No-Dig Garden Update

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

After a few weeks of hot dry weather, the last week has been a little kinder to the garden and it’s had a good soaking again.

I’ve been harvesting handfuls of basil and the odd tomato, capsicum, and snake bean but mostly I’m waiting for the rockmelons to ripen. There are at least five in there, ranging from tennis ball size on upwards. This is my first time growing them and they are surprisingly easy and tolerant of variable condition compared to finicky plants like tomatoes.

I just love how fruits and curcurbits look when really young.

Rockmelons Are Go

The rockmelons were slow to fruit, running all over the garden festooned with flowers, but now that they have set fruit they are doing it with a vengeance.

And the biggest one so far…
