My Garden in Spring

Posted on 22 September 2009 by backyard farmer

I thought I would share some images of my garden at the start of spring…

Peas are starting to flower and fruit in the raised vegetable beds down the side of the house…

The Kohl Rabi has a little way to go.

I have also been busy planting out the front of my home, to take advantage of the spring rain.

I have taken cuttings from my grape vine out the back, and transplanted them out the front of the house to train up the pergola.

I have also planted five olive trees along the driveway.

I have constructed a raised garden bed to grow vegetables in at the very front of the house, which is located on a busy Highway in Melbourne.   This is an effort to prove to others that it is reasonably easy to grow your own food, no matter where you live.
