After my visit to Petty'srchard I was very inspired to get back into the garden, even after the snails had eaten my seedlings of Broccoli Romanesco (Brassica olearacea italica).
So I planted rocket, oak leaf lettuce and curley parsley in a hanging basket, that should stop the little critters. I have done this before and as long as you keep the watering up, green stuff should abound.
In this bed I have celery (apicum) plated deply in the pea straw and surrounded by a yogurt collar to increase stalk and less leaf, surrounding the brassicas yogurt pot collars to hold back the snails. In this bed I have planted Kale Nero di Toscana, which Stephanie Alexandre raves about so wil be good to taste it. Have some Red Russian at work I must bring home.
The lemon tree is flowering really well this year, ammazing what a little compost and water can do (Well I was working in Melbourne)
