Lemons are a great fruit to grow @Sophie1 given they can be used in both sweet and savoury cooking. Growing different coloured veg = great fun.
The asparagus and strawberries are the first plantings in the raised garden beds of our new kitchen garden @Sophie1 which we made to measure for "square foot / high yield" garden spacing (90 cm wide x 2.4 m long to allow for 30cm x 30cm squares). It is recommended that some squares are planted with flowers that attract beneficial insects and/ or contribute to soil health.
@Sophie1 @Former-Member , sounds good! I love the rainbow silverbeet. I let it run up to seed so that I get more of it.
I've been pruning back shrubbery growing along our drive, cutting the bits into 20-30 cm lengths, then spreading it on the paths as a bottom layer under the wood shavings and chipper mulch. So I did another rubbish bin full of that today, and buried it under the toppings. I also put a bucket-sized pocket of soil into the edge of the path and planted a pot of Corsican Mint, as another groundcover I'll be encouraging to sneak into the paths. It likes damp shade, so I've put it on the south side of a shed in a place where it will get watered regularly. It has tiny leaves that smell and taste intensely of peppermint, and makes a dense mat at ground level. It's about the only mint species that doesn't totally take over the garden!
And also spread some bucketfuls of wood shavings in the chookpen. Even though it's covered, enough rain has blown in to turn the soil inside into mud... they thanked me by laying an egg.
