You can never have enough...

When the sun came out I managed to get seedlings planted out into their big garden pots, beetroot, beans, tomatoes. The NZ spinach seed has sprouted, only two seeds so far, but even that would keep me supplied, I plan to put that into my huge baskets, coir lined, so it can spill over the edges and be easy to trim for the kitchen. And new top soil dug fron under the feijoas to mix with clay to prepare the substrate for the new tank that arrives on Sunday. Just in time, the aquatic plants in the first tank are going mad, sucking up all the excess plant food as the tank balances out to start the various chemistry cycles. And my lotus leaf, tiny, is slowly unfurling in the sun.

Fish, wedges, and baked asparagus spears for dinner, the first of the year. So good. Clear blue skies, a chilly night ahead, but summer is definitely coming...
