Garden round up - the bad and the ugly

Ugh. So tired. So busy at work. I must have really annoyed someone last year to be given 6 classes and two subjects I've not taught before when I'm only around for a term. I'm spending so much time on preparation it's crazy. Anyhow, it's time to pull out the other half of the garden round up I typed a couple of weeks back.

Disappointments

- Capsicum - One capsicum on the plant. Same thing happened last year so I think it may be about the Canberra growing season more than anything else.

- Zucchini - Plant didn't grow well. Two zucchini to date, although it looks as though it's picked up in the last couple of weeks so there may be more yet.

- Butternut Pumpkin - was mown over by A in it's early days - opps. Despite this, there is one pumpkin growing well. Like the zucchini, it seems to have picked up in the last week or so, so maybe there'll be more!

- Radish - very small harvest for amount planted.

- Strawberry - we got one strawberry each. They were fantastically delicious. I think the chooks and birds may have enjoyed more than we did.

Complete failures

- Spring Onion - I put the seeds in, nothing came up!

- Coriander - grew but went to seed without producing a significant amount of leaves.

- Eggplant - overwhelmed by giant tomato plants. Had flowers but never set fruit.

Yet to be judged

- Self seeded pumpkin next to chook pen. The vine is huge. It's taking over the back fence - probably the only thing holding the fence up if I'm honest! There are about 4 or 5 pumpkins growing with many more flowers. Fingers crossed!

- Chilli - lots of little chillies, should be able to test them out in the next couple of weeks.

- Celery - Growing...we'll see

- Beetroot - growing well, just picked the first one the other day and it was delicious. I reckon these will be moving up to the 'success' list!

Any recommendations for the winter growing season?
