It may be Winter but we are still growing strong.

In the greenhouse...
A thriving hydroponic unit, now that we have replaced the vermiculite with clay balls.









The seedlings are quite happy with their second set of leaves just starting to come through.



In the garden, the broccoli just keeps on growing, even after cutting the main floret & secondary shoots.


I'd better pick these for tea!

    Thanks Debbie & Sue.
    I've always wanted a greenhouse & my previous next door neighbour gave me the website for the homemade hydro plans.
    He went the whole hog with making up his nutrients from scratch whereas I called on the expertise of Bunnings ready made gear!
    Cheers
