easier to manage than in days of yore.
Despite what may have been my past perspective, I have reduced the size of the garden that grows my veg.
Given my space quotient, compared to my BLF peers, this may seem an anathema.
But there…

I may call on the animal kingdom to help me with my stock, but anything that floats in my soup du jour comes from outback.
Pride of place in the broth is always the radish.
I'm a daikon aficionado and that includes the Watermelon pinks (pictured).
I'm at that stage where I'm beginning to foster a supply line. They are never…

No rain. Brutal drying westerly winds. Warmer days...This time of year is 'Spring' -- sort of-- but without all the elements converging as they should.
A little precipitation would help. Enough to suppress this waiting and dampen the earth.
But as my ma used to say: be careful what you wish for.
Mind you, 'tis pleasant enough except for the gusts.

Love the Updated Profile and Avatar, you really have a gift Dave, you are an inspiration to all our Members I am sure. Could I say to all if you are a newer member please take the time to read through some of Dave's Blogs etc I promise you that you will gain a different prospective on how Sand can become Humus. Be sure to read about how Dave has inspired Children to garden at his local school, and his Cooking and Recipes skills have gone from strength to strength.

Thanks for your reply mate I do have flowers but they wouldn't be a metre high due to the very sandy soil and low nutrients even though I did put lots of compost in before planting .I planted them initially to stop the neighbours walking across the front lawn,Your plants sound really healthy and you can look forward to good yields 3 to 4 kilos per plant if your lucky and not forgetting the flowers wich will be a real head turner. cheers
