Sowing seeds.

Hi everyone!

These last few days have felt like summer, but I am sure there is more rain to come.

A few weeks ago, I soaked and planted 10 Peas in my mum's garden (I read that peas will stunt Garlic bulb size, so I am trying to keep them separate) but unfortunately only half germinated (or else the snails got to them before I did).

During this week, I have planted 2 varieties of Cabbages, 2 varieties of Cucumbers, 8 varieties of Tomatoes, Spring onions, Silverbeet (which I have neither eaten nor grown before), 8 Watermelon, and 9 Pumpkins which I plan to transplant to a ditch on our property.

I recently bought some 100% biodegradable, organic peat pots from Mitre 10 - They are obviously not economical, but I decided to use them for my smaller seeds and plants that are easily affected by transplant shock.

I have planted 6 Celery seeds in one of my peat pots because we have not had any luck at growing celery, so I am hoping for some success this year!

I've also been doing some weeding in my garden.  The dock is especially difficult because it's tap root is so long!

Thanks, Harrison.
