We decided not to buy new seeds this season. We're just a little too occupied with other things in life at the moment to get too picky with the specific plant varieties. We also realised that we have a huge range of seeds, thanks partly to seed swapping activities with friends back in autumn. :)
Crop rotation is important, and this formed a big part of why we decided to put what into each bed.
We recently put up a trellis on Bed 4, for the beans. Sadly, someone stole our star pickets at our community garden which will challenge our ability to trellis additional plants in terms of materials.
BED 1
- chives
- garlic chives
- bunching onions (seeds from M&P)
- onion: cream gold
- onion: odourless globe
- 'ishikura' spring onions
- 'supermarket' big & fat spring onion!
- komatsuna
- mibuna
- mizuna
- bok choi
BED 2
- sweet basil
- tomatoes: roma, beefsteak, green zebra. Maybe yellow tumbler and choc cherry!
- capsicum mix
- parsley
- mini eggplant (tiny seeds saved from a fruit given to us … probably won't work)
BED 3
- carrot: Manchester Table & "Chantenoy" red-core
- radish: easter eggs
- coriander, dill
- cut celery
- beetroot (mini)
- long red cayenne (pepper)
BED 4
- butternut pumpkin (only 1 or 2 this year)
- cucumber (Lebanese or Japanese, seeds missing)
- white zucchini (seeds missing!)
BED 4 against the trellis
- snow pea
- purple beans
- snake beans
- Zagrels Soldier beans
Scatter around all four beds
- sage
- marjoram
- chamomile (German)
- thyme
- dahlia flowers for a prettier garden
Seeds for planting at home
- chilli (vietnamese variety, saved from a vietnamese restaurant! planting at home so that it doesn't cross-pollinate with the capsicum)
