Late Autumn Plantings etc

So far we've had over 30mm of rain in May.  This has been a pleasure and taken away the need to do the bulk of the watering I had previously been doing.  Still have to water potplants though...

Have dug up three more plots, one in the future 'cottage garden', the other two out the back beyond the vegies.  The cottage garden will soon have a bunch of flower seedlings put in it, and I planted one of the two rear plots with potatoes, beans and peas.  I will have to work on the final bed out the back as the ground was still too hard to dig more than five inches down.

I have taken a swag of cuttings out of their shelter box to 'harden' up outside.  Have put in a few more cuttings of lavender from around town to fill out the space created by their removal (and that of those who have not survived).

Yesterday I put in a bunch of seedlings, sprouts interspersed with mainly dill.

Am holding off with the fennel until I get some potting soil worth the name.

Everything seems to be going along okay.
