12 Oct 2007first harvest Radish Harvesting and Inside Triangular Bed garden
Pulled the first radishes today. All four of them.
More were available, but I decided to hurry inside the house with my treasures. Promptly washed off the dirt and ate them :)
Yum.
From tomorrow, I’ll be able to start including radish in our meals.

08 Oct 2007pruned Rose garden
This year I finished pruning took a couple of days, but I finished on 13 July 2007.
One of the tools that I found useful was a pruning saw as it meant I could finish the task all by myself. Also, it did mean that branches that I let go the previous year, were pruned with the saw this year.

06 Oct 2007rabbits and bears Tiny Orchard garden
Today I planted Rosemary in two pots. One pot has a wire frame in the shape of a rabbit and the other a teddy bear. The aim is to shape the plant in the shape of the wire frame.
The pots are sitting on the wall bordering where the citrus trees are planted.

06 Oct 2007flowers Pomegranate Tree and Inside Triangular Bed gardenA few flowers have appeared, but after flowering the beginning of the fruit appear on the ground. It is a very young tree, and the branches are thinner than a pencil. It is possible that the birds that use the tree to hop onto the nearby bird bath are shaking them off.

They have not been a week, but they are already growing strong. Dad noted that I had not yet put in stakes, and that I should put them in now so as not to damage any roots.
