Week 11 – Year 2
20th April – 26th April 2009
Radish
Pick lots of radish for salad lunch…. just like them young and crunch and have to pick them before the slugs… a competition with the pest…. last year they won first round, this time I am looking out….
Onion & Beetroot
Put in all the onions set that I bought sometime ago…. also planted in the seedlings of beetroot…
Cabbage: Spring Hero
the cabbage just looking good and taste yummy… the thing is I put in 39 Spring Hero cabbages and only 2 passed away in mid of the winter, I have 37 cabbage to consume, well obviously not all at the same time, even I have given out a few to friends and plotters still have a lot to munch on.. feeling very satisfactory to have this wonderful achievement… from week 33 last year late September grounded the seedling at the plot…
Tea Leaves compost
Tea leaves composting…. which I have tried to recycle the tea leave from those used tea bags… although they can be recycled the whole inside the compost bin, I decided to get the tea leaves out and use it as a concentrated compost to put in around young plants… a booster drink for the plants growth…

Despite all the propoganda, I still find eggshells and teabags don’t rot down that fast in my heaps.
The ‘green’ image may be that the bags are biodegradeable but they don’t so how long it takes! I’m thinking about throwing them through the shredder first!
Thanks for the comment. I have noticed the bags material take long time to rot, and that’s all I have to take time to tear up the bags to collect the leaves (since I have no shredder)… a tedious work but the same as digging the ground…. just go through it…
