මමත් නම් ආසම දෙයක්. මේ දවස්වල එළවලු seeds ගෙනත් පැල කරනවා. මේ ඩුබායි වල අමාරුයි කරන්න. මොකද පස් නැහැ වැලි තියෙන්නේ අමුතුවෙන් පස් හදාගන්න වෙනවා . ඒ මදිවට රස්නේ කාලෙට පිච්චෙනවා ගස්. වතුරත් එච්චර හොඳ මදි. එත් ඇත හරින්නේ නෑ. ආසාවට කරගෙන යනවා. update දාන්නම් පස්සේ. ත්රෙඩ් එක කරගෙන යන්න
My vegi patch
A thunderstorm and heavy rain was forecast for yesterday, so I did plant some vegies before that. But when I log on to elakiri, and type everything about my vegi patch, we had a power failure, which lasted 12 hours. This is the longest non predicted power failure I had faced for last 27 years. Anyway, this is not an article about electricity supply.
I have plenty of leeks, spinach(niwithi wage), radish (rabu), beetroot, silver beet (leaf vegetable for mallum ), cabbage (kola gowa), kale(this is a new vegetable, good for mallum) and parsley all ready to harvest (in fact I was giving these vegies away to my S/L friends and neighbours because it's too much for our own consumption).
Yesterday I pull out a wheelbarrow full of silver beet, beetroot and radish and chop them up and put in to compost bin, because I need room to plant new plants.
Since we are out of winter and in to the spring, our own Sri Lankan stuff like KANKUN, GOTU KOLA and MUKUNUWANNA (not alligator weed ), WAMBOTU, BANDAKKA, all starts to grow and will have flowers soon in the latter. I try to grow WATAKOLU and KARAWILA in the winter with 50% success, but now I am having baby fruits in them both, can pick in a fortnight. This year I have planted a tomato (early type, it means that variety can plant in the late winter and protect from the frost and open up when warm weather comes), and it also having little tomatos , but not ripe enough to pick. I have few chillies, which pruned during the winter and cover from the frost, will have flowers soon too. To experiment with new things, I have planted some GARLIC, which never gave me any success due to wrong planting season, but I believe this year I got it right. I have enough KARAPINCHA for whole year, but RAMPE cant be picked for 2-3 months in the peak of winter.
Apart from all above, my family may be the only family using SHALLOTS (RATHU LUNU) throughout the year in Victoria, (Queenslander's got better weather all year around), because I successfully grow them at least 3 seasons a year, and keep the last harvest (late may/early june) until I get the new season harvest in October. I have successfully get seeds from RATHU LUNU, and make a nursery in the winter and plant them as soon as sun come out in late August .
You may think that I am having some 2-3 acres of land to do this, but all this is done in my 5M X 5M greenhouse and 2 other plant beds 0f 1.2M X 8M each. I cover hem up in polythene in winter and shade clothe in summer too.
It's my pleasure to talk about gardening , and if you plant something and get a fruit/leaf out of that, you will be proud about that. Do not compare the cost and hard work you have to put up when planting something, just enjoy it even with little/no success. So there isn't any excuse for not planting anything, plant something, and then talk about that while it's grow. Then we all can enjoy.
