Cool drizzly day. Just picked a healthy pakchoy for dinner tonight - actually I have cut it off and seeing
┬áif it will come away again like some veg do. ┬áIÔÇÖm not keen on silver beet or spinach but really like pakchoy and all brassicas. ┬áThe vege garden is really helping budget wise as havenÔÇÖt brought any vegetables for several weeks now except for a few onions.┬á
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.
