Introduction; Fruit, Citrus and Vegetables (Pt. II)

It's been a week since the last post, so let's follow through with some updates!

* UPGRADE: Medium-Shelter *


I've constructed a wooden frame around my two raised garden beds using old bed slats. These slats which I found in my garage, are fixed to the side of the beds, and also secured to a stake which has been driven into the ground. With this frame in place I've been able to secure shade cloth over the top, which will provide these seedlings with protection from the elements, and provide some shade. 



 Let's take a closer look inside! 


(Snow-pea)

(Strawberries: These guys I did not look after during the summer of last year. They had inconsistent water, and suffered from no after-noon sun protection). These guys have been relocated to this new location, and now benefit from the shade-cloth above the raised bed. Looking a look happier!


(Iceburg Lettuce)


(Top-Bottom: Cucumber, Californian Yellow Peppers, Red Pepper, English Spinach)


I'll keep you guys updated weekly how these all go. 

I've also recently planted some egg-plant and a purple bean vine. I'll show you these soon!



BONUS: Kalgoorlie Super Pit


This photo was taken by me last week in Kalgoorlie, 595 km east-northeast of Perth.  The Super Pit was Australia's largest open cut gold mine until 2016 when it was surpassed by the Newmont Boddington gold mine, also in Western Australia.


Have a good day folks!
