Nice new bed... :thumbright:

Is that a passionfruit I see hanging down? Is it growing in the system?

Thanks Guy's
earthbound the passion fruit is growing in the ground, but it's watered with AP water. It runs the full length of the fence in the back yard & I get buckets of fruit of it.

So it's the school holidays & I sent some time away from home, was well surprised to find new sprouts in the new GB. I hand watered the new GB for the fist few days after set up & We had 40mm of rain here the other day.

I like it...... seedlings planted but loads of stuff popping up in between..: :thumbright:

A month later & the new bed is filling out, with more seedlings popping up from the reused media all the time. We have had a lot of rain this month which has helped random dormant seed from the previous GBs' germinate, mostly celery. A bit of weeding of the ferals to be done to make room for the keepers. I've planted some cabbage in place to fill the spaces.
Unfortunately the Chinese veg seedlings that I planted have decided to bolt to seed, maybe transplant shock ? Ill leave some to go to seed & try again later. They are attracting beneficial & providing pollen for my bees in the mean time.
