Weekly status of tyre garden - update 32
Overcast, a bit of rain expected. Evening temperatures have been a bit higher than last week.
Foolishly emptied the rain water tanks a week back to get rid of mosquito larvae. No rain since, but a rare (for us) municipal water outage. Need to seal the tanks properly.
Asparagus, needing weed control...
Sweet potatoes, looking luxuriant but wonder if this will be the usual problem of no underground growth?
Three of the twelve new interstitial lettuces.
One of twelve new cauliflowers.
Four of twelve new turnips.
Jerusalem artichokes.
More Jerusalem artichokes.
Marjoram, after severe pruning a few months back.
Qhite guava... the early ripening fruit gets stung and goes vrot/
New Contender bush beans broken the surface.
Signs of autumn - the swamp cypress turning orange...

Weekly status of tyre garden - update 31
Autumn is here... night time temperatures around 10degC.
Lots of unplanted tyres after getting rid of dead stuff.
Contender bush beans in production.
Newly planted Contenders.
Pick&Pay garlic coming up for the second time. The cloves aren't that big.
Globe artichokes being optimistic about the coming weather.
White guavas slowly getting bigger. Can't remember when they ripen.
Last of the autumn raspberries.
Sweet potatoes looking healthy.
Patty pan. Theere was one, but insect bites on it.
Small red cabbages.
Brinjals flowering.
Asparagus beds - wonndering how to top them up with compost/mulch that won't introduce weeds. My compost is quite suspect in this regard...
Original lima bean - second lease on life. Badly attacked by insects, but now flowering and producing pods.
Second generation of ima beans, planted from seeds of the above.
Gardening assistant, "helping" look for pecan nuts.
Husks are just starting to open.
The two types - small and large.
