Spring Vegetables From My Organic Garden

Organic gardening is such a pleasure through the milder months here in South Australia. It’s mid spring now and that’s why I’ve not had much time to write here… sorry!

Not only am I spending time in my veggie garden, but I’m constantly potting up my herbs to sell at the Barossa Farmer’s Market each Saturday morning.
Not to mention the other propagating I do – division of some of my larger plants, growing from seed and then there’s the cuttings that need to be done! In the picture below there are lavender cuttings on the left hand side, rosemary cuttings in the middle and several types of sages to the right hand side.

It all takes time, but I LOVE it! (Don’t they look great?) Oh, just looking at the photo now I see that the cuttings to the far right are my variegated lavender.

Just in case you’re wondering, the cutting tray is sitting on a heat bed and under two fluorescent lights. There’s aluminium foil behind the tray to reflect as much light onto the plants as possible. I took the plastic tray cover off to take the photo.

If you’ve had a go at getting cuttings to strike, I’d love to hear about it – so please share by leaving a comment.

If you’re new to organic gardening, you might like to learn about it from my website.

Happy Organic Gardening, Healthy Living…
