This was the first year I tried the winged beans and couldn't figure out why they took so long. Same with my snake beans. I have been so excited that this is the first year my grandkids have taken to chewing on green beans while we wander the garden.... they are not letting them get big and woody. Oh no! not more rain...africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-46654290750514941972012-03-27T14:05:12.796+10:002012-03-27T14:05:12.796+10:00Considering it is a wet season plant it seems stra...Considering it is a wet season plant it seems strange that it would suffer from fungus. I think I will put a few clumps of comfrey there so that when the annual plants die down there will still be coverage.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-70949400319619487212012-03-27T14:03:43.347+10:002012-03-27T14:03:43.347+10:00Oh you are so sweet, and it has been growing on me...Oh you are so sweet, and it has been growing on me.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-61825807268784204092012-03-27T14:02:51.251+10:002012-03-27T14:02:51.251+10:00I think even if it is not raining, but overcast, t...I think even if it is not raining, but overcast, the veggies stretch out their necks to find some sunshine and become long and leggy.

My problem now being to find them before they get too big and woody :)<br /><br />Also, keep an eye out for the cyclone they think may form in the Coral Sea at the end of this week, more rain on the way if it does.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634866101136501189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-35359913121412096312012-03-27T06:52:20.234+10:002012-03-27T06:52:20.234+10:00I hope your winged bean recovers from the fungus a...I hope your winged bean recovers from the fungus attack. One has to do what one has to do to keep vermin out of the garden. Once those corrugated iron sheets are covered with vegetation, nobody would know that there was once a 'shanty town' there.Solitude Risinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458281340276483361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-85705071341640604682012-03-26T14:05:38.923+10:002012-03-26T14:05:38.923+10:00Oh my, I don't see 'shanty' at all, I ...Oh my, I don't see 'shanty' at all, I see beautiful plants and in a short time you won't even see the tin when the vines get growing.<br /><br />Tin is 'in' lately, anyway, so I think you have the best of both worlds!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-33694933128418862442012-03-26T10:23:21.496+10:002012-03-26T10:23:21.496+10:00I probably should have used your spray on my vegie...I probably should have used your spray on my vegies but they're too far gone. We haven't had the quanity of rain you have had but seem to have had nearly as many wet days this year. Good for the rest of the plants, but the vegies hated it.<br />My opinion -- If the iron serves the purpose you need, then you should keep it. A garden should be all about recycling.Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940119240313980400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-35881332957064545962012-03-26T10:10:35.411+10:002012-03-26T10:10:35.411+10:00Hi Laura,

I love to look at the "potager" type of kitchen gardens, but then the permaculture ones thrill me more lately. I hope that fence will soon be covered in greenery. I have been following the posts about your chook shed, but it is beautiful - nothing shanty about that.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-81291970767793497822012-03-26T09:32:46.536+10:002012-03-26T09:32:46.536+10:00Grrr, that darned fungus.

But you need to keep at it after a rain or just enough humid days. Good luck elimating yours.<br /><br />I guess I see what you mean about the shanty-town look, but I wouldn't have called it that if you hadn't pointed it out. I used to have an image of gardens that was all neat, well trimmed, with box hedges and flowing lavendar. Those days are long behind me and I now look at individual plants and their health and productivity plus an overall sense of life and growth and beauty. Your garden always looks great to me. It's so verdant you don't need to worry about a little bit of corrugated iron.<br /><br />In the interest of disclosure I should say I have a chook run in my yard now with it's chook shed and lots of chicken wire and star pickets (do I hear you saying "shanty town"?) so maybe my opinion is tainted :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
