In an attempt to grow our own veggies again, we turned over the soil, raised the garden bed, planted (as per instructions on back of packet) carrots, capsicum and cucmber seeds, and fed the soil with fertiliser. Lots of watering when it was dry. Plently of sun.
Slowly slowly carrots started to sprout and the cucumber vine started twisting and weaving, even making some flowers but sadly no cucumbers and absolutely no sign of a capsicum, not even a sprout.
Can you believe randomly - out of nowhere - some tomatoes have started growing!
No trying whatsoever. They are not even growing in the spot that we turned! And there are quite a few bunches of tomatoes growing.
Who knew I was so clever!
Meanwhile back in the patch, after everything else has faded, finally capsicum have risen to the occasion and three good size capsicums are ready to be picked.
We will try again, but maybe we should just not try so hard!
