Some great ideas for pea support structures from the legend Charles Dowding No Dig Gardening
Using sticks and wires a strings in different heights to support your pea crops … adapting heights to the varieties .. and allowing space for picking ..
so many people plant trellises against fences or behind veggie beds .. and harvesting is harder .
Make some space for the peas to shine 🌱

You might find some seed sellers low on stock or out of stock online..
That’s because their seeds are probably sitting on a container somewhere in the world waiting to get here with all the crazy chaos ..

That’s why it’s more important to support local WA and Australian grown seeds …

I’ll be at Balingup Small Farm Field Day
Tomorrow ( Saturday 18th )
With our local grown seeds and with a selection of Thrive Sustainability and Serpentine Blooms Farm and Made For The Earth seeds

Support local .. and keep our seeds clean 💚

Sorry I’ve been a but quiet on here recently, there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to get new crops in the ground, process seeds before the mice do, pack seeds, send orders and keep on top of all the admin that goes along with running a business. I also home school my son and have a menagerie of animals to take care of, which is wonderful but a lot 🤯 Anyway the first thing to drop off when the workload reaches overload levels is social media and marketing so I always appreciate loyal customers that help me out by spreading the word and telling other gardeners about our business🥰 If you know someone who would like to support WA grown seeds and source chemical free, open pollinated seed for their garden direct them to our website 💚 Pictured is some of the sunflower seeds dry and ready to clean for packets🌻

You can grow some veggies in a box and these styrofoam boxes (picked up from my IGA) are proof and quick growing too !!
Planted 2 weeks ago as a trial ..
radish and rocket ..the quickest growing harvests ..
Pop some holes for drainage in the bottom .. fill with potting mix ( you don’t have to fill them to the top -one bag will do 2 boxes easy ) and sprinkle the seeds .. keep damp .. and they pop up in days..
Perfect for salads or to add to your lunch sandwich 🥪
