Day 4...

Hey there are little green angels already!!!!!! Little Brussel sprouts and Cauliflower are peaking just above the ground...in only 4 days? Wow!! :)

Day 0 ... 

Time to get my hands dirty again...woohoooo!!! Planted some winter vegetable seeds today... Used only potting soil in the seedling trays..hope this will do the trick! The winterbabies in the making are: Leeks, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts, some more Swiss Chard Spinach...and a handful of mixed herbs which I can plant elsewhere... I also found these very exiting Spinach seeds with a bit of colour variety called Bright Lights - I can't wait to see them... Also read a bit about companion plants.  Wikipedia has a great article on companion planting...thus I have to find some Dill seeds somewhere, and the Borage seeds I had went into a different tray...

Winter Garden...Progress...

This journey starts in the middle as winter is lurking around the corner, this will be my second successful - well almost anyway - season for vegetable gardening...

I was stunningly surprised that the sweet bell peppers keep on coming even though it's much colder at night, being fall season in Pretoria now, the days are still nice and warm (about 25degrees) and at night the temperature drops to around 13 degrees...As I understand Sweet Bell Peppers are more of a summer vegetable...but hey, who's complaining, they're beautiful!

These were my inspiration for starting this blog, they're too beautiful not to share

So let's get started on the winter garden...(more on summer later)
