Loaded up the plot next to us with Dwarf bean seeds (will interesting to see if they have run out of juice, or were they just eaten by birds in our plot), left over Green Feast peas & Coriander.

Not much luck with seeds this winter. Even with a second try, next year we will stick to seedlings (if we repeat this year’s cover of sugar cane mulch).

We tried Beetroot (okay), Carrots (not bad), Dwarf beans (3 plants, 1 died after being trampled), Sugar & Snap peas (4 plants).

Winter crops after being planted in March 2025
Close up of just-planted Winter crops

We were on holidays, so our crops have been neglected. Also, #fruitfly has affected the entire Veg Out garden. Some of our tomatoes (mostly, the larger ones) definitely had wee worms when we returned. Unsure if it’ll happen again in the 2025/26 season, but we are going back to self-seeding our own tomatoes next year.

All that said, we’ve now got #oxalis in a big way sad face. No idea where from…

Six hours of trying to pick out every single bloody #oxalis bulb later, plus 3 hours of separating the worms from the castings, plus four hours of digging the castings and straw through the patch, plus 3 hours of planting seedings and seeds, we now have out winter crops planted phew.
