The Neighbours Patch

December 1, 2008 @ 19:52 By Gavin Webber 5 Comments

I am happy to report that the neighbours veggie patch is doing well.

Here is the before shot we took about 4 weeks ago when we first prepped and planted.

And here it is now in all of its glory! This was taken yesterday.

As you can see, they now have parsley in front, then some spring onions, lettuce, 6 tomato plants (2 that I gave them), cucumbers, sweetcorn (from seeds I saved from last year), more spring onions, and pumpkins down near the compost bin.  The tomatoes have fruit developing on them, and Dale picked his first lettuce to take to the MIL.

Both Danny and Dale are so eager that they have dug over one of the spare beds in their front yard and they are going to plant some Sugarbaby watermelons.  They are going to water them with greywater from their washing machine.  Well done neighbours, you are doing great.  BTW, Butch told me to tell you to keep the bones coming as well.  He loves it when you visit!
