Ahhhhh... Nothing Like The Smell Of Manure Early In The Morning.....

The strip of garden behind the garage door is an uninterrupted, narrow with nothing but sand...

So after dropping Bryan off to school, I decided against driving all the way to Bunnings and settled for Big W just down the road instead. Bought soil conditioner, manure mix, some seedlings and off I went home to get started. But before that, I gasak-ed all the limestone bricks from Bunnings on Tuesday at 70% discount and lined them up to form a little retaining margin. Here you can see... just sand.... not a worm in sight.

After digging in the soil conditioner and the fertilizer and a generous shower, this was how it looked like...

First I planted the chives........

Then this Sandgroper tomato....

Then the capsicums

One more Big Mama Capsicum and lastly, the sweet corn. And at the end of Day 1 of gardening, Lady Greenthumb stood back, took in the view....and went into the house to have a scrubdown because she found manure in her hair... Yikes...
