Automating Watering and Starting Another Seed

In my quest to sort out the watering for the patch I bought another timer and hose and hooked it all up.

Trumpkins are going to be one of the hot trends this Halloween, check out these Trumpkins for inspiration.

It’s time to get the seeds started for the 2016 season. In this post I show you what seeds I am going to start and hopefully grow.

I’ve added more compost to the patch, and have also added the tap to the blue drum.

New world record has been made with Mathias Willemijns weighing in a 2624.6lb monster in Germany.

It has been raining a lot lately, hampering weed spraying plans, I’ve also come up with a way to store water.

New records in 2016 for Germany, Mexico, Ireland and Canada and a new world record squash weight.

The new season is almost upon us, I briefly touch on the two main areas you need to be thinking about right now.

I went and checked out Fieldays 2016 held in Hamilton.

Entry number 3 for the 150sq foot challenge.

The second post for the 150sq foot challenge. With a bit of an update on what Tim and myself are up to.

My first proper post about the 150Sq Feet Challenge, I show you the area I am growing in and the seeds I am using.

Wondering what to do in our off season? Why not follow the Northern Hemisphere growers and see what they are up to. I show you how.

I went up and helped remove the seeds from Tim’s pumpkin and checked out how the Cinderella Carriage build was going.

A busy week with car troubles, talking at the Waikato Horticultural Society night and the Cinderella Pumpkin.
