My Neck Of The Woods: vege garden cont.....episode IV.....a new hope

Well it's been an interesting few weeks in the garden.

The old compost soil had conveniently decided to turn to mud, so the small plants didn't have much of a chance. I removed any little seedlings that did fight their way through, dug out some of the muddy compost and replaced it nice loose compost soil from a different source. I then replanted the battle ravaged seedlings into this softer soil and crossed my fingers, hoping they would fight on and make it. Well.... they seem to be doing just that.
A couple of the old pak choi plants seem to have made it as well and are still growing. I also planted a new lot of pak choi seeds in the new soil and I am starting to see new life springing up in the garden. It is a good sign of things to come.

The previously struggling lettuce are growing in height finally and I have an entire row of new little pak choi seedlings. The spring onions are struggling on, slowly but surely and the chillies in the pots seem to be doing well. In fact they are starting to show some of the purple/green colour in the leaves that they are meant to have.

The coriander (cilantro) is flowering well, much better than expected after my harsh pruning and harvesting. I should get a good lot of seeds from it to help replenish my coriander seed stocks.

So from a complete disaster to a feeling of hope for things to come....not a bad turn around.
I am looking forward to eating that first fresh lettuce straight from my own garden.

lettuce getting bigger....
