PHOTO 1: Cross over planting from Winter to Spring – Celery Seed placed in furrows under mulch of hand cut barley stalks – planted last week of August – if frost strikes the barley should protect the seedlings – but usually at this time of year frosts are finished. ALSO planted Spring Onion (early August)  from seed using similar method of cover – emerging seedlings are not affected by frost. Late season Mustard was also planted.  Date of Photo: 30/08/21

PHOTO 2: Chinese Cabbage planted on a “Turkey Nest”. Plants are sown direct from seed – 100 seeds per square metre in May – then thinned over Winter until only a few seed plants remain. This is the most prolofic seeder of the cabbages. Early seed set and maturity unaffected by frost. Date of Photo: 01/08/21

PHOTO 3: This Broccoli is in flower – sown from seed direct in garden May – plants are then thinned – leaves may be cut for salad or stews – Turkey is denied access with Portable Fence Panels – in another 6 weeks the panels will move – giving birds access to this Winter Garden Section. Date of Photo: 01/08/21
