SPRING GROWTH

Newly planted strawberries hanging from inside the arch in individual beds. After a steady shower this morning I dashed out and poked several holes in the pockets to allow drainage. It will be interesting to see how well they do.

Sewing six pockets each side and a hem in the middle to hold it up was easy to do. The tarpaulin came from Bunnings and I bought two at the time. Before sewing the next one, I must buy some good sized eyelets for the drainage.

The leaves on the lemon trees are yellowing a bit and need Epsom salts. Apart from that, the trees are healthy and thriving in the compost.

Nectarine in blossom... Hopefully, following the copper spraying program, there will be a successful harvest this year. The final spray is due after petal drop.
