Three day weekend, always good. It was exactly one year today that I planted tomatoes. In theory frosts have passed and it's all upward and onward from now. I went mad and planted out a grafted truss tomato the same as last year as well as a sweet 100.

Had to pluck some onions to make way for the capsicum seedlings

Planted 10 of the best potatoes that have been growing chits for weeks, put them at the bottom of a trench prepared with compost and chicken poo a week or two ago. Just covered them with enough soil and will fill up the trench as they grow above the ground.
All the beans are up

Jealous of all your plantings and the delicious bbq pics :) Hope your garden does really well this year.
Ooo, the onions look curious! Go tomato, go... ;)
Thanks Gwen, the forecast is going for a hot dry summer, it's going to be expensive to keep it all watered. Mulch will be important.
