Getting My Organic Garden Ready For Summer

We’ve had some glorious spring weather here in South Australia this past week or so.

Some lovely warm spring days and a couple of wintery, windy days too. Today was just perfect for being out in the garden.

We’ve decided to sell some produce at our local farmers market (Barossa Farmer’s Market) and are gearing up for it. Hubby has dug in a heap of compost to our very sandy soil. And he’s just set up a new irrigation system so that we can automate at least some of our “chores”.

Summers here are really hot and dry, so the plants can’t cope without regular watering. And neither of us have time to hand water for hours on end, so thankyou Michael for taking care of it now.

Of course I’ll still be taking my ever expanding variety of herbs and other edible plants to the market each Saturday, but we also plan to have an assortment of summer vegetables and a few heirloom veggies as well.

Anyway, get outside while it’s gorgeous and develope your green thumb. You’ll save yourself a packet by growing your own veggies and there’ll be zero food miles (kilometres). Plus, if you’re growing organically (highly recommended), you will be eating healthy, chemical-free, living food – hooray!

Happy Organic Gardening, Healthy Living…
