Yes everything breaks down so quickly here. I was thinking of looking into a green manure crop this year. africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-50579255989122950582014-09-08T10:45:24.699+10:002014-09-08T10:45:24.699+10:00Virginia,

It does look nice in salads, and doesnt have an overpowering flavour which I like. I am hoping that the parsley will keep goinig for a couple of years there - I think they are supposed to last for two years. africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-31157676450010246342014-09-08T10:38:30.424+10:002014-09-08T10:38:30.424+10:00Sue,

They look so great though. That's fascinating about the biochar. I guess tropical soils behave slightly differently to temperate soils. Over here I'm almost ready to sew a winder rye ground cover to boost the little garden for next year. :D Veronica Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15288280932510764014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-67928186647224656302014-09-03T07:33:50.233+10:002014-09-03T07:33:50.233+10:00So that's what a mulberry looks like....all I ...So that's what a mulberry looks like....all I know of mulberries is the children's nursery rhyme.<br />Here we go round the mulberry bush...the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush<br />Here we go round the mulberry bush...so early in the morning.<br />Your garden is coming along fine.. my garden on the other hand the butterflies laid all their eggs on my favourite greens and the caterpillars ate all my bok choy, kale, and salad greens....I have to replant.<br /><br />VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-6225816010970922792014-09-02T11:57:12.151+10:002014-09-02T11:57:12.151+10:00Hi, I bet your garden is pleased you are back! :) ...Hi, I bet your garden is pleased you are back! :) It's wonderful being able to zip outdoors and grab some fresh herbs - I still relish doing this. So much happening in your garden. Looks like you are going to be busy. I read some good articles at school on bio char but didn't implement any of them.
