Cool drizzly day. Just picked a healthy pakchoy for dinner tonight - actually I have cut it off and seeing
if it will come away again like some veg do. I’m not keen on silver beet or spinach but really like pakchoy and all brassicas. The vege garden is really helping budget wise as haven’t brought any vegetables for several weeks now except for a few onions.
Most of what I have in now I grew from seeds which makes it a lot more economical - and interesting - than buying the punnet seedlings.
I made a solution by soaking some garlic granules in water overnight and sprayed it around the garden and there only a few stray aphids left on the kohl rabi so looks like it worked although with the rain I guess it will need redoing quite often. Will try it on the citrus as well and see if it keeps the little blighters away there too.
