My planting calender

As I don't have a lot of space this is all I can realistically grow this year. I'll keep planting salad greens till the end of the year and try a few pots of potatoes and tomatoes when the weather starts to warm up in September.

All year

• lettuce
• rocket
• salad greens
  

September

• Chilli
  
• Potatoes
• Tomatoes

October

• Basil
  
• Parsley
• Other herbs
  

My Garden: Summer 2009 Backyard

Poor Buddha is even beginning to sag. I've made a few changes in the garden over the last week, my lillypilly is now in the ground surrounded with Japanese buxus.

I don't have digging space so I'm trying to fill the space along the fence with pots. Will try some Bird of Paradise, gardenias and a climber of some kind to cover the fence.

This mini rose is a gift from a friend, such a great feeling to see it doing well despite the heat.



Herbs such as sage and parsely are doing well. They love hot and dry.

My water source in the background (left), I just need to add a tap and put a mozzie proof cover on top. I'm not rushing we've not had any rain to save over the last two weeks and none predicted for the remainder of February.

Cute little Euphorbia, Brett's choice.
