Gardening Clubs

I have planted rainbow silverbeet kale and broccolie, also brussel sprouts lots of lupins for green manure and potatoes. I've put horse poo on the garden thick this year to give it a good boost and i'm going to start planting the front garden with flowers and red cabbages. I'm growing rubbard as well but I don't like to eat it, just because it pretty so the neighbour gets it, I think i'll try your trick and use it as a mulch and see if it helps my flowers and cabbages! Thanks Shona. Let me know if you need any strawberrys!

Greatest sucess besides weeds, my swan plant, sadly the brids ate all my caterpillers ( the Cats at the Birds) and my swan plant (milk weed) flowered and it was lovely dripping small white star shaped flowers from the top of a large plant laddened in green leaves. even dissarster can work out! Good on you with that rubbarb its a very pretty plant. Did you know if you save the green leaves and boil it you can use the leaves as a pest control spray for your plants. Whats your next goal for your garden? Do you have a container garden?
