L'orto di Bruno [Bruno's Vegetable Garden]

Today (Sep 23) I planted various seeds in bed #3 (refer map).

Specifically:
* Basil
* Dill
* Chives
* Lettuce
* Tomato
* Aubergine
* Oregano

I'm not expecting them all to germinate, so anything that comes up will be a gift.

I'm going to start using this blog more like a simple diary of plantings and other major events. Entries may be back-dated to the time of the events, to keep things in chronological order and to facilitate comparison in future seasons.

"Today" I planted some seeds directly into the ground with very little special preparation. Specifically: basil, oregano, dill and chives seeds were scattered randomly in garden bed #3 (refer map) underneath a peach tree.

I have several garden beds in my backyard. Below is a simple overview diagram, with South at the top (I live in Australia :)

During winter, I helped my uncle and our cousin pick olives.
The fruit trees were pruned. Spinach and parsley grew by themselves.

This will be the last regular weekly post to my gardening blog for a little while. Work and other demands mean that I won't be able to spend as much time in the garden as I'd like :( . Therefore I won't have much to write about.

Hopefully I'll be able to get back into my gardening (and this blog) in time for next Spring.

In the meantime, I may occasionally post reflective entries looking back at what's gone on in my garden in the past few months.

Bye for now, and thanks for visiting.
