While I was away....

Last night we came back from a few days interstate to find the garden, our fish and the chooks all still alive. (Phew!)

WHEAT GRASS
The wheat grass that was planted Wednesday 30th May has grown significantly. (There were no signs of sprouts when I left on 3rd June.)



MYSTERY SEEDS
Also back in May, I planted some punnets of seeds and put them on the edge of the vegie patch. Unfortunately the Chooks promptly kicked them over and scattered most of the dirt into the patch. I counted them as lost and forgot about them but one of the punnets has definitely sprouted (below). It has lost its label but I'm pretty sure it's some sort of lettuce. (It also could be snap dragon flowers. I guess time will tell!) The second picture shows one of the other punnets which has some tiny sprouts in it. I'm not sure what they could be yet or even if it is something I planted!







CABBAGE
My cabbage seeds have quite similar sprouts popping up. (They're in the slots at the bottom of the picture. It didn't photograph well but they're there!) Perhaps they're just a weed that's blown in and it will turn out just like the sprouts in the tipped over punnet???











STRAWBERRIES

I ordered some Chandler strawberries from Diggers club. When they arrived, they were just a bundle of sticks looking like something from the Blair Witch Project movie. However, since I've been away, they've started to sprout green leaves. - I can't wait until they grow fruit!








BASIL

The 3 different plantings of perennial basil are also still alive. The one in the pot with the bottom cut out in the ground looks the best. I think I'll cut the top off the one in the pot by the vegie patch. (I should have done that before!)
