Yay, managed to get a bit of gardening done in today’s gorgeous winter sunshine.

I bought some more potting mix, a couple of indoor plastic pots, a glazed pot for the tulips, some longer garden stakes for the tomatoes and some pyrethrum concentrate. Yup, decided I couldn’t wait any longer while trying to find more organic means of controlling those pesky fungus gnats.

I managed to treat the indoor plants and seedlings with the pyrethrum, but spent a little too much time at work (yes, I work on the weekends too, such is life) so didn’t get a chance to do the outdoor plants as well.

I plan to make a lattice out of the bamboo stakes I bought today and have it up against the north facing wall on the balcony for the current and future tomato plants.

I started the process of planting the tulip bulbs I received recently. I managed to get the soil mixed and into the pot then decided to treat the soil with pyrethrum before planting the bulbs in it. Tomorrow’s going to be a lovely, sunny day again, so I’m going to spend a bit more time on the balcony finishing these jobs.
