Spring has definitely sprung here in the Eastern Cape 🌸🌼🌺

The swallows arrived nearly two weeks ago.

Saw the first yellow billed kite yesterday.

Butterflies a plenty enjoying the early self sown zinnias.

My strawberries are starting to fruit.

Celery, carrots, parsley, dill, snapdragons and zinnias have filled the beds that the pigs destroyed a couple of months ago.

Perfect weather to spend the whole day in my happy place.

Do you have problem with slugs, snails, monkeys, birds etc eating your strawberries ?

Hanging baskets in my fully caged veggie garden seem to be working well for me. Just remember to water regularly and feed with potassium rich liquid manure to encouraging fruiting.

It’s the equinox next Monday with 4 consecutive days being good for planting if you are using a moon calendar. It’s also straight after the new moon so perfect for planting above ground veggies especially fruiting veg like butternut, pumpkins, the squash family, cucumbers, corn, tomatoes, brinjal, beans and chillies.

If you haven’t done so yet, give your no dig beds a light sprinkling of manure/ organic compost, cover with mulch, water well and get planting next week if you want to reap gorgeous organic veggies this summer.

So very cute but what a huge problem if you are trying to grow food.

I have given up growing food in our main garden. That is reserved for herbs, chillies, lemon trees, bananas and flowers for our bees.

It’s been a dry winter and the hornbills have been hanging out on the deck.

Made the huge mistake of leaving a couple of overripe bananas on the table for them .

This little fellow sniffed them out within minutes.

Vervets have an acute sense of smell. We can’t even leave our doors and windows open if we have a bunch of bananas hanging to ripen inside. They even know when the sweet potatoes are ready and we will see them, head down, eating just the part that is slightly exposed . Well at least they let me know when it’s time to harvest.

Solution :
🙈 Build fully caged monkey proof grow houses . . .

We have one and the second one is work in progress .
At least we can protect our vegetable harvests from bushbuck, birds, monkeys and porcupines. Although our area is also good for growing other subtropical fruit, it’s not possible because of the large monkey population so we just focus on bananas which can be picked before the monkeys get them and ripened inside.
