I've still not quite gotten used to the seasons here, but I think it's around springtime, so planting begins! In the bottom picture we have planted rows of carrots and lettuce directly into the ground. They are just starting to poke their heads out now, but are too tiny to catch on my phone camera.
In the top picture we have seedlings planted in trays. These are all alliums - leeks and onions and things like that. When they start growing they have a little string loop that breaks through the surface first. Just about visible in this picture. When they are a few inches tall and around half the thickness of a pencil we'll put them in the ground next to the carrots.
We are going to build raised vegetable beds at some stage, but for the moment the ground servers perfectly.
